day to day silence

the toughest thing he faces in living with her is the day to day silence... he knows that she is facing a lot of challenges and she does not want to talk about them... she does her best to ignore them, to avoid them, and they just get worse... she falls behind in her work and refuses his help in getting more organized... she falls deeper into debt and refuses to discuss it... she becomes more and more dependence on prescription drugs and she pretends it is only temporary... she spirals in and out of depression and anxiety and self-injury and he helps her out of it but she just goes silent when he asks her to explore her feelings or what drives her to harm herself... she denies and avoids and pretends nothing is wrong as they live in day to day silence... his biggest concern is that buried within the silence may be lies...
