I know you need to respond to her b/c that is what is expected in your relationship with her and I know your expectations around texting.
However......this is communication that YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT MISINTERPRETED in any way shape or form.
I would at minimum have a phone conversation with her. That way she can hear the "tone" and "inflection" in your voice.....
and that tone should be on the softer side IMO.....you do not want to come across controling at all.
We can talk a big game here on the board and talk about laying down the LAW and BOUNDARIES and so on and so forth....
But....
If I thought you were sorta DICTATING to me WHAT I NEED to do.....
I would tell you to "GO EFF YOURSELF".
As a former card carring member of the "Controling Husband's Club"....I do not need to tell you that the damage a few words can do and how Looooooonnnnnngggggggg it takes to recover from it.
Do yourself a favor......call her.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
