Hi AT, I've been following your thread and just wanted to join with the rest of the community in congratulating you with your composure and ability to state your boundaries etc when you saw you wife yesterday.
I know you feel like you should respond to that text, that's how conversations go but texts are "short message service" - a message not a conversation. She sent you a "message" as requested.
She knows you will be glad she got there safely.
As for the thank you - you expressed your self for you in the main - but it's good to see she appreciated it. No need to respond to that either in my opinion.
