Yep, I do keep abreast of Mr. Old's thread. I can see why you appear confused. Welcome to DBing!!
Put yourself in W's shoes. When you thank someone for something, it is the polite and respectful thing to do is to respond back. Right? Usually we respond with "Your're welcome. Have a great day!" This is what we would normally do to our friends and family. This is no different from this interaction with W.
The dynamic needs to change and the first step starts WITH YOU. If past patterns have been angry, heated, and filled with pain, then to change up this pattern, it needs to start somewhere. Right. That also works to chip slowly at the Berlin Wall that WASes erect up after BD and whatnot.
This is not to say that Mr. Old is pursuing by increasing those text exchanges. In my case, Ms. Wonka and I only exchanged HBD texts for nearly 9 years until our first phone conversation in the Fall of 2012 and then after texts start to become more and more frequent. Talk about a massive glacier that is Ms. Wonka!!! Now these texts occur about once a month because I go all dark on her and she usually initiates after a month has passed by. I speak from personal experience.
