It's amazing how the balance of control shifts by just putting up a boundary.
"Control"?

I didn't respond to W's texts and she texted me again this AM, and said, "It'd be really nice if you'd acknowledge what I'm asking. Geez". Cracks me up a little that someone can have an EA, leave church, dump her friends, parents, and extended family, and break up a family, but by gosh, it'd be nice if someone acknowledged her!
You sound just a little too gleeful about this, like you're finally getting one over on her. You need to really search your heart on this. Feeling a need for revenge is not going to help you along your path.

Now ahe is the one asking nicely, and its crucial to note here that I made no efforts at control.
And yet, what did you say above? That you shifted the balance of "control"? I do think you're trying to control her.

Quit holding the piano over her head. Get it done and over with.
