I Think it's Way Too Late

I would not send the text. While it may make you feel better for a few seconds, it will start a text war, IMO. It would also give her what she wants and that is to know she got to you. Set your boundaries is my best advice to you. The more she knows she gets to you the more she will text you.

Having said that, my ignoring MIL and not commenting or posting my own stuff has not changed her posting. In fact, just today she posted a new 10 quotes for me. Most revolved around me being a piece of sh!t. ie "today I saw a piece of sh!t on the ground and I thought of you."

I originally thought about commenting on them but thought it will just give her peace of mind knowing she was getting to me. Which she is. I also thought of contacting her son. He asked me when it got to the point that I may consider pursuing harassment if I would say something to him and he would talk to her. But same thing, I think she really wants to get to me and that would let her know it works. So during the times I just have to look (which I am getting much better at, I made it 5 whole days without looking) I just read them and then feel down.
