CRW,
I'm really seeing zero DRing in that text exchange. At the most you should only be cordial - I'm just not seeing the detachment. If she has a comment/complaint validate. Any more than that shouldn't receive much of an answer. And you certainly shouldn't be asking or telling your feelings.

I know it's hard, but you've got to give her the space and then some - it's no wonder she's 'mad'. You're doing exactly what you should do if you want her to resent you, disrespect you and rebel even more than she already is.

She's got to figure out what life is without you, and that includes your messages. Keep it to specifics. Time, place, now, later - buh-bye.
