But then on our trip W mentioned that she had been trying to reconnect with me through texting pictures of our S and stuff like that.
H, does that sound like good, solid, quality reconnecting there? Or just more WAS spew? I know what I think

She had the impression that my short replies were rude even if I didn’t intend for them to be rude. So yeah not sure if I should be a little more conversational with her.
I would continue to keep it brief. Send her a message (through your actions) that you're not here to comply with whatever crazy terms of engagement she thinks are suitable. You do your thing and leave her to her mess.
