Joseph, you asked what her goal is to send that text? She, once again, wants to touch the hot stove and maybe she's not even aware of it, but is trying to put her memory front and center in his mine. She most likely is thinking that this particular text will urge him to start up the texting again. She can't help herself....she needs and craves contact w/him no matter if it is positive or negative.
KC, stop initiating contact w/him...don't do it!!! You need to just leave things be and focus on your son's party, focus on you and take back your pride and respect.. The only way you will gain his respect is to listen to what he's said and his actions, i.e., moving out, purchasing a new home and yes that ow.
Do not send that text!!!! Go radio silent. Sometimes staying quiet is the best way to deal w/someone who is out on the street....it gives them a pause to wonder what you are doing.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
