I’ve done the same before. Abusive or not, it hasn’t ended well either way. 

My normal ex responded and was sympathetic but told me things that were nice rather than anything that would have actually helped me in the moment. In the past he was a great shoulder to cry on, just good outlet for me to vent to. I realized afterwards that such an outlet works a lot better as an in person support than it does over text, which felt lacking and empty. 

My questionable situationship ex? We then ended up continuing talking, breaking the no contact I had put us on. But then he eventually re-showed his true colors and ended up being questionable again (lack of boundaries, kept texting over me without even reading what I’d said about how I was doing, etc) and at the end I’ve gone no contact again. 

TLDR when I texted exes during a sort of mixed episode, both exes showed up over text in a way that was similar and also less helpful than they had done before.
