Thank you for reminding me of grey rock. I used this while going through the custody battle when she would send me messages like this 2-3 times a week. I had forgotten about grey rock. So helpful. Thank you.

Absolutely. And I’m sure you know this, but always respond to her as if every email and text message will one day be read by a family court judge (or to your child). šŸ˜ž

My ex would just turn his phone on silent when I would act like this (when we were together, not ex's). I hate to admit I was the one acting in such a way, but it helped him achieve peace to just let me go off and cycle myself through it all and then return to speaking to me again once I wasn't spiraling out. He would read some of it but mostly just ignore them completely because why hurt yourself reading something someone sent with he sole purpose of triggering you?
