Yes it was violent
How is
this violent?
In this conversation, one of the parties is manipulating the other by reflecting a version of reality in which she is to blame. The more the victim attempts to present her version of the situation, the more the abuser twists what she is saying to show that she is in the wrong. This is a common form of psychological violence that is very effective in generating feelings of guilt in the victim so that she gives in to the abuser's demands.
In your opinion
Is the abuser's so-called concern a justification for his response?
No
Someone who is motivated by worry or concern might send multiple messages but the tone and content of these messages would be different: "Where are you sweetheart, I'm worried…" "Phew, I'm relieved." There would be no attempts to coerce or blame the other person as there are in this conversation.
