However, my ex and I broke up last Halloween and never did I receive any mass texts on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter...you get the point...On top of that, the mother has done a little scheming before in the past. She really liked me so after the break up she tried to keep us together with little scheming. And my ex has a habit of using her to contact me. Back in January he told her to give me his new number and that I could contact him if I wanted.That convo went bad so we haven't spoken in months. I did learn though that he was talking to someone not too long ago, but they broke up.So he's recently single again. And now I have received a "random" text from his mother. Do you think her texting today was an accident, or to see if I still have the same number or another scheme?

I think that you should not worry about such things as he's an ex and should stay that way.
it could have been random, it could have been a mistake.
if you want to have a relationship with her, then contact her... but do not do it to try to get with him.

Hi there. Perhaps his mother, is simply trying to play cupid and get you back together again.
And you did try to make it work, but unfortunately, it didn't go well.
His mother could be still holding out, in the hope that you and her son will eventually work things out.
If he wants to get back in touch, well then why doesn't he do it himself?
Why get your mother to do your dirty work?
Well if you receive any more texts from your ex's mother, just ignore them.
And don't get back in touch with your ex, if you are expected to do all the work.
Let him chase you for a change.
If he really wants to get back with you, well then surely he can manage to give you a call himself.
It just seems like he is only half-hearted, if he gets someone else to send you a text message, asking how you are.
It only takes 2 minutes to make a phone call, how difficult is that?

Don't reply. You said it yourself she is a schemer. You guys broke up for a reason. Don't look back keep moving forward.

Just ignore it. If you hear from him or get another from her,
something is up.
