Hello Amanda, I agree with what everyone has said. Abusers like this so often claim they will not hurt again, but if they have not dealt with their problems totally, they are still simply too dangerous. I also agree that the best way to stop him from trying to contact you is to ignore him and not respond in any way. I worked with domestic violence survivors for 4 years, and their abusers would so often look for a way to contact their victims, even just so they were seen. It was like a cheap payoff for them to see the victim still afraid. The one thing that really worked was depriving them of that payoff by ignoring them. Stay as far away as you can and stay safe. You need time to heal, but you can do it and you can find peace.

Be well,
