It's up to you. He said if you want to continue with him, you could call the office.
Your message(s) to him are confusing: you say you no longer trust him, yet when he offers to refer you to somebody with whom you could work on your issues, you get angry and accuse him of abandoning you. It seems he can't do anything right.
You need to be clear whether you do still want to work with him or not. If a client doesn't trust a therapist, there is not much work a therapist can do. In this sense, he was trying to do his best for you by looking for someone else.
I don't see him doing anything wrong. He is right in that if you want to keep working together, this push-pull: 'I don't trust' vs. 'don't abandon me' is going to leave you in a stuck place. It is not ethical for a therapist to keep a client who remains in a stuck place. Hence why he wants to discuss this with you IF you want to continue.
I would also suggest you ask yourself what you want from him: reassurance? an apology? what...? He tries and you don't trust him. He offers to refer you out and you get angry. The poor guy doesn't have a leg to stand on, if you are not clear with him.
