If he's that triggering or harmful to you emotionally, tell him you don't want anything to do with him and then ignore any of his further attempts to contact you (if there are any). Heck, block him if you need to. You don't owe anyone anything even if there was a previous relationship. Protect yourself above all else.
Thanks for this!

Not worth it! It's already been too much for you.... and how much can someone REALLY change. I know it's probably painful though... it will be worse if you let him back in. They say time takes care of it... and it's a cliché but it's true. Over time your brain learns to not go back there. Don't reminisce about the good times - or the bad - could be triggering. Take care!

I think having to go IP over him once was enough.

So I texted back... "Why are you contacting me?" And so far no response. .. I think he got the point. At least I hope he did.
