I should have ended it a long time ago, when I was first given signs that he's abusive and unbalanced. But I thought that I would focus on the good things in our relationship instead and give him another chance. Well, another chance became another chance, and another chance became another chance, etc. We always ended up at the same place: He'd scream at me, throw a few Scriptures in my direction, and then make ridiculous false accusations. I'd politely ask him to stop doing this, send him a Scripture in return (Usually Galatians 5), and then he'd calm down and apologize.
But now I've realized that you can forgive someone and yet have nothing more to do with him. That's what I'm doing. He's already forgiven for what he said to me, because I don't want to hold a grudge. But I can't trust him, and I certainly can't take his abuse. So I've deleted him from my address book and my mailing list. He needs some serious help, and I'm just not the one to do that for him. And I certainly don't need him abusing my list members, most of whom are very good friends of mine.
