    I think you need to do what just feels right.. it seems like there are a lot of reasons to stay away from him, which is fine. You can forgive him, if you feel like you want to, but that doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with him or see him. It is okay to be able to forgive him and move on from all of this, you don't need to have a hatred for him but if you aren't ready to forgive him, then don't. You don't have to specifically tell him this either, you can just know in your heart that you are not going to let this keep effecting you.
