Dear Lindsey:

I suggest that you write him a letter/ message. Start with a long “Part One” (optional, only if you want to), where you express to him everything that you want to express, all of it.

Then under a much shorter “Part Two”- tell him that he said that he’ll call Monday, he didn’t, you resent that he didn’t keep his word. You’ve been obsessing about it ever since, and about whether he will be calling today (Tuesday). Tell him this obsessing is driving you crazy. Because (1) he didn’t keep his word, and (2) you can’t stop obsessing while still hoping that he’ll call-

– your only option is to once again end all contact with him. Ask him then to respect you and not initiate any message or phone call to you. Then wish his daughter full recovery and wish him well.
