In order to forgive him, he has to be repentant and ask for forgiveness himself. Even compassion must bend to the laws of the conscience. It could be that he has no idea how much damage he's done, and the only way may be to tell him yourself. Following this, he still may not be repentant. He may even be defiant.
If he does ask for the forgiveness you sound like you intend to grant him, I would recommend maintaining your distance, regardless. Some people are so broken by events in their lives that they can only allow you to reach closure. And he sounds like he's in a very bad way, fundamentally. Good luck.
