AL, go DARK now. Enough texting. Your job right now is to settle your mind. That is a difficult enough task to accomplish on its own.
You are NOT there to placate him and you should not be telling him anything. That INCLUDES not texting him to let him know that you are safe. Give him time to weigh in the consequences of his actions. I agree with Starsky that he should feel like he has lost you.
This means NO CONTACT whatsoever with him. If he was truly worried about your well-being he would have thought of that beforehand.

This also has the benefit of helping you cope. It will give you the breathing room to rest and gather your strength. If you feel the urge to contact. Just journal. It will be difficult as you will give yourself a thousand reasons to contact him.
So write them down. And write a reason not to. To keep it in balance.
Remember. This is to protect you. And allow you the breathing room to take good care of yourself and your emotions. IT will help you with the DB path.
And remember if it is something very important to break contact. Follow the 24 hour rule. If it is important in 24 hours. Then its important. Then use your lawyer, or someone else to communicate.
Silence allows you to heal. Silence allows you to actually see that this all happens slower than your mind is tricking you into thinking.
Protect yourself now.
Gain strength and sanity.
