GM, He knows exactly what he's done and he's feeling a guilty about it, i.e., like a teenager who has promised to mow the lawn and didn't. He wants to be in your good graces because he needs something from you.
If you don't want to respond to his emails, then don't. However, if one of them is about the settlement, I would suggest that you respond back to that one and say "h, any questions, comments, etc., about the settlement should be directed to the lawyers and they will hash it out." Nothing more.
I'm very sorry he's still acting out, but hopefully once everything is settled he will not be such a PIA.
Please take care of yourself and enjoy your trip.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
