You will see the child come out to play often. If he doesn't know where you live, may I suggest that you go to another town and get a mail box so that he can send your things to you. Or...since he has reconnected with a family member of yours, he can send your belongings there. If I were in your shoes, I certainly wouldn't give him my address until I was absolutely sure he was "sane" again.
Oh, I can understand just how you feel about your situation. You have much better thoughts about wanting to throat punch him. I wanted to run over my nutty buddy and then back up and run him over again and again. They really do push us to the limit....but I can assure you, you are stronger than you think. That is why I always state "get a pillow and beat the living heck out of it". Find something physical that will help alleviate all of that stress.
I hope that my suggestions will help you decide about where to pick up your belongings. Just remember to breathe!
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.
