I think you just need to tell the F-I-L for now that you need your
space and that you know how to reach him.

And if at sometime its possible for it to be safe for you to reach him,
and you don't need your space anymore then you will.

That you will not be answering anymore emails, or anything else.
And if you know how to put his email in your spam, do that.
