Speak to Womens Aid for advice on handling him.
You could use a parenting App like Family Wizard, which is designed to help manage and record things. You install the app and tell him this is the only way you will be communicating with him.
Sorry you are going through this.

Block him. Use a parenting app to communicate. You've made concessions to him (using Facebook etc) but hes thrown that back in your face and make it unreasonable for you to continue.

I dont know the legal ins and outs, but I would log details of when hes outside your house etc and absolutely do make sure the police log it. Him lurking outside for a few mins might not be enough on its own, but if its part of a pattern they can and should do something.

Stay safe x

Parenting app Only. No other method of communication - no email/phone/whatsapp. And, make sure you do not rise to any bait/provocative statements. Keep your responses factual, brief. Take the oxygen out of his fire.
