It's not your fault.
If this is totally out of character for him he really needs to be checked out by a doctor. Older people can have mental illnesses that cause a change in behaviour or lowered inhibitions. They can also be treated and totally recover! (Seen it happen in my family.)
Perhaps you could refuse to see him again until he's evaluated? That might also help him understand just how serious it is.
Again it's totally not your fault. It sounds like you handled everything well. Emotionally, I can imagine it must be horribly upsetting, especially with your history. Please keep reaching out and get all the support you need for yourself for as long as you need it.
It's not your fault (one more time).
