You're welcome. I'm talking to you the way I'd talk to my GF, if she wasn't my GF but needed advice. I think you may be over-thinking this situation. Ghosting would spare you the burden of letting the MFer down gently, and would be something he'd figure out on his own anyway.
If he's supposedly been through so much already, he should have a thick skin & can handle being ghosted. If not, then all the more reason to ghost the MFer.
If you must say something, be short simple and to the point. And THEN ghost.
"Hey bud, how you doing? You know, I'm not into playing games. Middle-school is long gone. So I'll just be straight-up with you. I'm with somebody else now. And that person is the only one I give a fuck about spending any time with. So, see ya around."
Put your time and energy into finding that person. You've spent enough time and energy dwelling on this situation, more than it deserved.
Again, I'm sorry for your situation. Good luck to you and put this burden out of your mind.
