Take it from someone who kept around a lot of toxic people because I tried to see the good in them (and really downplayed all of the bad) and felt sorry for them or like I could help them- don't keep someone in your life that is causing you this much grief. It is not worth it to set yourself on fire to keep others warm, and to allow him to come in and out of your life and mess with your emotions. He sounds unstable and like he isn't a healthy addition to your life.
Just because he has the potential to be a good person doesn't mean he's good for you, or that he will continue down a good path. As you've said, he has what seem like pretty severe ups and downs, and you don't need to subject yourself to that.
