I would cut ties.  Leave yourself open to helping with a phone call or e-mail, but cut ties.  It may be a tough decision, but you have made the decision to better yourself and leave.  I  would tell them you are flattered, but can not stay.  Will negotiate consulting fees if necessary beyond the phone call or e-mail.  Set up a gmail account for that as well, then turn it off after a month.
