[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t. I sort of wonder if I will move on more when my parents die. I’m not hoping for them to die soon because there are good things about them being alive, but I do wonder if I might move on more easily when that chapter is closed.[/quote]

PP, I wondered the same.  When my father died (he was not the direct cause of trauma, but was associated with it), I wondered at first if I would feel a little more free of it.  But ultimately, it didn't make any difference.  Now I find myself wondering if I'll feel better when those directly responsible are dead, but I suspect that won't help any either.  It's something inside me now and not out there anywhere.  [/quote]
Dp. I am certain I will find peace and, perhaps satisfaction and joy, when the person who abused and stalked me is dead. I am high functioning, in terms of mental health, but I always look over my shoulder and scan places expecting to see him. That sense of being followed and watched seldom leaves me. Once he is dead, the possibility that he is around the corner goes away and I'll know it is really over.[/quote]
