“I was stalked and it wasn’t taken seriously. It greatly affected me and my family. Like our whole lives revolved around him.”
“The person in question is now in prison (unrelated charges but won’t be out for a good 10 years but he’s old so might die in jail).”
“The day he went to prison, I drank a whole bottle of champagne. When he dies, it’ll be 2…Stalkers never consider how their actions affect you. Your reaction is nobody else’s business.”
“Stalking is viewed as harmlessly weird or even ‘romantic’ by way too many people. My friend was murdered by her stalker, there were years of unsettling behavior and a flight to a different continent.”
“I know of a group of people who recently did the same for another reason and one of their acquaintances felt uncomfortable and left but those who were victims of the person who died are the only ones who would really understand what they went through when they were alive.”
“They would feel relief that they are gone now and won’t be able to do it to them or anyone else again.”
“So from the outside it might seem in bad taste but people cope in different ways.”
“Most women will sympathize with you since we deal with unwanted attention from a young age. We know how it feels to always feel slightly unsafe.”
“You had a literal boogeyman turn up from nowhere and terrorize you. Of course, you are going to celebrate the irrefutable proof that you will no longer be terrorized.”
“Even if he went to jail you would not have had the same certainty that your nightmare won’t start again once he is out.”
“You should still go for therapy, you may still have PTSD. May you live your best life going forward.”
