She Had A Stalker For 16 Years, And She Cried With Relief When He Passed Away Yesterday
When this 33-year-old woman was back in high school, she dated a guy named Nathan for several months.
But then she came to see that Nate had a dark and violent side. His dad was also terrifying, and a couple of incidents happened back to back in the span of four weeks, which made her leave Nate.
As high school came to an end, Nathan was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder, but she doesn’t believe that accounted for his violent nature; it just magnified certain parts of his awful personality.
“Not too long after his diagnosis, he dropped out of school and hunkered down in his room in his parent’s house in front of his computer, unmedicated and fueled by alcohol and cigarettes,” she explained.
“For whatever reason, when his disorder was triggered, he became hyper-fixated on me. He started messaging me hundreds of times a day, so much so that I changed my number.”
Nathan moved to social media after he could no longer reach her on her phone, sending her dozens upon dozens of messages there. His messages were graphic and heart-stopping.
Nathan continued to escalate, reaching out to her family members and friends with his gross messages, too.
Some days, she received literally thousands of messages from Nathan. Thousands.
“He’d also post on online forums with my full name, saying disgusting things that were easily findable with a quick Google search,” she added.

She had to block 200 different accounts Nathan made, and one day, she decided to go to the police.
She moved away for college, but Nathan didn’t know, and he showed up at her mom and dad’s house looking for her.
He had a van and wasn’t alone: a creepy guy with a criminal record accompanied him, and that was what made her family reach out to the police.
Sadly, the female officer who spoke to her didn’t care about Nathan stalking her, and this woman did nothing to help her. She and her family were shocked that they were left to deal with Nathan on their own.
Nathan kept sending her horrific messages, and it was all he did. She finally filed for a restraining order against him, and she thankfully got a judge assigned to her case who took her seriously, so she received the order.
However, the restraining order hardly stopped Nathan, who kept on messaging her. The police would go to Nathan’s house or put him in jail for an evening, but that didn’t deter him either.
“After 15 years of this, I knew that as long as this man was alive, he would be a plague on my life. He’d never stop. He even told me so,” she said.
Two years ago, Nathan made certain threats, and then he was prosecuted for felony stalking. Nathan was deemed guilty and sentenced to a year behind bars.
She says that was the most wonderful year of her life, as she didn’t get any messages from Nathan, and she didn’t have to be concerned about her safety or her family’s safety.
Six months ago, Nathan got out, and surprisingly, he had not reached out to her at all. Two weeks ago, though, he began sending messages to her best friend stating he had cancer and was dying.
She and her best friend were skeptical, but it turned out that Nathan wasn’t lying about his health.
“Apparently, he was recently diagnosed with severe stage 4 stomach cancer,” she continued. “It only took a couple of weeks.”
“He died yesterday. I want to feel pity for him. He grew up in an abusive house and had a debilitating, unmedicated disorder. But to be honest, I cried tears of joy when I heard. I want to celebrate. I am so happy.”
“Happy that this man can’t hurt me or anyone I love anymore…I am happy that my stalker is dead.”
