Completely different reason, but I felt that same satisfaction when my dad died of a painful stomach cancer. Shit head abandoned his wife and kids for his affair partner and her 4 kids. He did a bunch of stupid shit because he was a stupid shit. I was sad for my aunts because they lost their brother, but his death has made me closer to them so that’s a win 🤷♀️
Otherwise, it was so satisfying knowing that he died in pain without his own children or hers there. I don’t feel guilty for feeling that and neither should you 💚
The abusive thing that I grew up around may or may not be dead, haven’t spoken to her in 20yrs. But the history of cancer on the women’s side took all her grandmother, all her aunts, and my grandma, so there’s a strong chance she’ll rot and die without family. And while she’ll undoubtedly continue to bemoan her victimhood and abandonment to the end, won’t change that she’s driven her children away. I can totally understand your satisfaction.

Oh, I don’t feel guilty for it.
I’m glad you’re living a good life now
