But like real question: Why do people ask these type of questions?

    I’ve made an inexcusable mistake that caused someone to die. It’s been 20-ish years, still not over it. Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

    People ask because murderers exist, and if they’ve served their sentence, they might be willing to answer and have interesting stories?

      If it was a mistake and you didn’t intend to actually kill anyone, then yes I think you’re allowed to move on at some point and even forgive yourself for that.

      Mistakes happen. Often it’s just bad luck. There’s no benefit in beating yourself up about it. What happened has happened and there’s no going back. Grieving and regretting and feeling bad and such is normal and okay but I’d say 20 years is enough time to start thinking of forgiveness and moving on.

      Its been 20 years. Why not share the story. Its an anonymous forum. Most will assume any stories here are made up. It’s therapeutic as fuck, like writing a letter you’ll never send. Just giving a perspective most who know you would never give.🍻
