[Islander7]

“… If I lived near these now “men,” I’d have to work hard to not torment them...”

I have out lived most of my childhood tormentors. Those still around are in poor health. Best revenge is to live well and be happy.

That only works if you’re female. If you’re male, they will keep upping the ante until you brutalize them in return. Doing nothing is a death sentence for a male.
