Afraid my abuser will kill me when he gets out of prison

In 2023 my abuser was sentenced to just under 12 years in federal prison for the things he did to me and the woman he was with after me. While I am beyond grateful that I had my day in court, I am still absolutely terrified of him coming to kill me or my family when he gets out. I already get updates on everything, i have a permanent restraining order against him, and upon release he has to register as a sex offender for life, but it doesnt feel like enough.

I already plan on moving, having cameras/security systems, I have a gun. I am getting married in a couple of years and I want children but that makes this all the more terrifying because I worry for their safety as well. It's so bad I'm considering leaving the country entirely.

A woman in my town recently got shot by her abusive ex she hadn't seen in 10 years.

I wish he would fucking die in prison so I never have to worry about him again
