They don't [i]deserve[/i] it, but I'd rather they think I'm dead so that they have a smaller chance of getting caught up in my problems when they should be living their lives as peacefully as reality will allow them to.
I have no plans to go back and visit them.

Isn't not getting them involved as simple as not telling them?
