Her reference to future historians may be her most revealing admission yet.

Too true. The whole years-long, apparently never-ending situation reminds me of the recently late, great Harlan Ellison, who wrote the short story, "The Man Who Was Heavily into Revenge." From a review:

Ultimately, in my view, the tragedy of the story is not the wrongs that have been done to Tolliver, nor is it the dismal end to Weisel, but is Tolliver's inability to get past his wretchedness and proceed with his life.

Ellison also wrote the ultimate non-fiction essay on revenge. From a review of that one:
...while it’s hard to argue that Ellison wasn’t justified in seeking redress, or that he failed to exhaust all avenues before proceeding, there’s something unnerving about it as well.

Normal humans have to rest sometime....

The reasons may seem good to you, Rosebud, but they do not come across that way. Visits to a notary public with your writings and a long term safety deposit box rental would probably be a far less personally damaging way to preserve your words for historians.
