* American SerialKiller [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Sellers Sean Sellers]]' psychological decline was in large part due to this. His mother and stepfather frequently moved around due to their jobs and as a result, Sean had a FriendlessBackground and tried to avoid getting attached to other people so he wouldn't be disappointed when he inevitably left. After finding happiness in Colorado Sean became embittered after being uprooted once again, and as a result of this in addition to [[AbusiveParents physical abuse from his mother Vonda]] he grew to resent his family and turned to HollywoodSatanism in a bid to gain control of his own life and environment. After murdering a store clerk at the age of 16, he murdered his parents in their sleep months later in 1986 before being arrested, [[TheAtoner converted to Christianity in prison]], and finally executed in 1999.
