Python Keyboard module - Exit blocking read event function

Hello,
I have the below code that corrects user input and I want to exit the blocking function keyboard.read_event when the control is returned from the correction thread.
The whole program works well but I cannot exit immediately after the corrector thread is finished (the program waits for key press).
I tried using a custom Exception for interrupting the keyboard.read_event function, but I didn't manage to make it work.

import keyboard
import threading
import time

class Interrupt_Custom_Exception(Exception):
   """Base class for other exceptions"""
   pass

def delete_and_write(times_to_delete, word_to_write):
    print("------------Deleting & Rewrite Started---")
    time.sleep(2)
    print("------------Deleting & Rewrite Ended---")
    # simulate deletion and rewrite
    #**here I tried the raise Interrupt_Custom_Exception and tried to catch it at the code in the class, but didn't work**

    keyboard.write(string)

            self._is_running = False


if __name__ == "__main__":
    kb_not_suppressed = keyboard_monitor("not_suppressed_monitor", 1, "", False, 0)
    kb_not_suppressed.start()
    kb_not_suppressed.join()

Any idea on how to exit this blocking function would be very very useful.
Thanks in advance.
