[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I say this with nothing but love. One verbal exchange, even a humiliating one, is not grounds for someone to be killed or to have their will to live taken away. It's not grounds to take their kids or anything else  you mentioned. I am a bit concerned that you may misinterpret the lovely messages of support you've gotten as proof that your intense wishes for harm to befall this person are appropriate. If this person had murdered your child or something like that, your post would be emotionally on key and appropriate. But lots of people get into verbal tiffs, and it isn't a death sentence. Don't. Do. Anything. Harmful.  [/quote]

I’m going to take the OP’s word for it that it was that bad. [/quote]

It wasn't "they should die for it" bad.  Especially since OP's own story is that everyone sided with the villain.  It doesn't add up.  Not saying OP wasn't traumatized or that their hurt isn't valid. But this isn't about hurt, this Is about an all consuming desire for vengeance.  [/quote]

I get where you're coming from.  I have a family member with this mentality.  You could tell her you don't like her shoes, and she'd respond that she hopes you get terminal cancer.  We've long suspected she suffers from a personality disorder but she refuses treatment because she doesn't see a problem.  In her mind, once you wrong her, it's all fair game.  I don't think this is the case with OP.

FWIW, I don't know how helpful it is to tell someone, "hey, x has it way worse, so you can't feel angry/vindictive/etc."  Maybe as an outside observer we can objectively think that, but I personally have not found it a helpful exercise in my own healing.  I do, however, find it helpful to wish harm on my childhood abuser.  :)[/quote]
