[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have empathy for the man who murdered my daughter but I work every day on trying to forgive him.  He is in prison and will be for the rest of his life.  I do have empathy for his parents.  Yes, I think they could have done a better job with him -- maybe seen the warning signs more clearly -- but I know they are suffering.

So, I will go against the grain here, OP, and tell you to try to have empathy for this woman.  She has issues and problems that you don't know about and has been hurt by the same troubled man who hurt you years ago.   [/quote]

I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your daughter.  I can't blame you for never forgiving the man that took her life.  I don't think that you should blame his family for his actions though.  [b]If you had no idea this could happen, they almost certainly didn't either.[/b]  I can totally understand how you would not be able to be near the people who raised the killer of your own child though.  Again, I am so sorry for your terrible loss.

But the OW in Op's situation was an active accomplice in cheating with Op's (now ex) husband.  This woman played a very direct role in hurting Op so seeing this woman now being cheated on by that very same man is a bit of poetic justice.  That woman walked right into that....I don't think Op is wrong for feeling little sympathy for her.[/quote]

Just to clarify, my daughter was murdered by a complete stranger.  Thank you for your condolences.  [/quote]
