[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely understand, OP. I am in a similar situation though it is less personal. I struggle most days with it occupying a place in my mind I know it doesn't deserve.

I see clearly now that this person is very damaged but I am still triggered by the fact that so many others don't see it.

Additionally, I have done a few petty and vindictive things towards this person that have brought me some satisfaction. [/quote]

OP here and thank you for the solidarity. Agreed, sometimes I can see how the person who did this was broken by their own trauma, but sometimes even just feeling that empathy for them make me more mad because they didn't have that empathy for me, did they? When they had a chance to take responsibility for what they did, they stomped on me instead.

I once did a petty thing in revenge (signed them up for some annoying junk emails) but it only made me feel worse because, like, it's so small. It doesn't do anything. They'll unsubscribe or not care. It sucks feeling like the only way to feel even would be to do something horrible to them because I don't want to do something horrible to anyone. I hate feeling vengeful because I don't believe in vengeance. But instead I just walk around feeling angry. It's a trap.[/quote]
