Dear Melissa:

It is natural to want to hurt back someone who hurt us, seeking justice, or “karma.”

In the movie Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood, a man cut the face of a prostitute he was with. Clint Eastwood and two other men were hired to kill that man (and two others). One of the three hired killed that man but was feeling really badly for killing a man. To comfort himself he said: “Well, he sure had it coming.” And Clint Eastwood said: “We all have it coming, kid”

Suffering and death… we all have it coming. Fear and distress… we all have it coming. He will suffer … and so will you.

And so you are suffering over the hurt he caused you.

Take care of yourself and try to let go, if you can, of your thoughts about him, he has it coming, like everyone else.
