Thank you. At this point in my life I can finally, definitively say the alternative would not have benefited anyone, least of all myself. My belief now is that there is no greater vengeance than claiming for yourself that which your enemy would deprive you of. Those who wish you ill certainly don't want to see you surrounded by peace, happiness, and love.

Though the unfortunate truth is that it can be difficult, or even impossible, to achieve these things while your enemy still exercises their toxic influence over your life. I'm not sure I could have accomplished anything if he hadn't been...removed.
