Hi justafriend,
I've had some of the same experiences, and also have a perp who has gone on to have all kinds of prestige in his career. However I can tell from afar that he's not doing well mentally.
Still, I know first hand what it feels like to watch people who harmed you appear to have great lives when you have lost so much because of them.
That being said, you don't share what this man did to you, but I suggest you don't automatically assume his life is
successful because it appears to be that way professionally. You never can tell what people are experiencing in their lives if you aren't close to them. It is possible for people who are emotional wrecks to keep their professional lives together, cleverly hiding how messed up they are behind a façade that can eventually crack. If this man has a history of abusing people, that's a sign that he may be one of these clever fakers. (My perp definitely was.)
