So I had a terrible boss for over 10 years at my workplace. I cannot even tell you the crap that went on but, I have been without him for 3 years. But even once I was no longer working for him he found I did something wrong and tried to get me into trouble with my new boss (who laughed at it).

The abuse is and was horrific. He made me doubt myself. He killed my spirit. He had me take precious time from MY loved ones -- because I was so worked up over him. He -- I have to say it -- just about ruined my life. He probably is the reason I am not married as during my prime dating years I was too demoralized, overwelmed, and miserable to date. I HATE him and I look forward to his death.

He also, weirdly, loved his wife. His wife was an evil person as well. When my parents died, no card and she didn't come to the funeral. I was one of my bosses 3 employees so... and I happened to work for her BFF's husband before her's. So she had reason. She was very religious and wrote in magazines about religious subjects. I knew she wasn't doing well and honestly looked forward to her death.

So she croked. And this morning my new boss e-mailed me to tell me. As if I am going to the wake or anything. I responded with a "thank you for letting me know" but there is just no way I am doing anything but celebrating that.

I don't understand why they continue to act as if we are buddies. They know the long history of what was done to me. They know how he tried to get me in trouble with my new boss immediately after I left him... how can they seriously think I am going to do the decent thing. I know he would not even shed a tear at my death. Or injury.

I am also torn a little because I feel guilty. It seems wrong to be so evil and wicked to actively be happy about her death (and his because I suspect he will not last long without her) but, I feel like it is not right to be like that and I worry about Karma.. but then I think..is this his Karma? She died relatively young. 73, and after many years of ill health.

Torn and confused and desperately want to do a happy dance and pray to god that she is currently in hell.
