I don't know if I'd wish anyone well or assume such nice things like maybe they are going to therapy, if they had done enough terrible things.
In such a case my goal would only be, not be bitter and angry about the rest of the world. But stay angry about the terrible, immoral things committed, to keep up boundaries about such things in future. I don't mean the anger would have to be expressed (or if expressed it would have to be controlled enough), it's simply my own feeling inside, to protect me.
But that's me. Maybe you deal with these things differently. I agree, don't become bitter/angry about the whole world just because of him. To me, that's enough of a high road. Some people never get over their negativity from such experiences and will project them into other situations and people instead.

This has been such a long time coming and such a long process that I am pretty much over the bitterness I used to feel. I am not really angry anymore and I am not really bitter anymore. It is what it is and it's now over. I can finally move on in my life and can make it far better for myself now. That's something to celebrate.
