Sympathy for OW

I used to hate the OW/NW...

I used to want to in her position...always wondering, "what is it about her that I don't have?"

I used to get so envious when I would look at her FB profile and see pictures of them together...

But all of a sudden, that envy, anger and hate dissolved into sympathy. I don't even remember when my feelings did a complete 180. Time and learning/researching about NPD had a big factor in helping those feelings evolve. I don't even know this woman. Her boyfriend that she believes is "in love" with her cheats on her constantly and will CONTINUE to cheat on her if they ever get married because she will never be enough. No one will EVER be enough. All of us are victims of this vicious predator and whenever you have jealous feelings towards the other woman, remind yourself that you were ONCE in their shoes...what happened to you will happen to them, maybe even worse.

Now, I only feel pity for her. I thank the Lord that I found out what he was and how lucky I am that I got away and am not her.
