Any good Revenge stories out there???

I've been told that the best revenge is living good and NO CONTACT, but I'm sure there are some good stories that has taken place

Oh I know. I thought after the divorce life would go on, but the ex seems to want to cause problems at every turn. I'm finally in a place where I don't care that he's telling everyone that my work hours make me an unstable mother. I know the truth. I have the receipts and the calendar that shows exactly what I do and it's because of my work hours that I have the time to take them to their doctor and dentist appointments and when the school calls it's me that they call.
I just don't care any more what he thinks. I can't convince him that he's wrong minimizing what I do and I'm not going to let it make my life miserable. I'm here for them and I work full time for them.
that's the kind of thing that would eat away at me. it's great that you can get past it.
(by the way i do fantasize that my ex's girlfriend will give him the boot -- i guess that's a bit of revenge)
I personally am trying to avoid seeking revenge and to avoid feelings of victimization in general. If I am trying to "get back at" him, then I am no better than he is, because he has deliberately taken actions to cause me much pain. I actually am trying to have feelings of forgiveness, not for his sake, but for myself, so I can move beyond this pain. I am hoping to one day get to a point of neutrality as regards the ex; where I couldn't care less what he thinks, says or does.
I do get some satisfaction from the knowledge that I have made an excellent life for myself and my children and been able to very adequately support myself without him. Proves his statement that I'll fall apart and be destitute totally wrong.
As much as I agree that depriving the ex of one's new and improved self is the most excellent way to stick it to them, I can't help admitting that the shrimp-in-the-curtains story is great.
