I paid 30 years penance for the sins of my STBX’s psycho mother. I don’t recommend it. I have wished so often that I could travel back in time and kick some asses. But I am here in present time, paying penance... I had many times made plans to go and literally piss on his grave. But that wouldn't have absolved me from my penance for his sins. So in the end there was no point.

shamwow you repeated something in this thread that really stuck with me the first time you mentioned it when you learned of my situation: “Is it fair to ask you to pay the penance for someone else’s sins?” That was such a good point and I revisited that thought many times over the past year as I was trying to decide what to do. I am a very compassionate person and for years that compassion for my H won out. But at some point I had to decide that even though YES, what happened to my H was awful and unfair to him, that does not mean that I don’t still have to right to save my own self from the effects of it. I paid 30 years penance for the sins of my STBX’s psycho mother. I don’t recommend it. Yes, definitely not an acquired taste.
