Sometimes Justice Does Prevail
Today is my ex-stepfather’s birthday and he is spending it in prison, with very little hope of ever getting out alive. He has Hepatitis C – a direct result of sharing needles to shoot dope.
I feel no sympathy towards him at all. I think karma finally came around and he is getting exactly what he deserves… a slow painful death locked away from the rest of the world.
I recently found out that his appeal was denied, in part because of a letter I wrote a few years ago to the family of the man Larry killed while driving drunk. The man, Tim Avera’s, wife and sister brought the letter to the attention of courts. I told them exactly what kind of man Larry is, as well as many of the horrendous things he has done and gotten away with, and I expressed my sympathy for them.
Larry was sentenced to two 45-year sentences to run consecutively instead of concurrently which means he was sentenced to 90 years. His appeals are dead so the only hope he has is a time reduction due to his terminal illness.
I hope he is raped at least once so he understands how it feels and then maybe he will have some remorse for doing it to me. Most of my childhood was a living hell because of him. He is one of the two people in the world that I truly and completely hate. His stepbrother, Pete, is the other one. I’m eager for karma to bite Pete in the ass too.
Maybe now that Larry is paying for his misdeeds I can try to forgive him. It won’t happen overnight, I know that because I still feel so much hatred and bitterness toward him. However, I’m tired of carrying it around with me and it’s time to start letting it go.

I personally cannot see how he can be "forgiven". What he did was unforgivable, and what he carried out doing remained so – killing someone through DUI for instance. And more to the point, has he ever repented? has he even really, properly apologised? He doesn't sound to me like someone who wants to be forgiven…
Probably the best way forward for you is to not let him and what happened affect your life and look forward.
