A lot of times when we're mistreated in relationships our friends/family will comfort us by saying "They'll get theirs." But has anyone really seen this be the case with someone who has cheated, lied, BSed their way through their relationship? If that person's no longer in your life, you don't exactly get a front row seat to witness karma paying them a visit. So, how do you know that karma shows up?
I have seen it happen but usually not as quick as I might like it. The truth is you really don't get any pleasure of seeing someone else hurt, but maybe some satisfaction that the person might now understand what they have done to others doesn't feel so good when it happens to you.
IMO the best thing is to go on and live your life and find happiness.
Some people really don't need your help and will do themselves in all by themselves eventually. And Yes, I have seen it many times, it may take years but it does happen.

Something I wasn't proud of but here is one example of getting back.
During my senior year of HS, my grandmother on mom's side died and a week after her funeral, my father called my mother (they were divorced since I was 2) and gave her some over something stupid even after knowing of the funeral and situation. That made me mad so I ignored him the rest of the year and didnt even invite him to my HS graduation. That really p*#@ed him off, I'd like to think I got even.
He got "got back" because I made it happen. Now I'm not proud of it that he is gone but I can't say I would have done things differently with what I knew at that time.
Even if they have lied, cheated, BS'd through their whole life without retaliation, I still think they "got theirs". You know why? They lived a lie. They have never truly loved, and thus they have missed out on one of the best things in life.
To me, an unfulfilled life is the ultimate revenge.
I saw it happen with a friend. It was a work situation. My friend, female, was lied to about promotion and younger female promoted. Younger woman did not do job, skipped out of work, scheduled my friend for worst shifts and one stretch was 18 days with no days off.
Friend finally gets transfer. Regional manager comes for audit. The young woman manager had been stealing, along with credit card fraud and is now going to trial, and ultimately jail.

It will catch up with them sooner or later. Karma is not like a lightning bolt out of a blue, it is a consequence of them being unkind to others.
It's not healthy to sit around wishing revenge on them. The real victory comes when you forgive and forget.
