Can I get in trouble for sending an old boss an email with a veiled threat?

This is psychologically unhealthy. Let it go.

You are hurting yourself.

and a lot of different smoking guns have come about over the years suggesting I am a good person and she is not

Yeah, you're totally a good person.

As to your question. It really depends on what you are threatening her with? And are you demanding anything?

If you are threatening to murder her, then yes. Threatening to release damning information unless she does X, yes again, because that's extortion. Threatening to release damning information, but making no demands just having it hang over her head? Then no, that would be fine.

Again, congratulations on being a great person.

I recommend you go for it. With your attitude and outlook on life you're destined not to be a respected professional for much longer. Why not bring about your own destruction more quickly to spare yourself the slow downward spiral that's sure to be ahead of you?

Write it out, read it several times, then destroy it. Don't become the thing you hate.

You guys don't understand the severity of her actions. She attempted to ruin my career and reputation and tried to convince people I was literally insane. This was happening during a time in my life that was pretty difficult independent of this stuff, and the combination of everything caused me to almost commit suicide because of how crazy it all was. She is a genuinely awful human being who should not even be alive. I would never do anything like this to 99% of people out there.

The veiled threat would refer to karma more or less taking care of her and informing her that all the people involved in the stuff from a few years ago are now aware of the truth (which they are).

Doesn't sound like you are any different from her if you do it

After reading your initial post, I am now assuming your Burger King location is outselling hers?

So someone who kills a serial killer (and no other person) is no better than the serial killer?

If she was telling people things that were not true, you need to get those testimony's and file a defamation suit. You've already made the mistake of saying that "she should not be alive". I would stop there, and proceed from a legal standpoint, if it bothers you that much.

You need to sit down and contemplate how to forgive your old boss. The way she treated you is her problem. The way you dwell on it makes it your problem. Sit down and figure out how to forgive her for her ... whatever. Then move on. It is her problem and not yours.

Have you considered the possibility that she was right?

So much this.

Secret Assassin - you seem to have an issue with this. Let it go or you're just proving that she was right.

PS - why do you hate women?

The best revenge is living well.

No. There is no way there could ever be consequences to making threats.

More on this: while the other person may have been terrible, OP is ready to restart a toxic relationship with this terrible person with an email.

OP, you have some work to do.

You must first establish that your threat is not a real threat just a veiled threat. To best do that just cc The FBI Cyber Division to cover your butt. Use the title--- Attn: Veiled Threat Registration Department .

Also - When did you stop beating your wife?

In the arena of psychological warfare, she is Trump (winning) to your Hillary. Your whining about being the better person based on evidence is equivalent to claiming you won the popular vote (loser). You are left with thoughts dwelling on her (again, loser). She doesn't think twice about you (Winning again).

For you to be a winner, you need to let it go. Every time you think on how she screwed you, you lose. Every day you don't, you win.

If Jesus forgave the people while they were in the process of nailing him to a cross, I think you can somehow find a way to let this go.
