I saw my ex partner today for the first time in 2 years. He was a prolific cheater and constant liar during our time together and I had to walk away from the relationship. There was never any closure. He was with his new partner and her 2 children, they looked quite content playing happy little families. My anxiety went through the roof and it took me straight back to day 1 when everything broke down. I feel so hurt by what he did and have stayed single to get past the trauma and intense feeling of deceit and humiliation. Yet here he was in another relationship without a care in the world and I felt so angry and hurt, I literally just stood there and stared, though he didn’t see me. I don’t want this feeling anymore, I deserve to be happy but I just can’t move past the heartbreak he caused me with no remorse whatsoever. What more can I do?

Honey, she's going to be the new you - if she isn't already. If he did it to you, he'll do it to her. Your payback will be when she leaves him for the same reasons and you won't even have to lift a finger. Your payback will be future contentment as you gradually heal, while he continues to fall.
You'll look back and grateful you're at peace.
