How do you deal with bitter feelings? [I Need Advice]

I had a ex-friend who did me wrong. I don't want to get into the full story but this person degraded and threatened me. Today I've moved away from this person and no longer speak to them but I see pictures on facebook and hear about them. My past with this ex-friend keeps me up at night. I get angry. I feel bitter and resentful. They seem to be happy and enjoying life. There's a part of me that struggles to see them be okay when they never tried to apologize for what they did to me. How do I let go of this situation? I just want to forget about how I was treated but I have such deep, negative feelings towards them. I've thought about therapy but I don't know.

Dont go therapy. All they'd want is your money .
Write down the situation on paper . You'll find a lot writing when you start and if you write it down it be no longer in your head for awhile and when it pops in again write it down until you have complete forgiveness. Forgiveness helps you and a person said to me a resentment is taken the poison and expecting the other person to die . Resentment are a waste of time .
My x teach me a lot and what she thought was never full trust in another human being for your happiness. That's where the resentment is coming from .
That would lead you into despair and a racing mind and it usually night time the mind gets louder, so my advice is write it down . It's there in black and white then and keep doing it until you have forgiveness and with that then you get wisdom and then dont fall into no more traps
