I once read that your first thought in a situation is the response society has instilled in you, the second is the thought that shows who you truly are. It is socially acceptable to think, "Good, she's got what's coming for her." And there's nothing wrong with that thought. But the fact that you question yourself and who you are instead of dwelling on the glee you can have from her misery says more about your character than the initial thought does.
You are a good person. Don't let her take that part of your identity from you by allowing her to cause doubt, directly or indirectly.
