ferocity by proxy 

A (habitual) condition in which a person is angered vicariously through another's unfavorable situation. Oftentimes, the person with the condition completely absorbs the situation as his/her own.

Don't let James find out that your girlfriend is cheating on you, he suffers from ferocity by proxy. He will kill her!
