Question about forgiveness
Replies

I don't think anyone has a right to be forgiven just because they're related (or any other reason for that matter). I've chosen to forgive some awful things my dad did but I sure didn't trust him. And it wasn't because it was his "right" but because I needed to be free of it.0

Forgiveness isn't about letting the other person off the hook; it's for letting you be able to continue on with your life without holding in anger and resentment. Having said that - it's something you must feel, not something you can force yourself to do and speaking from experience, it takes a lot of work.
Good luck to you.0 -
Forgiveness is a very personal thing for everybody. I can forgive somebody but it doesn't mean I have to have a relationship with them or have them involved in my life. I have learned to forgive my mother for things she's done to me in my childhood. But, she is NOT the type of grandmother I want involved with my children. I forgive and move on.0
