Unfortunatly I can't. My husbands father and stepmother did great harm in our family and they caused so many problems that we've never forgiven them. Why? Because his stepmother hates me, and his father is to afraid to stand up to her. I won't get into detail on what happend, but it was so bad that they never spoke to us again, because they knew they did wrong. We will never forgive them, they are never there for us, so there is no need for forgivness. Now if you mean family that is close that we talk to and see often, then yes after some time we can forgive, and they do the same.

I try my best to forgive people for the utter crap that they may do, and I sometimes actually do. Sometimes,however, I forgive them on the outside but on the inside I always remember what they did and it just eats away at me to do somehing to them or to say something to aggravate them lol. I'm an 18 year old guy so that's all part of being friends/family.

It depends!Because anyone,I think,can't do everthing properly!Our world and lives are very very complicated,so we can't avoid making mistakes.We should make us more tolerance though ,as we all know,it's hard to do.However if those people who did wrong with us is really not good,we should be away from them!

When I was in my early 20's it was hard for me to forgive people that I felt did me wrong. I would hold grudges against them for along time.I got in to the group that taught me how to forgive.Your mad because those people are not the way that you want them to be.Its really not them its you.Everybody is different and you have to realize that holding resentments against others is not good.So if you are holding resentments against others just learn to forgive.Remember its not good for you or them.

It's not easy especially if they're close the closer they are to me the harder it gets for me to forgive them Also i tend to forgive but never forget, so when that person do wrong to me for the 2nd time, it is very hard for me to forgive them again But i guess, each person is different

it really just depends on the situation on how they wronged me. i'm not saying that i would never forgive, but depending on the circumstances it might take me longer. and of course, it's always easier to forgive than it is to forget. that is my hardest part...letting go once i've forgiven. God bless
