So originally I had like an essay question
but it was too much.
So I'm gonna be short and to the point.
How do I forgive somebody
who ruined my family,
tried to kill me and my mom,
and made all of our lives HELL
for over 16 years
and doesn't even realize
there was a problem?
TheAnnie answered Saturday January 5 2008, 1:53 am: think of it this way
forgive them and think about this
although they do not get a form of punishment now
he will get his punishment in he11, not to be rude but its true (if you are religious)
it will be hard but when you forgive them you will soon find it benifiting you!
And i really hope everything will be alright, if you have any questions fell fre to ask! Everything will work out in time and the hardship will lessen [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]

The best way to look at it is that by forgiving them, you are the bigger person- you are above their actions.
You don't have to forget in order to forgive. Why? Because it was definitely a huge learning experience in your life. You don't want to forget the lesson.

You can tell yourself and others that you forgive them, but deep down, do you? And would you want to?
I would cut off all communication with that person. I realize that this is very hard to do, but try your best. It's better to not give that person any attention or recognition.
The person didn't realize it was a problem? They didn't realize that murder is a problem?! Well, then I would think that they are immensely flawed. You don't need to associate with potential murderers.
Also, I don't believe that people change. Or, if they do, they only do under extreme circumstances. If the person doesn't realize what they are doing is a problem, then they most likely won't change.
uisforukelele answered Friday January 4 2008, 9:04 pm: you know, i don't really believe in the phrase "forgive and forget"... obviously you can't forgive them. but you can forget them. both are pretty hard things to do, but i find it's better to try to cut off communication to whoever screwed things up and forget about it than to actually forgive them. they're obviously not worth your time.

emibabyxlove answered Friday January 4 2008, 5:58 pm: eek. thats tough. If it was me, I would have such a hard time forgiving them. So deffently only do it if you feel you want to. But if you do, then just start talking to them a little, maybe hang out once or twice. But still keep your guards up and be careful so something doesnt happen again.
