A minute of thoughts is worth more than a hour of talk. Men and Automobiles are much alike. Some are right at home on an uphill pull; other run smoothly only going down-grade, and when you here one knocking all the time, it's a sure sign there is something wrong under the hood, Say to your self, I can alter my life by altering my attitude of mind., The door of the human heart can only be open from the inside, You will have to prove to your family that you have change you way of life, stay away from them for a while, they will come around some day, but remember you must try to do something with your life worth something

Not involving yourself in those activities or anything close to them for a long period of time is one way. It's all going to take a certain amount of time for family to forgive an awful past but at the end of the day they are still your family and whether they are happy or not about the road you took that fact is never going to change and in due time they will finally put to rest the past and continue on anew.

You really can't, only time can heal a wound! Sadly their sometimes isn't enough time. You just have to keep you head high and tell your self that you are above what ever brought you down, And this situation is no longer your problem if you have changed your ways then you are doing the right thing regardless of what you family thinks. Some times family's think they are helping by showing tough love but in reality some of us just need a big hug and kiss from our family. To know that every thing will be OK. Time heals so chin up and keep on truckin.
Love ya!

It will take time. First of all you need to have made a change to the better. Don't push the need to be forgiven. The best method to gain forgiveness is to show that you have changed. Your actions will speak louder than your words about your changes. After you have demonstrated that you are a better person someone in your family will comment to you about it. When they do comment, that's your cue to ask for their forgiveness. Tell them that you made mistakes and feel awful about the pain and hurt that you caused them. If they have witnessed your change and hear it from your heart, they will forgive you. The best news is that God will forgive you now. Good Luck

Forgive yourself and remember that the past is in the past. That part of your life is over. Try not to let it drag you down. Get on with being a productive person...job, better group of friends...etc. You said it yourself when you used the word "past". That was then. It was a learning experience. Now move ahead with a wonderful life. Keep working at it and it will come to you. Your family will realize the changes you have made and be proud of you. Have faith in yourself.

Well, if you're still doing those things that got you in prison in the first place, it's hard to forgive. If you've really turned over a new leaf, you will have to earn their respect. Assuming you're not in jail now, get yourself a decent job and show everyone that you've changed. Sit them down and talk to them and tell them how much you want to go straight. Time will tell.

Sit your family down and have a real heart to heart with them. Explain to them why you feel so terrible about how you acted in the past and ask for their forgiveness. If you have changed and they can see the changes they should forget about your past and see how you have changed and be happy for you. If your family truly loves you they will find it in their heart to forgive you for anything you have done. Good luck and never give up.

this is sometimes tough the person who has done the awful deed must first move on to better themselves and feel good about it then wait for the family to come around if they never do at least the person knowns there is life after mistakes.

You must learn to LOVE YOURSELF and Live in the "Here & Now".
Find something GOOD for yourself and LIVE WELL! It will be the BEST WITNESS for your life in the present, and keep the past only as a reminder of what NOT to do.
(This may seem simplistic, but if you want a life, you first would have to LIVE IT. So choose wisely and live!)

You got to apologize, be sincere with it and let you actions speak for itself. Stay away from people you hung out with who also did the same. It will not happen overnight, and if you still get the feeling get professional help.
