How do you forgive? Forgiveness is divine. It is a gift we must recieve before we can give it away. Ask God to show you the way. (Maybe your question should have been under "Spiritual").
Forgiveness is not just for your father. It is for you too. It relieves the soul of the burden of hate. Have conversation with this man who is your father. Maybe he has regrets. Maybe he needs your forgiveness all the more if he does not. There is divinity in all of us.
Find time to sit quietly and close your eyes. He made you part of this universe, your father. For that you should be thankful. Let the quiet make all the stuff in your brain stop. Now search for who you are and who you want to be. See the relationship you want when you forgive this man. He has done wrong. Only God has the power to judge. Relenquish what is negative. Reach for the light, and that is how you forgive.

forgiveness is a term to which we like to use, which makes us think that if we forgive someone for doing something wrong, to us, then we are doing the right thing. However, the hurt of the pain is still there.
after you have forgiven the person, you will always remember that the person did something wrong. But, you should not judge that person, because you said you forgive them for their wrong.
Why would you want to forgive someone. Its not going to put you any closer to God, but it feels good to think that it would. So, in saying, you can forgive if its going to make you feel any better, but the reason for your father leaving, is totally up to him to tell you and if you choose to believe what he says, then go with that and keep in mind, that some kids out there has never seen or don't even know there father or mother, be glad yours came back.
