I have a certain ex relative that I have apologized to but she will not apologize to me. Also others in my family. There was a time my husband and I were homeless(not due to drugs or alcohol) and certain family members refused to help, while we were trying to help ourselves... I would appreciate any feed back. Thank you

Turn the other cheek and live a fruitful life. Ask God he'll direct you in the right direction.

You apologized and she might never apologize. You just have to deal with the fact. Ask your relatives why they refused to help when you were homeless, maybe they had a reason you are not aware of. If it's not that, then you are very good to forgive them for "leaving you out in the cold" so to speak. Consider yourself the better person and leave it at that.

Resolution has been made. You forgave them. It is not necessary nor important that they do the same. They may not realize that they should apologize to you. Some may not want to do so just for spite! Let not that sin fall on your head. Just as God forgives us, we in turn learn to forgive others.
One thing I do is to continually pray for them. I do not pray that they will one day apologize, but I pray that their hearts will no longer be hardened and that I stay in God's will and hold the forgiveness I gave them without changing and without regret.
Stay strong and know that you have done the right thing. I will pray for you and your family members. We all could use extra prayers to help us get through. God bless you.

You should never expect anyone to ask you for forgiveness. And, by being hung up on it you are allowing that person to control your life. You have done all you can and should not expect anything in return. The fact that you have apologized should give you some comfort.

The thing is, you are EXPECTING an apology. That shows me that you haven't actually forgiven them. People are going to be the way they are. We don't have to accept it. You need to deal with your hurt feelings and since you already apologized, you just need to let it go. All you have to do is accept that they are not going to change and move on. You are making yourself suffer and they don't even care. It's not worth it. Look at it as these horrible things that are happening to you and your husband as something that is ultimately going to make you two stronger because you dealt with it together without anyone else's help.

some people are so set in there ways that they don't know how to ask for forgiveness. If you have already apologized then don't do it again, be the bigger person don't let them know that it bothers you because that gives them satisfaction. others believe that you made the bed so know you have to lie in it.

I lived with my brother and sister-n-law for 2 1/2 years. She took me in and helped me learn to budget. I thanked her alot. She is divorced from my brother and will not talk to me.

#1 forgiveness is for you, not the other person. we cannot make someone say sorry. it would be nice but it won't happen. foregive them for that and get on with your life.
