Name one time you didn't forgive someone and wished you had.?

Question

Why didn't you? Was it pride?

blackrose: your story is very sad. But if you'll take a bit of advice. Forgiveness is not something you do for someone else. You do it for yourself so you can get over being hurt. It doesn't mean that you think what they did was okay. And it doesn't mean that it was "no big deal" Forgiveness means that you are willing to "let it go" and act like it never happened. That doesn't mean that you make yourself a doormat to be hurt again. You just stop dwelling on it and move on with life.
And, it's especially important that you forgive your parents. The very thing that you HATE about them, YOU will eventually become if you don't forgive them. Don't believe me? Ask an alcoholic if their parents were alcoholics? Ask the child abuser if they were abused. Chances are they will answer yes, and admit that they have never forgiven them.
Forgiveness is the beginning of healing for yourself, not a pardon for someones bad behavior. Learn the difference now and you'll be much happier!

Answer 1

my mom.....she left me at my grandmom's home alone to build a better carrier.......i missed her a lot...my childhood was ruined.....none of my parents never took me to school-while all of my friends mom-dad used to take them to school holding their hands...at weekends all my cousines used to go for outing with their parents but, i never went...holidays were like course to me.....from the age of 7 i was alone......my loneliness killed me each second.....

i can never forgive my parents for that injustice on me....

now, we all live together...my mom tries all day to come closer to me....i m now 19 years old......but, its no more possible...i have my own world now..i m used to now with my lonliness.......my mom tries a lot to come closer me---then i think, if i could forgive her...

but how can i wipe out my those painful days? my childhood could be more beautiful..i could be like all other kids...but, no...they ruined for their own need....

Answer 2

Some things can never be forgiven. You cannot dwell upon it or it will eat you alive, but we never forget and never truly forgive either.

I have a very close family member who I forced out of my life 16 years ago, and have never regretted it since that day.

It was not pride, it was not hate. It was that fact that this person was ruinous, consumed by hate, and chose to spread pain, hate, and discontent whenever and wherever possible.

I do not regret it. I made my point and made it clearly understood. It was unfortunate, but required. This person has still not changed to this day, but stays clear of me and my family.

Answer 3

if i have never forgiven someone then they didnt deserve to be forgiven so i wouldnt have wished i had.
