one of them rememberred and the other did not, and it was serious, how would you forgive or share the rest of your thoughts so as to bring closure to your forgiveness each of their sins against you?

If two different people offended you in the same way, then i think you must first see if the problem doesnt lie by you

I have had this in my life. I have been raped and one of the people who did it, does not remember. I don't care, because I know I did no wrong and the fault was theirs. This in a non-issue for me. I forgive, it may take a month or so, but it was not my sin, it was just my body.
If these people need MY forgiveness, then they really don't. But if they wanted to hear it, I would say it. I hold no grudges. It is God's place to forgive them. I am only using a rented vessel. They violated what was not mine.
If the question is how to forgive, then look to God for peace.

You cannot help what others choose to do. You can only do what you feel is right. You must choose to forgive and just leave it alone. Sometimes when we have a hard time forgiving, we should just think that God forgives all of us no matter what our sins. And nobody is greater than God. Therefore, we should forgive each other as well.

First of all, it is your own choice whether or not you are offended. If you do choose to be offended, Christ said to forgive endlessly. He said to forgive 70 times 7, and if you are counting until you get to 490, you have not truly forgiven those who have sinned against you. Regardless of what they do, be like the Christ, who atoned for all of our sins.

i've been hurt the same way by so many people in my family. I can't really say anything bad to them because i need their support sometime in my life. I come from a very very unsupportive family but i need to keep whatever ounce of them I still have.
I find that if I don't really respond to their taunts, they cease to treat me badly in that specific way. However, on my part, I try to conduct myself in the best way so that eventually they become my friend. Then I find it easier to tell them how I felt and we laugh about it but the most important thing is that the other person feels bad and is determined to be a better person. I've also had family members that never turned good. i just keep my distance from them and try my best to avoid them. They may be bad to me, but I won't sink down to their level. A fight is exactly what they want.

I don't need to share my thoughts to achieve forgiveness, I just need to forgive. Why would I want to carry the burden of remembering and holding onto such an event?

Anger only hurts you. Best to let it go.
