Queen of Chaos.
I agree that we should always strive to forgive. Failure to do so only give those who hurt you space in your head, rent free. Forgetting is another matter all together. Sometimes it's just too traumatic to forget. I was physically, sexually and emotion abused by my step-father for 15 1/2 years. My mother not only knew about it, she participated in it. I have forgiven them both but I will never be able to forget. Other times forgetting would only lead to you get used, hurt, scammed, etc again. Bottom line is that forgiveness is essential for our mental health.
