I can forgive, but don't always forget. I try not to hold grudges, but sometimes (depending on how deep the wound is) it takes a long time to forgive. My mom hurt me and my family and it took me years to forgive her, I've never forgotten it though and I know our relationship will never be the same.
There is one family (yes a whole family) that said some very hurtful things to both Justin and me. Not one of them has asked for forgiveness (and they know it's hurtful because Justin's mom said something to them about it), yet every time we see them they continue to say those things. I have not forgiven them yet. We try to avoid seeing them.
