You don't have to strike up a relationship with him - certainly not!
Confront him with all that he has put you through, and end the statement with 'I forgive you' - then walk away if you want to.
What is important here is that once you have done that, you will free yourself from being his 'victim', because that is basically what you have become. You empower him with your hatred. You make him a winner. Stand tall hun and throw it all in his face. Prove to him that he has absolutely no hold over you anymore. Show him how insignificant he is in your life. By saying I forgive you, I HAVE to start a relationship with him which is what I don't want at all. I want him out of my life, he IS out of my life. I like the way things are. I'm not depressed anymore, I don't cry anymore, he doesn't exist to me. When I was much younger, I was all gothic, I hid my emotions behind make up, actually, few months ago, I was still an all blacker. I have learned to put things behind me. My dad IS behind me. I am free. I won't forgive him, that'll be too easy. |

diddy4: you better do it for yourself. it aint worth. if u think he has a value, then keep on carrying the hatred but if u think he is worthless, just let it go. your hatred for him will make you miss many opportunities life has to offer. he iant worth holding you down. do it for yourself and for your family since u love them so much. try and proof to him that without him, you guys can still survive and be strong. I have let it go. If he dies today, I wouldn't give a rat's a*s. He can do whatever he wants with his life as long as I'm not a part of it. I hardly think of him though. BUT I would never say 'I forgive you', that's impossible. |

I feel your words, honestly I do.
The thing about forgiveness is that it's not something we always do for the benefit of the other person, but sometimes for ourselves. You are carrying the pain of a situation that is not your fault. Forgiveness allows you to let go of that pain, and give it back to the one who created it.
I have issues with my biological father, and my step father. These issues haunted me and tormented me on a daily basis, for many years, until I learned what a gift forgiveness is.
Telling someone that you forgive them does not mean that you condone what they did to you. Neither does it mean that you will allow them to repeat the offence.
Forgiveness is a survival technique - do it for yourself. That's the problem, I can't. I can't forgive him, I just can't. He's hurt my family too much. Because of the whole situation, I don't want to get married, he's ruined my life. I will never forgive him. |

diddy4: i wonder why God forgives you since he knows you will sin again.
forgive the old man if his pleading is sincere. no need hating him too much. you should know when he means what he says and when he is just saying it for saying sake. My situation is different. I'm actually living in my dad's house right now. Look, I accepted my dad back (I didn't forgive him or expect too much), a week after we met, he told me that he regretted having me around. For a year, he left without letting us know. He was with his girlfriend. He came back but this time he was taking weed so his attitude became worse. He's now living in NY with his girlfriend. I haven't talked to him in months now. What should I do? Say 'oh daddy, I forgive you, I'll accept you back again even though you're going to abandon me'? My dad even said it: 'you're not my daughter'. Seriously, he's cut off from the whole family. I'm not going to waste my time wanting him, I know it's never going to happen, I have to deal with it which I've already done. I don't care if he dies, seriously, I do not give a sh*t. To me, he's already dead. |

diddy4: i think she meant u are not the only one that has gone through such situation, she has also experienced it and that didnt stop her from talking to her dad. Thanks. Anyways, every situation is different but in my opinion, you should never allow a dad who abandonned you back into your life. He might abandon you again. |

You guys have NO IDEA about the situation. You're all talking bla bla, until you've lived without a father because he abandonned you, you'll know what to do.
This 'forgive' thing is crap. |
