Another hard forgive is damage done to a child, when we are now adults. When abuse fundamentally changes who you are, how you live, all your perceptions - it's hard to get past.

Also, when someone abuses your own child...I'm not sure how people get past that. I choose not to waste my time with grudges or negative emotions...the person just becomes dead to me and they take up no space in my mind or heart.
The ability to forgive is not as easy thing, particularly for the more horrific acts such as rape and murder. To the extent you can do it, you make your life more positive though. Carrying around hate and resentment and a desire for revenge is not the most productive use of your time and energy, in the end what good does it do you? As hard as it is, I believe you're better off if you can let it go; let go of the pain and anger you feel. It ain't gonna happen all at once, depending on the seriousness of the transgression it may never go away entirely. But I think it's worth trying on a regular basis to let go of the anger, resentment, hate, just focus on letting it all go out of your mind and body. You don't have to believe in God, just send it all to infinity like a laser beam. Wear it down, like water wearing down a rock.
And BTW, forgive yourself for your own transgressions against others too.
See, for me, they don't have to ask.well i dont forgive for the same reason....my well being.....plus they havent ask for forgiveness either
Right. Some are limited, so when I realize hoping for some insight from them is nothing but a pipe dream, I ask myself why I give them the luxury of being in my head rent-free.I don't think people can ask forgiveness when their sense of self-preservation rests in/on denial that they did any damage.
Ah, I forgot about that. Yes, that is very much a challenge for me, too.The person that I find hardest to forgive is myself.
I can forgive everyone else, but I find it difficult to forgive myself when I do something that I know is wrong.

So, I suppose my answer is yes, there is one person...me. Sometimes I get there, sometimes I don't.
I definitely need more practice.

Make a habit out of it. Dealing with our own mistakes is sometimes the hardest thing to do. You'll feel better about yourself, and end up a more positive person.
