A priest told this story about a tree and a nail to a person with a habit of saying things out of anger.. He said.. Everytime you get mad go and hammer a nail into a tree.. After awhile that tree is full of nails.. You can regret it later.. You can go out and remove all the nails.. But you can't remove the holes or the damage.  yes there is forgiveness but those hurtful words still leave a scar even if it heals over.    I know that even today I can remember things said to me as a child that hurt.

Anyone can forgive. All it takes is a little willpower and compassion.I think you can just try a little harder...I know it is hard , just give it a little time ... Your friend ...Bif

Just about anyone can be forgiving but its hard to say that you will forget, and not forgetting it will make it hard to say if you truly forgive.

I have had many bad things said to me from someone I had cared for in the past I said that I forgive them but i never forgot what was said so I have held on to those thoughts and it caused me to build a wall .with there being no trust there can be no forgiving or forgetting.

Thanks, and I very agree with you. Truly forgive is near impossible as we cant forget.

Yes, but it will take time the only thing he/she will do is to forgive but not to forget, everytime when they argue the person that have been hurt, he/she will bring it up somewhere, that is why I say forgiving but not to forget it's not that easily you know, I have been there. Maria

Yes part of it will have to be because they want to be healed and then the other part will have to be you asking for forgiveness

If this person is a strong individual they will heal in time. They probably will forgive but not forget.
