Like, if you were charged by police for stealing or for a crime you did not commit and your parents don't believe you and ground you for a long time until they found out what really happened and they apologised to you, but you said you will never forgive them, then what happens?!

They will never be forgiven by you. It is just that what could have been done by you while you were grounded was not and when you are able to do things, what you do will be clouded by the decision to ground you in the first place. And maybe there was a purpose for holding you back which may have been unknown but if you do nothing while you are grounded, like further your education or look further into the situation, then you may never know.

You'll forgive them. There your parents and they won't always be there. My mother choose a man over her children & sent us into the system had me looked up for 3 years and I "hated" her! I have a strong relationship with her now, & ill always forgive! You never know what will happen tomorrow or when they leave the house and wouldn't wanna live with that. Looking back I regret all the hell I put my mother thru! Life isn't always how you want it, but mother knows best! Keep your head up & love your mommy!

Well, first of all...forgiveness is a decision. Not a feeling. It does not mean forgetting. It isn't even a pardon. It merely means not allowing the anger/bitterness/hate/resentment to dominate you. It's a gift you give yourself, not the ones who wronged you. True, it won't change the past, but neither will continuing to harbor negative energy about it. It's like drinking poison and wishing they would die. It's up to you, friend. You can continue to harbor this negative energy until it destroys you completely. Or you can give yourself permission to release yourself from this poison.

Nothing happens to/with them,you carry an avoidable emotional baggage,which is dangerous to you only.
They have asked apology-must have realised their mistake,you MUST forgive and ask them to trust you in future.
I see they hurted you but you also might have done some hurt,which they overlooked.
Forgiveness settles the karmic account.

Raise children of your own and see how many times you screw up! At least they apologized! What more can they do?
