Would you forgive someone who molested you?

My boyfriend was molested by his own sister when he was 9 and she was 15 (she admits it) but he has not only forgiven her, he says she's his best friend and that he loves her. He literally holds no malice at all towards her and blames an uncle who molested her and says she was ill when she did it.

    Your boyfriend is to be commended on his attitude toward his sister. He has fully come to terms with the event and has justified the causal forces at work when it happened. You should be very proud of him and not attempt to stir up hard feelings between him and his sister. There is little of anything positive that can come out of you attempting to resurrect the incident.

    Molestation happens more than we all know. It's a tough subject and a big deal that he even told you about it, he must trust you big time. Try to be sensitive to both of them, because that's something that can really mess with a persons head and must be treated with care. Be happy for them theat they overcame such a terrible thing.

    No I would never forgive someone for that. But other people like your brother thing differently.

    it depends if the person has changed at all, if they're the same messed up weirdo, then no. if they'

    ve changed and are good people now then yes.
