Either you don't understand what forgiveness is, or you have forgotten.
You do not forgive for the other person. You forgive for yourself. It is letting go of those things so that you can move on with your life, and stop poisoning yourself and your life with the negative emotions and responses.
Most people erroneously believe that forgiving means "dropping the charges" and allowing someone to get away with something in the past and do it to you again. That's why people resist forgiveness. But that's not forgiveness at all. It's stupid.
Forgiveness is letting go of the past, because you cannot change it. What is, is, and what has been is also. But getting stuck on it hen you cannot change it is only wasting your energy, focusing you into negativity and poisoning you as a result. It doesn't hurt them; it hurts you and holds you back and wastes your time.
Forgiveness is allowing yourself to let go of holding on to those things, generating that poisonous negativity and focusing on things you cannot change instead of making changes in the now that you can make. It does not mean "forget and allow it to happen again", it means learn what you can, let it go and then live your life.
