Should i forgive my father?

I've had to learn how to deal with a lot growing up. My parents slept in seperate rooms for 11 years. Their relationship went to hell when I was 9 years old. I am now 20 and in my third year of college and I can't help but hate my father. My mother does...

not have very much self confidence, yet she is a beautiful woman. It is his fault. Disturbingly at the age of 12 my mom started to tell me about their personal life. He told her that she was boring in bed etc. She would cry and I would hold her and make her feel better. I stayed with her to make sure that she wasn't lonely. My dad ignored myself and my brother growing up and repeatedly cheated on my mother with several women. He would come home at 2-3am in the morning and most of the time left before six a.m. He was gone every weekend. This year my family was sued for 4.2 million dollars, now my father is leaving my mom for his secretary. The had been having an affair since I was 8 years old. Should I forgive him? If so, how?

forgive its hard.. .but its always the best thing...but just because you forgive your father.. doesnt mean you have to look at him like one..know what I mean?

I would say no if he cared at all he would have tried to help instead of hurt...my bro did the same thing to his three year old and I hope he never sees him again caz now he call for his daddy and nobody id there it is bull sh*t say no hunny think of your mom she is deeply hurt inside no matter what she says believe me I know

hope I help isten to this its for the best

youll have to forgive and forget although its very hard.itll be super hard and I can relate to your problem so just try to forgive him.good luck!

Forgive your Dad.It is not wak to forgive,it actually is a very strong mature thing to do.Don''t think that forgiving your Dad means you are letting him get way with something he did wrong to you.Forgiveness is ultimately for YOU not HIM.God will straighten him out,don't you worry about that.Forgive him so YOU can have peace.
My nephew tried to kill me in 2001.I forgave him.I am at peace because I forgave him.
I could have let the anger eat me up for the rest of my life but instead I chose to forgive him and forget what happened.Just let it go.Forgiveness is a gift of peace that you give yourself.

to be honest I really whouldnt be able to forgive him
