The thirteenth of 15 criticisms that I so characteristically see on-line about forgiveness is this: Forgiving is a sign of disrespecting the offending person because it does not give that person the chance to repent and change behavior.

You can forgive and then support the person in repenting and changing behavior.  There is no rule of human behavior that states that a person cannot repent once you initiate forgiveness toward that person.
