I read where I can forgive in as little as a few hours.  I have been deeply hurt by one of my parents.  Will a few hours do it for me?

I do not recommend that you create the expectation that forgiveness, when you are deeply hurt by others, can be accomplished in a few hours.  As an analogy, suppose you break your leg.  You need time for that to heal, including time for rehabilitation.  Think of deep injustices against you as wounds of the heart.  These take time to heal and forgiveness is a process, that takes time, that can lead to that healing.
