I sometimes consider forgiving my father for what happened when I was a child.  Yet, I then conclude that I never would reconcile with him anyway, so why bother to forgive?  What are your thoughts?

It is possible that your conclusion that “I never would reconcile with him anyway” is based on your current resentment and unforgiveness. If you work on forgiving your father, your views of reconciliation might change. Also, even if you do not reconcile, if and when you forgive, you could set yourself free of the resentments you might be carrying from your father’s behavior years ago.
