I’m not angry. My father ignored me as a child, so I don’t have to forgive him, right?
To start or continue forgiving, you do not need to be angry. For instance, are you feeling sad or disappointed? Do you believe that you and your father can now have a sincere, trustworthy relationship? If you do not think that a genuine reconciliation is possible between your father and you, then forgiveness would be justified in this circumstance. To put it another way, forgiveness is not solely motivated by feelings of anger. Forgiveness might be suitable if you believe that you have been treated unfairly and that this is interfering with your connection with your father.
