I struggle with that. I always forgive in my heart so that I have peace but too many times I have given forgiveness when asked but the other person acts like "Cool, my transgression is erased!" And I think "No, you are supposed to learn and grow from this."
It's a difficult thing,but easier for me as I live in a conservative Christian state. I never saw or expiriance myself any of the craziness. I did have to go thru some bs at work but the bosses knew it was stupid and I kept my job.
If they apologize and ask for forgiveness, I will forgive,as the Bible says.
