Can bad behavior due being a victim of physical and emotional abuse be forgiven?

Forgiven but maybe not forgotten. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean you allow them to keep hurting you.


There is things that are best to forget. But not major stuff like physical or sexual abuse. It takes time and a lot of prayer.

Depends on the bad behavior, I wouldn't forgive someone that cheated even if they had a troubled past for example so I'd say it depends

Yes they can be forgiven, but it doesn't mean that they have to be part of your life again.

Forgiving doesn't mean allowing yourself to be victimized again.

No. Everyone has a choice on how they will behave. Nothing excuses being an asshole.

I just feel too irritable to be calm all the time.

Anything can be forgiven if the person feels remorse and makes a real effort to change.
