I'm sorry you've dealed with similiar instances, but that's no excuse to not forgive.
I hate when people use their personal issues as a reason to hate Chris.
My mom was abused by my sister's dad (beat & locked in closets), my dad (beat & stolen from) & I saw my sister beat by a complete stranger 3 MONTHS AGO. I've forgiven all of them, including Chris.

I agree that it makes it harder when you've dealed with it personally, but everyone deserves to be forgiven. He's not a monster, he made a HUGE mistake. Let him move on and try to better himself as a person.

In my opinion, if someone recognizes their wrongs, shows remorse and doesn't continue to do the same thing over and over, they deserve to be forgiven.

Only God can judge.
