Should you keep forgiving someone who says sorry all the time?

Question

My father is abusive physically and emotionally. After a beating he would always ask for forgiveness and i would but he keeps apologising everytime he is abusive to me, my son and my brothers.

Answer 1

just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you cant be mad or angry at them!

Answer 2

Sorry only means something if the person saying it at least tries to make amends for there misgivings,my father was verbally abusive to me when i was younger,it ended up with me being the aggressor when i hit him in the mouth.You need to get away from him,i know he's your father but you say he's abusive toward your son,there is no way i could handle that.ultimately the decision lies with you but i suggest you talk to someone who can help solve this problem.sorry i can't be more help,i hope things turn out okay for you,all the best.Matt B.
