So actually, it goes back to what you were talking about - trust. You can forgive, but the trust factor must be rebuilt. That takes time and willingness on the part of the offended. Going further, you can be totally willing, but you must be wise to not be deceived. It just takes some pain and some time.
I'm sure you have to take that on an individual basis.
I remember my older sister used to lie so much during her High School years. I can't remember much about that now, but I remember that you couldn't believe her and it took years for anyone to trust her again.

Yes, just like HO explained about her father. His words are empty to her and there's no trust, so to every find any forgiveness or trust with him he will have to keep his word a few times to get her attention.
There's a lot of different paths we're taking in this thread, but it's really been enjoyable to me.
