would you forgive someone who doesn't ask for forgiveness?

My youngest brother whom I loved and treated as my own son did a lot of things that made me swear not to even recognize him as a relative anymore. My mom thinks I've already forgiven him but I can't for he does not even admits to himself what he did. How could anyone forgive someone who doesn't even asks for it in the first place?

hi,mamalev, in my opinion, maybe you can observe what's he do actually. there is someone who realises his mistake but doesn't ask for forgivenness .if that you can forgiveness him,maybe he is too shy to ask for forgiveness.

Hi lingzi. It's hard to tell really if he does realize his own mistake especially because he's in the US and I'm here in the Philippines. He did went on vacation and stayed with his wife i never saw him and he didn't make an effort of going to our house. What's more, he went to our sister and said some ridiculous things to rationalize his actions. He said he hates me, but he doesn't have the guts to say it in my face. Oh well, no matter how good your upbringing is, when your have evilness in you it will still show.
