Forgiving him does not mean you have to become best friends overnight; it does not mean you are making yourself vulnerable.
Just think of forgiving him as doing it for yourself. You will feel a lot better when you let go of the hate you hold for him. Doesn't mean you have to like him or talk to him at all.
What do you think your parents should have done with him? Stopped loving him? People make mistakes and chances are he feels bad about what happened when yall were younger. In any case, you will be doing yourself a favor by giving up the hatred. You're only harming yourself by holding on to it. Deep down you may want to hold on to it and get back at him; make him feel what you felt, but that will accomplish nothing. You are only harming yourself by holding onto those feelings.
