Her stepson punched his father so hard he had to get extensive surgery. Is she obligated to forgive him?

My husband and I have been married for 14 years . We are very happy. We each have two adult children.

Tony reached out by phone in the following days, but did not speak to his father. He has since emailed and sent handwritten letters to both of us. Although there has always been tension between the two, his father is making noises about forgiveness. You don’t say what remorse Tony has expressed in his contact, but you will have to determine whether he has acknowledged his actions, sincerely asked for forgiveness, and started the process of making amends. If not, he might not be ready — and you might not be ready.
