15. The only person I have had trouble forgiving is my mother's

second husband, married to my mother after my father had died.

I was long married, with a family, and initially happy for my mother, for she cared for him.
But after 10-12 years, when she started suffering from dementia, he effectively abandoned her.

She tried to phone him, but his daughter always said he was sleeping and he never called or spoke to her again.
He never sent her a Christmas card or contacted her in any way, and even on her dementia, she was hurt.
He died never having spoken to her again, and mother died about five years later.
How do truly forgive such an action?
