Really depends on the transgressions to be considered forgiven. As males, we tend to let the silly stuff go without much thought of bitterness. (at least many of us)
If you are talking about growing up in a violent, hostile environment as a kid, and you are worried about keeping that going to your little ones? Yeah.. you have to let that shit go and be a better person than your mom/dad/grandpappy/etc were. Break that cycle immediately by constantly reminding yourself of how it felt to be that abused kid.... and know that you don't want yours to feel that misery that you once did.
Much really depends on what exactly you are struggling with.
