Absolutely. Forgive everyone for any wrong that they have done to you. This is one of the key features of being forgiven yourself. But remember one thing. Forgiving someone doesn't mean that you are required to place yourself in future harm's way regarding them. For example. Forgive the rapist who raped you, the thief or robber who stole something from you, and the politician who made laws that harmed you. Then see to it that these people are thrown into prison, not as punishment, but so they won't harm you or your family any longer. For your protection. Not for revenge or punishment.
