"Forgive and forget" is not only unrealistic, it's not even Biblical. When God says that he remembers our sin no more, he's' not talking about amnesia. He's saying that he won't dwell on them, bring them up or use them against against you. Same with us. Forgiveness is not saying that you won't be able to to recall hurtful memories. Forgiveness is a decision about what to do when the hurtful memories pop into your head.
