Forgiveness

I'll welcome replies from all religions.
I'm desperate to forgive three people specifically all of whom have done me irreperable harm from childhood onwards.
I'm exhausted with hating them and want to let it go for the sake of my own sanity so I can move on with my life and feel lighter.
But not one of them are in the least bit sorry for wrecking my life, have gone on to live happy lives of there own as far as I'm aware and when it's been mentioned in the past have been sarcastic and unrepentant and say I should "get over myself"
It's difficult to get over having a lifelong serious mental illness because of the abuse and neglect when I have to take medication every day of my life to feel even mildly normal .
But i'm feeling spiritually this is oppressing me 100 times more than it is oppressing them and I really just want to let go and be the better person. But then again there is a darker side that just wants them all dead.
Where do I even start?

Forgiveness is a funny old business. Are we really forgiving the person or are we forgiving what they have done?

I've done plenty forgiving but there is something I will never forgive, I have a really good relationship with that person but I will never forgive what they done.
