Apparently she lived with him as a teen, had a good relationship with his sister, her aunt Mona, graduated from Harvard and has enjoyed a leisurely life as a European based writer, knowing she was accepted as his child

It's not for me to forgive. I am not even talking about her. I am thinking about Jobs lying in court, which is called perjury - a felony. All to avoid child support at a time when he was quite wealthy, thus forcing the mother, for a time at least, to go on public assistance - presumably to keep his public persona spotless. This doesn't trouble you?

No, because we dont know the back story of why he was so hostile to the mother, and because that is history!
Perhaps she refused to marry him and refused to give him access to his child. We don’t know. It wasn’t the child’s fault, but adults do selfish things out of anger.

Ultimately he accepted the girl as his, took her into his family, gave her his name, gave her a home with him, paid for her college education at Harvard, and apparently set her up with a nice trust fund that gives her a life of leisure as a writer living in Europe.

Steve Jobs ultimately set aside his anger and did the right thing by his child (but not his biological father).

We shall have to agree to disagree on the harm he caused in his life, versus the good. Maybe his daughter will write a book.
