Parents(45F,53M) constantly berate me(19M) for having curly hair and dark skin, it has wrecked my self esteem to shreds and they just don't stop even after I have requested them countless times.

My dad's wife has bipolar. I'm the result of an affair. She abused me, several times and he enabled her. I told him this and I told him the condition of us staying in contact is that she not talk to her about me. He would keep telling me things she said about my pictures. He said I should forgive her because she has bipolar and can't help it.

The will never learn. I told him to stop or I would have to remove him again. He told me to go ahead and do it. That's the last time I'll ever speak with him

If his parents can't even realize what they're doing wrong, there's no reason to forgive them, it will only hurt OP. You can't set yourself on fire to keep them warm.
