Best description of Christianity

I have an interesting take on the whole forgiveness thing. My parents have been complete fucks to me my whole life. And they continue to be. I have told them this and they don't care, they continue. One of the mental health professionals I saw said I should forgive them. That's a weird concept. How can you forgive someone for something they are still doing to you and don't feel sorry about or even acknowledge is wrong? All I can do is let go of the anger of what they have done in the past, and minimize the effect of their actions on me now. I suppose in a sense I forgive the past. But as people, it makes no sense to forgive them. I've dealt with the anger well though, it's way more under control.

I know what you're thinking, kick them out of your life. I would do, except I'm financially dependent on them to be able to rent somewhere to live as my benefits don't nearly cover it. So I have to put up with them because the alternative would be being homeless. And not just for me but my wife and pets. Luckily I live so far away from them now there is no danger of them "popping in". I don't intend to ever see them again.

Anyhow, so my parents are dicks. My father has only ever apologized once in his whole life to me, and that was for something entirely inconsequential.
