Not sure if forgiveness is the way to go. At least, I think that forgiveness is important but I think there needs to be some understanding and respect from the parent towards their child too. Without that, forgiveness just puts the child in an unnecessarily vulnerable position.
My advice is to try therapy, if you want to get back in touch with your parents at all
Some parents forget to support your goals when it’s not in-line with their goals for you; despite probably having the same childhood.
Always be looking for the opportunity to forgive them if it should appear. Not before, but be ready in case they clue-in.
