But in other places I have read that Kali and Parvati are manifestations of Durga, and in others that Durga and parvati are manifestations of Kali and so on. So, can someone please exlain the relationship these godesses have with each other?

Please look forward to detail authentic explanations from a Shakta or Shaiva here, but here is a view.
-----------------
They are all aspects and forms of Shakti , so all under the Umbrella of Shakti for me.
Shakti = Supreme Lord's energy , potency
DurgA-PArvati(UmA)-KAli are the Sat energy - existential potency of God.
The other two are chit and ananda
Sat = existential energy = DurgA , PArvati et all in various forms and moods as you can see , represent prakrti , creative power.
Chit = knowledge energy = Saraswati (VANI)
Ananda (HlAdini) = bliss energy/aspect = Lakshmi( RamA ) (RAdhA, SitA, Rukmini are Lakshmi )
Not to confuse you, but if this does , I am sorry , please ignore, and wait for the Shakta/Shaiva answers.
