AITA for still holding a grudge for not being allowed on a dream tour?
At the time I 20 (m) had this dream to travel outside the US, this is gonna be long but I’m going to give as many important details as I can. I was in high school at the time and told a teacher’s aid about my dream (there’s more to it than that but that’s basically what happened) anyway that aid recommended me for a group called People to People without my knowledge, basically they’re a group that organize trips that are study groups for various historical events (this is only partially relevant) but a week later I got a letter from the group saying I’d been selected for a trip across Europe studying WW2 I was ecstatic, this was a dream come true for me, but the next day I came home to learn that my parents wanted to send my older brother on this trip in my stead. I. WAS. LIVID. It wasn’t just about the trip, it was the fact that my feelings weren’t even being considered and that my parents were expecting me to be okay with being excluded. They had their reasons but they could’ve talked to me before making a decision. Every time I bring it up I’m made to feel like I’m overreacting or being unreasonable for still holding a grudge. To be clear, I’m only upset at my parents, I don’t have a grudge against my brother because I know it’s not his fault. So AITA?
