I thought it was funny when the mom said that oh if we failed as parents, then you also failed us as your son. It’s like no that’s not the way it works 😂 So good on his brother for calling the parents out on their lie
The parents blamed him for adding to the situation, as a child. They expected the youngest, least powerful person in the situation to be the bigger person. Yeah no
I’m sorry weddings take weeks to MONTHS to plan and there are dozens of other people involved who have or be booked long in advanced and they had know for 8 months the date and time. The parents dang well knew that asking to OP to postpone his wedding so they could go on vacation was out of line and basically telling him that they had no regard for his time, money, or feelings. I think the parents got called out by other family and are now making excuses to cover themselves. The whole the brother already took the time off so it couldn’t be moved is BS considering the fact OP turned around and said that the brother owned his own business.
Honestly it wouldn’t have mattered if their golden boy knew or not. Parents like these will always choose their favorite. The parents knew and still chose to skip the wedding for the trip. They just don’t want to take any accountability.
so your parents knew about the wedding 8 months prior, and one week after your formal invitation your brother "won" an all paid vacation?, however those kinds of vacations are allowed to be scheduled, so your parents said nothing to brother before he planned, or were they invited despite their own schedule? either way it sounds like it would have been easier for parents to simply attend the wedding DAY then join brother on his WEEKS long vacation? NTA
Anytime someone asks another person to postpone a wedding that they'd been planning for months for something so trivial, they are the ones who are wrong.
Is this real?? I just do not see asking my child to delay his wedding that takes months to plan , that costs money, that you have deposits paid, people hired, friends and family taking time off and so on. That’s crazy and selfish.
This OP is getting DARVOd so hard it's not even funny. The parents saying he failed as their son gets me specially worked up, like, no, you were the adults, _you_ had the responsibility, you don't get to put it on your literal child

@@bianncahempel2056 it means "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender" it's basically a manipulation tactic where someone denies their fault and instead put fault on the victim, which the OP's parents demonstrate a lot in this video
The parents knew about the wedding and that’s all that mattered. Even if the brother didn’t know, why would a vacation be more important than A WEDDING? Postpone the trip.
Mom is a real piece of work She said they may have favored his brother, it he didn’t make it easy with his behavior. You mean the behavior that developed in response to the favoring of his brother?
Op you didnt accuse them of anything. They were trying to gaslight you. Sorry to be blunt but NOTHING you couldve ever done would make them believe you as a kid. Once they chose their favorite, they would turn a blind eye to everything that happened and then gaslight you to think youre somehow at fault.
Maybe proofread and these stories would be less repeat pete and repete pointless hurryup end. Did he repeat the same paragraph 20 times? I had to quit listening to type this.
Ok OP is and isn't the asshole he is eggoistic thinks of him as the one who didnt do anything wrong while even when he realised it he still is thinking hes the reasonable one as he didnt even try to talk to them before the weding while his parents are assholes bcs they skipped they should have told his brother sorry can you pospone the trip for like a week later? And all that so yeah assholes on both sides
I half agree. - While it's true OP lie to his parent, the simple fact they ask him to postpone his weeding indicate they have made a choice. - OP mention his parents were surprise he accepts, that mean they didn't expect it, and were probably ready to argue, at least a little. That contradict the argument of the parent that they would have changed their plan if he was honest. - We cannot know about his childhood, but I think the parents are the most responsible about sibling fight in general, but it's hard to know how much OP was a brat. - We cannot know about the brother intent, but we can know about his knowledge. OP mention his parents try to make him invite his brother, if that the case, it's not far-fetched they also try to talk to the brother about it. OP is in no contact with his brother, but have some general knowledge about his life, it could be the family gathering, but I think the parents are more incline to give general info than distant cousin or uncle that OP barely talk to. If that it's true, we can assume it goes both way and the brother know for the weeding. BUT I admit it's an assumption. - Concerning the reconciliation, the parent's method is beating the iron while hot, while it's not a bad method, it can lead to hot-blooded conversation with words that can be regretted later. - OP just wanted to cool down before that conversation, that actually a mature way to deal with conflict, but when he asks for it, he was accused of not treating them as important as they treat him. The parents try to force a reconciliation in their term only while refusing his point. That's not good and at this point I think the only way toward reconciliation is with a third party, like a family therapy. - The parent tries to beat the iron hot again a week later with the dinner invitation and the surprise brother reconciliation. That backfire since the brother gave OP the only two elements the parent uses to defends themselves. Brother didn't know anything, and they would have chosen the marriage if OP was honest. While they both took bad decision, I think the blame is around 70/30, the parents use a lot of "what if", imposes their term multiples times and barely acknowledge their wrong doing by turning part of the blame to OP. While OP is mostly conflict avoidant (lie to not argue, ask for time) and question himself about his child self and did try to see his parents point of view of raising him.
There is no point in talking to them. Parents like that will always find a way to turn OP into the villian. If their relationship could be fixed by talking things never would have gotten that bad in the first place.
I would have agreed with this if they didn’t try to gaslight him Instead of taking accountability, they said that they would have agreed to essentially not go to the vacation if they knew that he was against it with that is even if they didn’t know that he was planning that wedding months before (which they did know) why would you ask him to postpone his wedding so you can go have your little fun in Australia knowing he put so much effort into this wedding Once in a lifetime, (hopefully) occurrence Plus, they didn’t even ask as far as we know if he was OK, they only asked him to set back the wedding while they are on vacation having fun and bonding like they always do without their other son Instead of asking their soon To be married son to postpone the wedding, they should’ve asked their other son to reschedule the vacation as far as we know,. It doesn’t make it better that later on they tried to turn it against him gaslight him and make excuses when his behavior was only because of their actions (which even they admitted to, but in the ultimate fashion, try to turn it back on him) regardless choose his brother over anything and they made that pretty clearly with their past behavior plus with the lie That they try to pull about always caring about him because last time I checked when OP and the brother got into a fight instead of hearing him out at all immediately assumed that he was the problem like they always did even before he was causing ‘problems’ and essentially giving him the cold shoulder and only try to fix it at the last minute when he was about to be off to college little Too late these parents are manipulative,liars who only cares about themselves and their own interest or their golden child in my opinion, I wouldn’t even be mad if OP didn’t even just not invite them and kicked them out of the wedding after all that they definitely deserved it I’m gonna have to go with NTA for op they don’t care about him or his feelings they only care about wanting to look and their golden child. Edit: my other issues is that they lied to both of their children, knowing it would be uncomfortable for both of them, especially for the OP as he has already expressed his feelings about his brother and we also later find out that in fact they did tell The brother about it and chose the brother over the op Is likely that they never even planned to go Definitely not the AH
Hes not. im having a hard time understanding this comment. Op was heavily gaslighted all his life and sounds like his brother is too. While the parents arent to blame how op reacted as a kid, they are responsible and shouldve listened when op said he was being bullied by his own brother. I despise those parents who didnt even give an effort to be fair to their children. The parents are the roots here.
Ok, the parents are not being parents becuz they certainly put your brother ahead, and they are rationalizing that was the truth. You might need to consider a third person, counselor, to mediate..?
Let’s get something straight: OP is responsible for this mess, not anyone else. For starters, OP is the one who refuses to make up with his brother, and never informed him about the wedding. Even if the brother had no intention of going, that is at least a courtesy to give him since it is a major event involving family, especially parents. Second, OP could have easily avoided the entire situation by telling his parents that the wedding could not be moved. You wouldn’t even have to lie, as deposits, invites, and other plans surrounding the day were already in place and are not the type of things that can be moved very easily. Instead, OP chose to lie to his parents, which sounds like a recurring theme based on his childhood. OP’s parents were offered a trip that sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience that coincided with his big day, and they asked in advance if the day could be moved. YouWhOP said yes, then went ahead as originally planned without his parents. Who would have thought they would get upset? OP’s parents aren’t manipulating anyone. OP just wants someone to blame for his own mistakes.
It was wrong for the parents to ask for a wedding be postponed. Weddings are planned months in advanced. Deposits for venues, caterers, photographers, and DJs are generally non-refundabled. Often times you plan your wedding based on what dates are available with the venue. Guests took time out of their schedules to be able to attend. So postponing the wedding would cost thousands of dollars, loss of the venue location, and deposits. It also speak to how little the parents disregarded the people who sent out their RSVP to say they were going to be there. OP isn't a saint but asking to postpone a wedding isn't a little thing he could do.
@ I agree with all of that, and stated as much in my post…so why didn’t OP tell his parents that? Just because they are his parents doesn’t mean they know anything about how far along the wedding plans are, especially considering their clear lack of communication that is stated in the video. His decision to lie to them reveals he didn’t actually want them there in the first place. They went primarily because he said it was ok to do so.
I have to disagree For starters it was pretty clear in the beginning that both the brother and the OP had no intention of reconciling and really it wasn’t really OP needing to reconcile with his brother. It was more so the opposite, considering his brother was actively bullying him in the past to ask op to do the reconciling would be doing exactly what the brother wanted it’s not about ego or anything and if the family did matter like his parents and you claimed the brother not only wouldn’t have bullied him, but his parents would actually be willing to listen to him and wouldn’t have done what they did to him. They blatantly disrespected him not once but several times. Secondly, we find out that later they did know and had all the opportunities to back out as the brother did know about the wedding but they lied and said that he didn’t know to make OP look bad for a good reason he lied more likely would have never chosen him no matter how it went over his brother and they made it pretty clear as even the brother called it out It was pretty clear that never in his childhood he didn’t really lie I don’t know where that was got from because even the parents admitted that they they could’ve been wrong meaning the likelihood of him being a liar was slim The inconsistency with the whole him not telling the truth is that they fully well knew, and they had a choice to choose whether to go on the vacation or go to the wedding they could’ve asked to reschedule the vacation never did that They tried to hold their other son, the one that they always didn’t always turn down and clearly had no respect for postpone his wedding with the knowledge that he has been planning this for months no matter how little it was. They fully well knew that he was planning this as he made it pretty clear And it seems with the knowledge of the brother collaborate that so not only was asking to postpone the wedding not possible, but also very disrespect And yet again, even the brother knowledge that OP was potentially getting manipulated they were being manipulative. He did not do it himself every single time they try to take accountability they place the blame even when they were confronted with the truth try to blame on their golden child and the op they most likely wouldn’t have been mad if the whole family didn’t know it very clear that they show no signs of actually caring about OP Actually seems to actively try to make him feel bad about his actions, no matter how much it was their own cause even when he takes accountability they always find a way to place it on him especially with the line saying that they failed as a parent but also he also failed as a son not only was it a low blow considering what he has been through with them and his brother Complemented with the fact that they knew that they were lying OP is NTA I don’t blame OP for cutting contact with his parents and honestly, if the brother does the same, I would not blame him either the parents are ultimately the cause of all of this if they wouldn’t have shown obvious favoritism, not only would op not have been bullied, but he wouldn’t have been doing all of the things he would’ve done and he wouldn’t have had a reason to lie to them The family would have been much better instead they refuse to take accountability for any other actions and they seem so set on placing the blame on anyone else and he only wanted them there simply because that was his only family that he knew I highly believe it is unlikely that they didn’t know that.
@ for starters, letting his brother know about the wedding was not about reconciliation. It was about letting him know about a major life event that affected multiple members of his family, including his parents. His brother had a vague idea of when it was, but he states outright that his planned vacation had nothing to do with the wedding and everything to do with his upcoming workload for the promotion. Second, go back and listen again. OP states outright that he was a horribly-behaved child. Bullying from his brother certainly didn’t help, and he rightly fought back against that. But he was no angel as a child, either. And his communication issues go beyond his parents. And lastly, The parents asked about moving the wedding, and were actually surprised when OP agreed to it. So they made their decision based on the information they were told. It was OP’s lying about changing the date that caused the mess. If OP had been straightforward and honest about saying the date could not be moved (a completely reasonable position) and the parents still decided to go on vacation, then he would have a point. But lying to his parents about the date told them it was ok to go. OP has nobody to blame but himself for that.
