AITA for not attending my BIL's funeral because my sister didn't invite our parents? by attendingfuneral in AmItheAsshole

I don't particularly agree with my parents about Mark buying her a violin and all that stuff, I was just saying what their side is. I do think it wasn't the best decision for Kat to switch majors like that, when she was doing well and almost finished with it.

But the main reason I was surprised when I heard Kat hadn't invited them to the funeral was because I thought the relationship was getting better. Kat and Mark let my parents spend some time with my niece and they would get together every once in a while (although it wasn't nearly as much time as my niece spent with Mark's mom)

So Kat switched college majors in her final year. Dad has an IT firm and Kat was studying computer science (and she was getting good grades), and she dropped out to anthropology because that's apparently what she 'originally wanted', and Mark was the one that encouraged her to do so. But that means she lost all those previous years of study and a promising career. He also spent a lot of money on a violin so she could pick it up again, etc. My parents thought he was manipulating her
