So basically, a few days ago my parents and I planned a trip to Nigeria. They told me to pay for my own ticket, which was about $1200, and I sent it right away because I really wanted to go.

Then we found out my visa isn’t valid, so now I can’t go anymore.

It’s been a few days, and they haven’t said anything about sending the money back. The thing is, I feel awkward bringing it up. Like… it’s my money, and I’m not even going anymore, so shouldn’t it just be obvious to send it back?

For context, my parents pay for a lot of things in my life (college, etc.), and they’re not struggling financially at all. But they’re also the type where if I ask, they might joke about it or make it feel like I’m begging, which I don’t want to do.

So now I’m just stuck wondering am I supposed to ask for it back, or is this something they should’ve already done without me saying anything?
