I won't say I'm holding a grudge, because that implies the possibility of vengeance. I have no intention of holding onto resentment against my eldest sister due to a misunderstanding. But some situations are out of our control. My sister hasn't talked to me for years, and it started when my wife and I decided to move to Canada. We wanted to keep it secret because we weren't sure if we would get through to our goal. Maybe it was a mistake not to let her know about our plans. I remember she was very aggressive and mouthy when she found out about our plans. When she said I was manipulated and the decision to immigrate to Canada wasn't mine, I know she was referring to my wife. I know a situation like this one is complicated to manage, especially when it concerns the relationship of your family. I don't hold grudges, I say live and let live, however, I will not put myself in a toxic situation for anyone. Shake the sand from your shoes and keep walking.
