Generous 30-year-old man financially supports 16-year-old half-sister, but her bio dad insists he start paying for the whole family’s expenses, he refuses: “Your money, your decision”

Welcome back people of the internet. It's not easy to put boundaries on, especially when love is involved. When we have strong feelings for someone, our internal compass can sometimes go out the window, along with rationality, logic, or even self-respect. We can easily make excuses for other people's behavior if we're in love or even infatuation, and end up being taken advantage of. The point is to eventually see the light and put those boundaries back in place. Things may feel good with someone for a time, but along the path of knowing them you may start to feel sensations that don't actually feel right for you, healthy, or loving.

Knowing when you get back in tune with yourself isn't something they teach you in school. If you're somewhat of an empath, then it may be easier to be manipulated into dynamics you're uncomfortable with. In the story below, the protagonist stands strong in the odds against him.
It centers around a man and his half-sister who's also half his age. He's financially well off and can afford to treat her, much to the displeasure of her bio dad and his wife.

AITA for saying no for giving money to my half sister’s dad and instead preferring to just spend the money on her myself?

This man has no obligation to give money directly to his half-sister's bio dad. He's not related, he should have no responsibility in the family. The bio dad should understand that since he has a mixed family that things won't be inherently equal in the first place.
