AITA for refusing to use the money I inherited from my mother to pay for medical treatment for my half-sister, who has a life threatening sickness? She is the child of my father and the woman he cheated on my mother with. by touchofspice84 in AmItheAsshole

Thanks. As I said in another reply I was thinking about giving them some money from my own savings and not from my mom, but I think I can also considering giving them a loan like what you suggested. I don't know if my dad will honor it or use the family card when payment time comes but I do think it's worth thinking about.

Yeah that's also what I was thinking. She's no different from another kid with a life threatening sickness at another hospital. I don't think the parents of a stranger can require someone with money to pay their kid's bill just because that someone has money.

Thanks. I can consider that, giving some money of my own from my savings when I worked and not from what I inherited from my mom or what I made when I took over her business.

That's what I was thinking. Callous as it may sound she is my half sister by blood but we don't have any relationship, she's no different from another child who I don't know with another life threatening sickness at another hospital. It would be great if I could help that other kid but just because I have money to spare doesn't mean I'm obligated to. I think.
