My Sister Says Her Absurd Wedding Gift Demand Is Only "Fair." I'm About to Skip the Whole Thing.
Briefly

The article discusses a dilemma faced by an older sister, who feels pressured to financially support her younger half-sister's wedding. After giving her younger sister, Lily, a generous wedding gift and contributing financially, she is now confronted by another half-sister, Viola, who expects the same treatment. The response advises that it's unreasonable for Viola to expect financial support for her wedding, especially since her behavior has been disrespectful and demanding. Ultimately, the advice emphasizes that the older sister should prioritize her own needs and consider skipping the wedding rather than succumbing to familial pressure.
Viola shouldn't expect others to foot the bill for a party she wants to throw.
You don't need to send her a check that's equivalent to what you gave Lily.
You also don't need to attend the wedding of someone who hasn't shown you respect.
It’s important to prioritize your own feelings and resistance against feeling obligated to financially support family events.
