Half siblings are technically more your relatives than stepsiblings if you look at it through the lens of DNA-sharing. They have at least one of the same parents as you, so how could you look at them and not consider them family? If I were the half-sister in this next story, I would have reacted the same way, proving that family is more than just your birth certificate—it's the love, dedication, quality time, and the relationship forged in the fires of life that makes it count.

'Ask your 'real' family to do it': Half-sister stops babysitting her nephew for free after her older sibling denounces their bond at the family dinner
Family is more than just genetics. Take it from someone whose family is far from perfect—I have long-time friends who I consider more like family members than my actual DNA-linked relatives.
However, this half-sister didn't see it that way.
After spending nearly a lifetime as 26-year-old u/audreyy_rachel's older sister, sharing a father and all the mixed family drama that comes with it, she recently undermined their bond on the basis of DNA. Frankly, despite her sisterly friendship, this half-sister wasn't considered actual family according to who she thought was her true sibling.
