If you stop financially supporting guy A and sincerely apologize to guy B, and guy B continues to be pissed at you, THEN you can act like he is unreasonable and take steps to protect yourself, even if those steps hurt guy B.
You can’t pretend guy A is blameless and act confused why guy B is pissed at you, which is what is happening in real life.
Of course I am going to support Guy A because HE IS MY FRIEND or FAMILY.
But the fact remains your strategy will only lead to your death and your family’s. Which it would be good for your family to know.
