What do you do about a step parent that acts like your actual parent?

My dad says “do this for me” to make me feel worse when I tell him how uncomfortable I feel.

My son in laws Ex wife Dumped her kids on him with no warning whatsoever ,,He was fighting for just for his visitation
He was accused of shaking his son ,which was later proved not true ,he had a birth defect and almost died while he and his brothers were taken and put in foster care ,,
But his ex was still insisting after that was proven unfounded ,he had abused her and the kids
She is such a controlling witch
Her boyfriend moved out of state ,so she could not go ,
He knew with out my son in law agreeing to it ,she could not take them over 50 miles ,,
So she dumps them on her Mom and tells her Mom to bring them to him a man she was just trying to paint as a monster
She has to come back to Florida to sign over full custody to him
He works 7 days on ,,7 days off and at nights
2 of the kids also have special needs ,,the middle one in the gifted program ,and thinks he is better then everyone else
"He is special " He is also the one who called the law on his Dad ,,he admitted to me it was over ice cream
His Dad promised if he ate all his food ,then he could have Ice Cream ..My son in law fell asleep on the couch ,
He jerks his hand from under his head causing his head to come crashing down and laughs ,,he was really proud of himself ,,but my son in law was upset with him for waking him that way and goes to smack him on the rear with his hand ,but catch's his back ,,it did turn red ,,,his son calls the law saying he has been abused ,,they are already under investigation over the brain bleed ,,HRS takes all the kids
He told me his Dad deserved to loose them not for the slap
but for breaking his promise and not giving him ice cream

Well guess who gets stuck raising someone else's kids ?
Thats right ,,My daughter ,who's kids were almost grown

The kids mind better then they ever have ,they all improved in school and the oldest was not longer condoned for hitting and head butting adults ,teachers and teachers aids
Scratching and hitting just for asking him to join the other kids on the play ground
He went from Pre K classes to classes designed for kids with his particular disability ,,and regular arts and music classes
All A's and his behavior ,except because of his speech ,,
He is hard to pick out as a boy with any disability ,,and that is due to the time my daughter and I have spent with both of them

But ,,constant visits from HRS ,cops for wellness checks
telling the kids not to listen to my daughter "Mommie is taking Daddy back to court ,they will be with her soon
She is about to get her 5th summer with them
He made her pay no child support ,,she is allowed to visit them anytime she wants ,,and she makes excuses for the holidays ,,keeps the clothes they take with them
refuses to get meds filled it they run out while they are with her

She has cost my Daughter thousands ,,to retain a lawyer
She told her lawyer her took them from her ,,when she had to appear to sign them over
I think when you abandon your kids like that ,but tell the kids "She is not your Mommie ,you do not have to listen to her " that is Child endangerment and abuse "
She quit her job to be a good parent to someone elses kid and thats the thanks she gets ,,
She told the ex they need to co parent ,,she is the one who has to take care of them ,like it or not ,,she said on a cold day in hell maybe ,those are my kids ,,you have 0 say so about anything
Well she has kept on until Guardian Ad Litem has now done 2 home studies ,and her home found unsafe ..
She wanted a special needs boy to fly without an adult
they said no way
She made them stop everything for an hour every night at bed time ,,so she could talk to them ,,every single day
so she pushed for a hearing ,,she got one
The judge set a time before supper ,not bed time and its no longer every single day ,,so again she screwed herself

Now that the kids are older and see whats going on ,they dont even want to live with Mommie anymore
and after 5 yrs ,,she is still trying to make my son in law be supervised to be alone with his kids ,,this is something she is asking for when and if they ever do make it to court
There are 2 sides to every story
We work with HRS and the Foster Care system ,my daughter is a nurse with child care development training for children and adults with special needs
This lady picked the wrong family to screw with
I think when you abandon your kids for a man who doesn't even want you ,,you need to me the one in parenting classes
and supervised ,,the same crap she tried to pull on a good man ,,not to mention the stress and harassment she has caused my daughter ,,the woman they will not allow her kids to call her Mom ,she knows how bad it hurt me ,when she used to call her step father Dad ,,I was OK with Papa
