Re: re: step parent is undermining parent ability to co parent
There are two issues,
1) the difficulty in developing a relationship with your children and
2) custody of your children.
with respect to custody,,clearly, your ability or lack thereof to provide suitable housing is a factor,
with respect to step-mom's interference with your relationships with your children, this can be addressed at any time.
Good Luck
