FEELING LIKE BD only wants me to be the Care Taker

I have been with my fiance for 5 years now, we have a son together. He has a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship and she resides with us and we take care of her every need. My problem is her mother does nothing for her at all no support, takes her when she feels like it, but loves to show up to all of the child's school appointments and doctor appointments because the daughter is special needs and that is about all she does for her and all she has money for. There is a court order for her to take the daughter from Saturday till Monday every week and provide the things the father says the daughter needs. When asked she has the same story i have no money, when asked to pick up her daughter from our home instead of meeting her half way with the child she has no money. what bothers me is i do everything for my child and when i say everything i mean everything, i support both kids and raise both kids. I am not cant go to any of the daughters appointments because the mother dont want me there and he dont want me to go because there will be a big scene with the mother. I am tired of doing everything and alls i ask of him is to take her back to court and get weekly child support and for her to take her child when she is supposed too. so i can have a break for myself. when i get one its holy hell in my house or when i ask for money for our son its like u have it. Her on the other hand dont give nothing or do anything and it is ok. He refuses to take her to court and says it is his problem, but he expects me to take care of his child physically and financely. I just want to know why he is like that to me??? please help

I cant tell you why he is like that to you and I cant tell you why you let him get away with it or remain in the relationship.

I know it is my fault too i let him to do it, He takes my kindness for weakness that is what he does and it works he knows how to get me using her because he knows i love his daughter like she is my own, and i would never take it out on her it is not her fault her parents cant support her or take care of her...

"He refuses to take her to court and says it is his problem, but he expects me to take care of his child physically and financely."

This is the exact problem with being a step parent. You are expected to care for all the childs needs as if you are the parent. But we have no rights, we can't even go at a PT conference without permission. Why??? I don't know it stinks.
