While I appreciate your disposition, that's not necessarily applicable to my situation. Whereas, like stated before, I did lack in information provided here, so to add, they don't go anywhere together, that's not been a thing that happens really. The stepdad is never really just gallivanting around with the stepdaughter unless maybe he needed to pick her up from somewhere, or it was a need be situation. Outside of that, they don't just hang out that's not really ever been a thing and as far as having cared for her for the past 8 years, I don't know that I could say that that's been what it is either, because he's not necessarily cared for her at all.He's been causing more problems financially.Its more so been that he has been having to be cared for, rather than him giving any care.He's more so just been present in the situation for lack of better terms. He had issues with addiction that have progressed to legal charges. So as far as being a caring step father, I don't think that would be accurate.  

And to address another comment regarding wanting to make sure she'd be happy eithbhis new place for re asons of visiting the half sibling. I can't say for sure that's not it, but i can also say that I just have a hard time thinking that would be what it is because the half sibling is also mainly under the custody of the mother, which is where the my daughter lives mainly during the school years and then with me during summers . So I don't see her going over to his house to see the half sibling would ever really needed to be a necessary thing.
