i want to call cops on my bf’s dad.

i currently live with my boyfriend and his father. his mom currently lives in florida due to family issues (her sister is chronically ill and might not have much time left). his brother moved in around november i want to say, he was homeless and used to be a drug addict but has since moved to alcoholism. he lives in the GARAGE btw. he’s constantly drunk 24/7 and his dad just doesn’t do anything about it, mind you there is a 10 year old in the house as well.

he not only does nothing about his alcoholic son but constantly feeds delusions of “winning the lotto” to the 10 year old, making so many promises like an indoor slide to his own personal game room and whatnot. he also struggles to pay bills on his own despite the fact that he makes plenty enough to be able to do so. he gets $200 a month from the alcoholic son and $500 from my boyfriend while also asking my bfs mom for money as well.

he has been giving the kid’s mom a really hard time. he has the kids basically all year while she gets less than 5 weeks. she asked him about summer plans and he said they have nothing planned so she wanted to have the kids down in Florida for the summer (there is also a 18yo but dad has legal guardianship over her due to her being mentally disabled but that’s a whole different issue) and he said “FUCK no” and was just being unnecessarily rude about it. he later talked to my bf and said “she’s crazy if she thinks she’s taking MY kids for 2 months.”.

it’s all just super frustrating. he doesn’t even help with their schooling. he has me do homework with the 10yo and he doesn’t even have a folder for schoolwork because he doesn’t buy them sufficient school supplies. their mom buys their clothes throughout the year and does her best to help when she can. she calls the kids daily and constantly has to deal with both dad and older brother saying she abandoned her family and is a shitty mother. he also tries to make sure the kids like him more because he’s “fun”.

“fun” meaning he’s bought 5 turtles, a $500 backyard inflatable “water park”, kept dogs he and older brother basically abuse and are teaching the kids it’s okay to hit them, and just doesn’t say no to them. mom is more strict, the kids are overweight so she tells them no to constant snacking while visiting and doesn’t let them go to the toy isle and pick something every time we go to the store. she helps with homework when visiting and tries to help encourage them to do chores.

if anyone has advice or has experienced this PLEASE share. i want to try my best to help, i’ve just never had this happen and im genuinely enraged by how immature the dad is. im most likely not calling cps because their mom has said she wants to figure things out on her own and also i do live with their dad so it would just make everything collapse. the urge is there but my boyfriend is going to have a conversation with his parents in the morning. i just don’t like that this is the situation that the kids are living in.
