Can a step parent ever get custody of me?

How hard is it for a mother of a young child (boy) to get custody if she is bipolar but when taking meds is ok?

• ? Also if the mom has a crumby job history but she is able to get and keep a job to have custody of her son, how long does the mother have to have the job for, to look good to a judge as "a parent that's able to hold a job and be financially supportive"? Also, can the father use something bad that the mother done (5 years before the baby was conceived) but no criminal charges were filed against her in the custody battle. One more, if the mother has a bunch of family (high class people) and a few church members to show up in court to testify for her, and all the father has is his mom and step-dad that is messed up with the local cps and maybe a brother that is a sex offender, no friends from church cause no one goes to church in his family. Would that be a big plus for the mother to get custody? Also the father of the child's step-dad has stood up in court years ago and said he molested his own daughter. Would that play a role in the father of the child not getting custody? If the mom has family members to watch the child while she's at work vs the dad who only has day care ( if he can afford that) is that a major plus for mom to get custody? The father of the child has two previous boys that he terminated his rights to voluntarily from another marriage. CPS was mixed up with that and the head lady from cps told the father he would never under no circumstances get his two boys back(even though it was all the ex-wife's fault they got taken). Would that look good for this case for the mom to keep her son since the other two he had went to his ex-wife's parents? State of TEXAS... Ok one last question...If your baby boy is only 6 months old (maybe it's just me, the mom, that can't understand this), but the father of the child wants to become a truck driver and be gone but for just a few days out of a month for a least 2 years...even though the father is able to make the big bucks to support his family an hour and a half away from his home town and his "mommy" ,,,doing what he likes to do but won't move that far cause he wants to be close to his mom...Does this kinda look selfish on the fathers part? If the father cared about his child at all, he would move that far away so that he could be home with his child every evening, instead of being away all the time and never seeing his child. The child is not gonna know who daddy is for the first few years of his life...Is this a good thing?
