The way I'm seeing it, that stepmother is receiving enough help from Mikoto but its just not enough because she does nothing to help their situation. Raised her? yeah, right. Mikoto probably be acting more of a mother to her family rather that stepmother. And i think she's keeping some money for herself.
And that b*tch does think that seducing and threatening a man can make him love her or even look at her with passion. Kazuki seems to be on a tight leash of his situation and sees that b*tch as nothing but someone he needs to entertain to stabilize his life.
