step-uncle
Mom's stepbrother, perhaps
A step-uncle is the stepbrother of one's parent, or the husband of one's parent's stepsister.
The relationship arises through marriage rather than blood: when a grandparent remarries, their new spouse's sons become step-uncles to existing grandchildren.
Like other step-relationships, the term describes family connections formed through remarriage rather than biological descent.
My step-uncle joined the family when Grandma remarried.
