Has your biological father given you a reason that you cannot see your grandfather? You say that he has dementia. He may not recognize anyone anymore. Do you know of any other people who do visit your grandfather? If you have valid reasons to doubt that he is receiving proper care, there are people you can call to investigate. I'd make sure first, though, since making an unfounded claim would likely cause more issues in the family.
There are probably reasons. They must have POA and the responsibility to make decisions on what they feel is best for grandpa.
My stepdad passed a month ago. He did not want me to come see him. My son and wife just had a baby. They did not want visitors for a period of time. And you know I am the same way, when I don't feel good I do not want to be bothered with people visiting either.
Maybe that is what grandpa wants. Respect his wishes.
Ok. Your grandparents separated. Your grandfather remarried. Doesn't really matter when.
Your biological father has a wife and children with whom you have no connection. These people are hostile to you. It is not clear how or why any relationship with your biological father has been maintained. Normally this would be a good thing; but was it, in fact, for you? I'm not sure how much good it can have done you to have contact with a man who pretended to give you parental time then palmed you off on his father and stepmother. However...
I'm so sorry to hear of your grandfather's loss of his much loved wife. Three days ago. That means his emotions will be totally raw. Do not make things worse. Leave him alone, at least for now. Send a simple card at most, saying only that you are sad about grandma and will miss her very much.
Further down the line, and I mean not this year, the approach to take is that your grandfather has a right to contact with any family he wants to see. If, in the midst of your extremely complex family, you have been brought into contact with any counsellors or social workers, why not ask their advice on how you can advocate your grandfather's right to see you.
Other than that... Your family, like many others, is a bit of an emotional tornado. Try not to get caught up in it. Love who you love, leave those you don't love, make your own life. I hope you get to catch up with your grandpa again, but your chances of that will be better if you approach the situation constructively. Best of luck.
