I guess that's the stress you were talking about. That's a tricky situation. It may be a point where you're going to have to let him do the wrong thing. If you try to get him to change then he'll probably see it as more of a reason to let her be that way. He's trying to make up for the fact that he and the girl's mother aren't together. My husband was the same way with his son. I tried to get him to see my side but he'd just resent my interfering. So I would just hold my ground with his son by not letting him talk to me in an ugly manner without saying anything about it to my husband. I'd just tell him that it was unacceptable for him to talk to me that way and that it was disrespectful. I would be calm and matter of fact about it. Eventually, my husband could see that the boy was being disrespectful and he stepped in and took my side. Now the boy is closer to me than to his own parents and shows me more respect than either his mother or father. I don't know if this will help you but it's what worked for me and my family. My step-son just graduated salutatorian of his school.
