Ds is 11.
He sees his dad regularly.
His dad remarried 6 years ago, whilst things weren't easy ds seemed to get on ok with step mum and step sisters.
Step sisters are now over 18 and not living at home anymore.
Ds keeps coming home saying step mum is continually criticising him, telling him that hes fat, that he makes the place look untidy and that he has no manners because he forgot to say hello to her.
I ignored most of it as put it down to just a personality thing.
This week, he came home crying because she had shouted in his face and then gone upstairs with his dad leaving him waiting downstairs, he then overheard her making personal remarks about him, that he was a freak and that his dad could expect to choose between ds and her.
His dad then came downstairs and made out that nothing had been said.
Ds keeps asking if I like him and if I would want him around later on!
I want to say something to her but have no idea what to say as no doubt it would get twisted around by them.
So, what would you do in this situation.
