[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 548434"] Have you ever sat down and calmly ask him why he "doesn't like" his stepmother anymore? If he says he doesn't know, mention the things you've 'noticed'. Avoid saying things like "she said" kind of thing. Listen to him. Don't poo poo what he says, ask for clarification if you don't understand what he's saying, validate his feelings even if you don't agree with them, and see if there's a way you and he can make things better. This conversation needs to be a heart to heart. Let him talk and listen to what he has to say. There could be a reason or it could just be puberty. You won't know unless you ask him and avoid the blame game. [/QUOTE]
