[quote=Anonymous]My former stepmom is the kind of person who would do this.  She has actually tried to trash my dad to ME, and I put a stop to it.  The divorce was mostly her idea, and she moved on first, but it pissed her off when he moved on too.  She's a less-happy person than he is, so she is always looking for reasons to be pissed, and he is a frequent target.

(my dad is not perfect.  Things he does can drive me crazy too, but he is a nice man.)

Some people don't do well with breakups.  They have to be mad at someone, and the new wife is a really good target.  And yes, as a PP pointed out, sometimes the husband is a better husband to the next wife than he was to the first one, and that can be hard to watch.

If you haven't done anything to egg her on, just take the high road and keep being polite.  She'll end up looking like an ass and a jerk, and you'll look good.  Face it, we're adults.  Not everyone is going to like us.  You've got a good marriage and two stepkids, and they are what matters, so just keep doing what you're doing.
