I feel like a bad father!!!

OK, so here I go again. Complaining about my SS. He is 12 years old and is driving both me and my children crazy with his picking/bullying. I have tried to talk to him, but my wife feels that any time I say anything to him that I'm being too rough, and need to realize that he is just being himself, and that's the way he's always been. Well, that's because everybody has always favored him over any of the other children, and that also includes my SD, his sister, and the two youngest that my wife and I have together.

What is the answer?

I really just need to know what I should do in my situation. First of all I love my wife. When it's just the two of us we're o.k., but the problem is that it's not just the two of us on a daily basis, and my kids were with me first. I was a single dad for 3 1/2 years taking care of them and working full-time 12 hour swing shift. As much as I hate to see my marriage fall apart, shouldn't my childrens' well-being come first?

Am I Wrong Here???

O.K., let me start by saying that this is not a bitch session about my stepson. I am just looking to see what advice I can get. I love my kids and I love my step kids, and I feel that they are all treated the same. My problem starts because my 11 y.o. stepson is really mean to my kids, especially my youngest son who is 7. My wife doesn't see his behavior as wrong or mean. I really don't think that half the time she even believes me when I tell her things he says or does.
