Unfortunately, the stepparents are usually the target of the stepchildren's anger and get blamed for all that goes wrong in a divorced situation. It's always easier to poing the finger at someone else.

She thinks your discipline is too harsh for him because she's likely coddling him like he's a 10 year old. She needs to prepare him for the real world and teach him how to be a strong soldier so he can deal with the realities and harshness of life.

Maybe it's time for you to step out of the picture so she can see that it's her lack of discipline/structure that's causing his behavior. So she can stop blaming you.
