Divorce Support Forums: reactions to kids pick up/drop off

The thing is that my son started acting this way as soon as I had informed his dad that I was moving even when he was still seeing him the two nights a week. His dad started telling him that he did not want him to move which I think puts my son in the middle. He also yelled out in front of my son, "Don't forget to hate your mom for me". When I pick him up from the weekend and it is just his dad there, he seems very happy to see me. But if it is his stepmom and other children are there, it is a different story. I think it is just a matter of having fun with the other children and the fact that his stepmom makes the pick up worse than it needs to be. She really makes it seem like it is a bad thing that he has to go with me. Should I confront her about this? Another thing to add is that the every other weekend thing is just a minimal. This visitation schedule is only there in cases for when we cannot agree. I have made it clear to his dad that he can come spend time with him anytime he wants. So far, he has not taken me up on this offer.
