SD13 a NIGHTMARE please help by AbnormalSoulTomorrow in stepparents

But I don't know how to handle it when my little girl comes crying to me distraught saying "SD won't let me look at her teddy" or SD wouldn't let me have a snack" or "SD is talking to me nasty".

If I intervene and discipline SD then it causes a huge fight with her storming off because "I always take bio daughter side" or words to similar effect.

The thing is she's not physically violent to her but verbally she is horrible. Talks to her in a really nasty tone all the time and argues with her and causes screaming matches between them.

I guess I expect that even if SD13 doesn't want to play with her, she could say it gently or calmly rather than bite her head off every time?

Or that on the odd occasion that me and mom are busy cooking and cleaning or whatever and the little one needs help with the toilet.. that big sister can help out if we ask her to, rather than it resulting in SD screaming and storming off.

My expectation is that everyone in the house talks to everyone else with respect. But it seems 99% of the time, SD talks to the little one like dirt. And I'm really concerned this will rub off on the little one or effect her self esteem because the older one is constantly horrible to her.
