As much as you hate your mother's boyfriend, remember that she chose to be with him. He couldn't help being in the hospital when she had her stroke.
You've managed in the past not to comeback to his rude and mean-spirited remarks to you. Now it is more important than ever that you not fight with him. Your mother is hearing this and it's not helping her.
He's in his 80s, he could be in dementia -- that can turn some people mean. They can't help themselves, and you can't stop him from being a jerk. But you can just tune him out. Keep your attention on the one you love.
