need some advice!

Hey everyone, this might be a long post but bear with me. My bf has a stepdaughter who is nine and we've been together for a few years known each other for about 6 years. We now have a 6 month old baby together. I've tried so hard to be everything I can be for my step daughter and also have a civil relationship with her mom. However her mom hates me with a passion, she's always saying bad things about me to my bf, she makes fun of me on social media, she doesn't allow her daughter to hang around me if my bf isnt around, she controls absolutely everything. I've asked my bf to communicate with me more about my step daughter and things he talks about with her mom. I don't feel comfortable with them being friends knowing she's always trash talking me. I don't have an issue at all with them communicating things about their daughter, pick up drop off times etc. However my bf has lied numerous times to me about their relationship and continues to talk with her like her best friend everyday, not related to their daughter. I feel betrayed that he doesn't stick up for me and still continues to be her best friend. I'm so hurt over all of this... Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

I have a step mom and my mom hates her as well. She talks shit about her to me and her side of the family and quite honestly there is nothing you can really do about it. She’s the mother and she can do what she wants with her child like not letting her stay with you when the father is not around. She doesn’t have to like you and you don’t have to like her. Some divorced parents become friends for the sake of a good co-parenting relationship. If you have a problem with her maybe you should trying confronting it rather than getting mad because your boyfriend doesn’t feel the need to start a fight. She can talk shit all she wants but just try not to let it get the best of you because in the end it doesn’t matter.
