DP’s ex hates me

There’s a long standing drama with the me and DPs ex, she doesn’t like me, never has and blames me for everything, she’s very jealous and bitter, which is fine but she prevents me from actually spending time with their DD. We go through stages where she fine with us having her and then all of a sudden (usually if she doesn’t get her way or I don’t suck up to her), she’ll kick off and prevent contact, then it goes back to just DP allowed to spend time with her and this is usually a quick trip to see her after school or round to hers or something, if he tries to plan something for the day she’ll say they’re busy. Most recently DP was going to attend a school event for their DD and said he would bring our daughter, she said yeah fine as long as I’m not there, which I wouldn’t go to something no like that anyway as I know it might be awkward for the ex. I’m just ranting really, I feel so bad their DD has to miss out on seeing her sister (our DD) and spending proper time with her dad and his family, I’ve always been go good to her and treat her like my own, it really sucks that women can’t put their kids first. Will it ever be normal? We’ve had almost 4 years of this and it’s so sad.

Can your DP get a court order so she can’t keep messing around with contact?

I’ve been through this so many times with him, he simply won’t. He never wants to rub her the wrong way or put their DD through that, I’ve explained multiple times it would be in everyone’s favour but he simply won’t do it, he just keeps following her demands
