Daughters boyfriend dislikes me

Will try and keep short. Going to get judged so am ready for that. Daughter has had boyfriend for 3 years, during which time I have been going through prolonged break up with daughters dad. Boyfriend is a bit autistic and very black and white.My Relationship with daughter has been fraught at times, probably due to me being depressed over the break up issues. A few times we have had words, she has told boyfriend and now that’s all he sees me as a nasty person. Boyfriend and daughter had a row, he said stuff about me and said to her, accept I have an issue with your mother and that’s how it’s going to be . She’s upset, but in a way I feel, I have deserved some of the comments as I have flown off the handle and said some nasty stuff to her probs taking my issues on the break up out on her. I am sorting my life out. However, I feel he only sees the wrong stuff I have done.l, I am honestly not all bad . I don’t really know what to do as in should I say something to him as I don’t want him to think I am interfering with the relationship as he has accused me of that in the past. Any help appreciated

Hi op. If I were you I’d draw a line under it all and from now on try to prove the boyfriend wrong. It may or may not be salvageable at this point. Like me and my awful mother in law. I haven’t seen or spoken to her for 6 years. I’ve maybe seen her twice in the last 10 years. She’s done far far worse. Words can hurt and tbf he is sticking up for your girl. Be proud of that. She’s found a good one.
