EX in-law problems

I will try to keep this short.  I'm divorced and my youngest is 15.  My ex-sister in law who in my opinion is a narrow minded highly opinionated you-know-what (and who I never really liked) has had my 15 yo living with her over this past school year so he can play a certain sport for a well respected coach in her area.  Ok, I had no say in that but was not happy, but went along with it for the sake of my son who was excited.  Anyway now I hear how she acts as though I don't exist, that whenever my child says something about me or "our" relating to our dog, our  house, whatever, she acts as though it's strange my that my child considers it his!  Petty I know but how do I deal with this?  She and I do not ever speak, she lives in a different state.  There was certainly no love lost between my ex's family and me when we divorced, but because of my children, I still have to have them in my life to a certain extent. 

So my question is, how do I handle this with my child?  Do I take the  high road and ignore it or have a discussion about it with him?  I'm so ticked off right now, I need some neutral advice.
