What if the other parent is unable or unwilling to be involved with the children?
Support your child in expressing disappointments without criticizing the other parent. Do not create any obstacles to your children having a positive relationship with the uninvolved parent. Maintain a positive attitude about the parent being a valued part of their lives and doing whatever you can to support that in word and deed.
Focus on what you can control. That is, focus on your relationship with your child.
If you can narrow in on what the reason for the non-involvement is, try to reason with the non-involved parent, but be sure to always keep your child's best interest in the forefront of all decisions
If possible, keep in contact with some people from the other parent’s side of the family.
