I had divorced my first wife many years ago. My ex wife and I remained civel to each other for the sake of our child. Later we came full circle to being friends. While it is tough to sometimes get along with the other parent the less you try to make the kids pick side, hear bad things about the other parent, Hear the troubles of the relationship, Or be left to think they had anything to do with it. Of course it takes two and the question becomes what do you do if the other parent is nasty about you. I would simple tell the child X needs time to understand this is best for everyone, right now they feel hurt.
