The emotional health of parental relationships largely depends on the attitudes and actions exhibited.  Consider the following that can be dangerous to the children:

• Make their child choose between them
• Question their child about the activities and relationships of the other parent
• Make promises they do not keep
• Drop in and out of the life of the child
• Are inconsistent in using their parenting time
• Argue with or put down the other parent in front of the child or where the child can overhear
• Discuss their personal problems with the child or where the child can overhear
• Use the child as a messenger, spy, or mediator
• Stop or interfere with parenting time because child support has not been paid
• Do not show respect for each other
• Undermine the relationship of the child with the other parent
