How to help children cope with an unreliable co-parent

My co-parent shows up three hours late to pick up our kids every single time and they sit by the window waiting and making excuses for him that break my heart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Children will protect the parent who hurts them by hurting themselves, leaving the reliable parent to witness love twisted into self-betrayal.
