It's happened again. The Co-Parent was meant to have the children this weekend, or to call, or to collect them, and they didn't. Maybe they cancelled at the last minute, maybe they just didn't appear, maybe the promised contact simply evaporated with no explanation. And you're left holding a disappointed child and your own familiar mix of anger, worry, and weariness, wondering how many times this can happen and what it's doing to your child.

In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about when your co-parent doesn't show up, what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why, grounded in attachment science and clinical research.

What we cover:
• What the no-show does to a child
• What you can't control, and what you can
• Buffering the child without lying
• Being the reliable one
• The line you carry
