My favorite uncle has 4 kids. He went through a nasty divorce about 15 years ago. 2 of his kids he talks to and are close with. But his ex, who I've still been friendly with the couple times I've seen her have turned the other 2 kids agaisnt my uncle.1 of his kids refuses to talk to him or have anything to do with him. I think that is healthier then what my other cousin does to be honest. My other cousin sometimes talks to him. Sometimes lets him see his grandaughter but then other time she gets weird and doesn't talk to him and doesn't give a reason other then that shes manipulative and uses him. I'm close to these cousins as well as to my uncle. I just always have this motto of, you can like the person but not like their behavior.
