What I mean by "be like Jesus" is try to love as best you can and live truth. We all have difficult people in our lives. For some divorced Christians it's the biological parent in the other home which is tough because your child needs to continue a relationship with them, but you may not appreciate their influence. So, what do you do? Set a good example. You can't control your co-parent's behavior, but you can control your own. Continue to grow and strive to be like Christ.
