When you’ve welcomed your child’s partner as one of the family, what happens if they break up? Your child is likely to need your support through the break-up, but if you love and miss their partner, you’ll be grieving too. Is it appropriate to maintain a relationship and, if so, how can you make sure you are staying loyal to your child? We hear from a mother who has gone through this recently, and Deidre Sanders, agony aunt for The Sun newspaper for over 30 years, joins Jenni to discuss the best way to navigate these difficult situations.
