-The Welsh family is changing.

0:00:020:00:04

-Within the past half a century...

0:00:050:00:07

-..the traditional model

-of Mam, Dad and 2.4 children...

0:00:080:00:11

-..has all but disappeared.

0:00:110:00:13

-It has been replaced by an

-altogether more contemporary unit.

0:00:130:00:18

-One that's more complex

-and colourful than before.

0:00:180:00:21

-These are some of

-the modern Welsh family's stories.

0:00:220:00:25

-In percentage terms,

-there are more divorcees in Wales...

0:00:340:00:37

-..than anywhere else in Britain.

0:00:380:00:40

-One child in every three

-is brought up in a stepfamily.

0:00:400:00:45

-Erin is 16 years old.

0:00:480:00:50

-Like many young people today,

-she lives between two homes.

0:00:500:00:55

-I'm in Mam's house at the moment.

0:00:560:00:59

-She lives here with her boyfriend...

0:00:590:01:02

-..and my baby sister.

0:01:020:01:04

-Dad shares his home

-with my stepmother...

0:01:050:01:09

-..my two brothers

-and another sister.

0:01:090:01:14

-Who am I?

0:01:140:01:15

-Who am I?

-

-Erin.

0:01:150:01:16

-What am I?

0:01:160:01:18

-My sister.

0:01:190:01:21

-Lewis, say hiya.

0:01:210:01:22

-Lewis, say hiya.

-

-Hi.

0:01:220:01:24

-This is my bedroom at Dad's house.

0:01:240:01:27

-I share my room with

-my little sister at Dad's house.

0:01:270:01:32

-I've a bed next to her cot.

0:01:330:01:36

-Erin's parents

-separated more than 10 years ago.

0:01:410:01:45

-Since then, Erin's spent

-most of her time with her mother.

0:01:450:01:50

-It's just been Mam and me

-for as long as I can remember.

0:01:500:01:54

-I don't remember living with Dad.

0:01:540:01:57

-About three years ago...

0:01:570:01:59

-..everything changed.

0:02:000:02:02

-Mam found a boyfriend.

0:02:030:02:05

-It was difficult for me...

0:02:060:02:08

-..to come to terms with Mam...

0:02:090:02:11

-..having to divide all her time

-between two people.

0:02:110:02:16

-I didn't like that.

0:02:160:02:19

-But I don't expect Mam...

0:02:190:02:22

-..to be alone forever...

0:02:220:02:25

-..or surround herself with cats

-until she dies...

0:02:260:02:30

-..like a crazy cat lady!

0:02:300:02:32

-A few months ago,

-another major event happened...

0:02:330:02:36

-..that would change

-Erin's and her family's lives.

0:02:370:02:40

-I'm at the hospital now.

-I've come to visit Mam.

0:02:460:02:49

-Her waters broke

-at one o'clock yesterday morning...

0:02:490:02:52

-..but nothing's happened so far,

-so we're just waiting.

0:02:520:02:56

-This monitors the baby

-and the contractions.

0:02:570:03:01

-The nurse has just

-fully broken my mother's waters...

0:03:050:03:10

-..but she's only

-one centimetre dilated.

0:03:110:03:16

-It's going to be a long night.

0:03:160:03:19

-It's the following day.

0:03:260:03:28

-Mam's been here for 29 hours.

0:03:280:03:34

-They've just given her an epidural.

0:03:340:03:37

-She's about six centimetres dilated.

0:03:370:03:41

-We have to wait an hour

-before checking her again...

0:03:410:03:48

-..to see how far along she is.

0:03:480:03:52

-But hopefully

-the baby'll be here soon...

0:03:520:03:55

-..and we can all go home to sleep!

0:03:550:03:58

-The baby sister

-is as pretty as a picture!

0:04:040:04:07

-She came into the world

-at a very busy time in Erin's life.

0:04:080:04:12

-Science, Maths...

0:04:140:04:16

-..English, Welsh...

0:04:160:04:18

-..Religious Education.

0:04:180:04:20

-In less than a month...

0:04:210:04:23

-..she will sit her GCSEs.

0:04:240:04:26

-I hope to get

-good results in science and maths...

0:04:260:04:32

-..because

-I want to go to university...

0:04:320:04:35

-..to study forensic science.

0:04:350:04:40

-I'll be glad once they're over.

0:04:400:04:42

-In Cardiff, it's a big day

-for everyone in Bea's family.

0:04:530:04:57

-It's my big brother Alex's

-18th birthday.

0:04:580:05:03

-The entire family's

-coming over to celebrate.

0:05:040:05:09

-The family is somewhat complicated.

0:05:090:05:13

-That's my grandmother...

0:05:160:05:19

-..and my stepgrandfather Greg...

0:05:190:05:22

-..Mam, Imogen and me

-and my stepfather John.

0:05:220:05:26

-There he is.

0:05:260:05:29

-Mum, what time's Dad coming?

0:05:290:05:30

-Mum, what time's Dad coming?

-

-Eight.

0:05:300:05:32

-Bea's parents

-separated more then seven years ago.

0:05:380:05:42

-I was four years old...

0:05:430:05:46

-..and they said, "We're going

-to live apart from each other now.

0:05:460:05:53

-"That's how it's going to be."

0:05:530:05:56

-I didn't understand at all.

-I didn't know what it meant.

0:05:560:06:00

-When I was six, Mam

-explained again and I understood.

0:06:000:06:04

-One of the reasons Tim and I were

-so keen to have an amicable spilt...

0:06:060:06:11

-..and to work well together...

0:06:110:06:13

-..because we've seen

-so many other couples...

0:06:130:06:17

-..have a different scenario

-and outcome.

0:06:170:06:20

-We've seen the damage it can do

-to the children.

0:06:200:06:23

-You have to just, like...

0:06:230:06:27

-..accept the fact it's happening...

0:06:280:06:31

-..and not be sad about it

-because there's no point.

0:06:310:06:35

-Imogen, Bea, time to go!

0:06:350:06:37

-You need to take your clarinet

-and practise with Dad.

0:06:390:06:43

-Usually,

-the parents still like each other...

0:06:430:06:47

-..but they don't love each other.

0:06:470:06:50

-If parents still get on with each

-other, it helps the family a lot.

0:06:510:06:56

-Hello! Bye, darling.

0:06:570:07:01

-By now, Bea and her sister Imogen

-travel regularly...

0:07:010:07:05

-..between Mam and Dad's homes.

0:07:050:07:07

-Hello, Dad.

0:07:090:07:11

-This is Imogen's room.

0:07:130:07:15

-This is Imogen and here's Maggie.

0:07:170:07:20

-She's very crazy.

0:07:200:07:22

-This is my bedroom.

0:07:220:07:24

-I like my room in Dad's house...

0:07:250:07:29

-..because it has a little television

-and Maggie likes to come in...

0:07:290:07:34

-..and lie on the bed.

0:07:340:07:36

-I stay here on Tuesday nights

-and over the weekend.

0:07:360:07:42

-We swap over on weekends.

0:07:430:07:45

-What's happened to the music?

0:07:450:07:47

-What's happened to the music?

-

-I don't know.

0:07:470:07:49

-It can be confusing

-living in two homes sometimes...

0:07:500:07:55

-..because you don't know which house

-you're sleeping at that night.

0:07:550:08:00

-But if you forget something, Mam or

-Dad brings it around and it's fine.

0:08:000:08:05

-What are we going to do then?

0:08:050:08:07

-It's important to have

-a good relationship with your ex...

0:08:120:08:15

-..because

-it's the civilised thing to do.

0:08:150:08:18

-# Ave Maria by Franz Schubert #

0:08:180:08:21

-You have to find a way

-of making that work.

0:08:210:08:24

-Children need to know

-they have their parents' support.

0:08:240:08:28

-If that's always

-your starting point...

0:08:280:08:31

-..I don't think

-you'll ever go very far wrong.

0:08:310:08:34

-PLAYS WRONG NOTE

0:08:370:08:39

-We both went a bit wrong there!

0:08:390:08:41

-There's no bad feeling between

-Mam and Dad or anything like that.

0:08:440:08:48

-Hello!

0:08:520:08:53

-The entire family

-does things together.

0:08:540:08:57

-There's Alex, my brother.

0:09:040:09:06

-There's Imogen, my sister.

0:09:060:09:08

-There's Sarah, my stepmother.

0:09:080:09:11

-There's John, my stepfather.

0:09:110:09:13

-There's my father.

0:09:150:09:17

-There's Greg, my stepgrandfather.

0:09:170:09:20

-There's my grandmother

-and there's my mother.

0:09:200:09:23

-# Happy birthday to you

0:09:260:09:28

-# Happy birthday to you

0:09:290:09:32

-# Happy birthday, Alex and Greg

0:09:320:09:36

-# Happy birthday to you #

0:09:360:09:39

-Hooray!

0:09:400:09:42

-But not all stepfamilies

-are formed after a divorce.

0:09:450:09:49

-Angela

-is my birth mother's sister...

0:09:500:09:54

-..and then Mom and Dad

-are my mother's parents.

0:09:540:09:59

-This is getting confusing.

0:10:000:10:02

-Caitlin is one of Bea's

-best friends. She has two mothers.

0:10:020:10:07

-Sometimes when people mention Mam...

0:10:080:10:10

-..I always say to them, 'Which Mam?'

0:10:110:10:14

-Sometimes I don't know

-which one they're talking about.

0:10:140:10:18

-You two!

0:10:190:10:21

-Mam is my stepmother...

0:10:230:10:26

-..because when I was a year old...

0:10:260:10:30

-..my mother died.

0:10:300:10:33

-Caitlin's birth mother...

0:10:380:10:40

-..and Elin, Caitlin's stepmother,

-were best friends.

0:10:400:10:45

-Caitlin's mother Nicola and I

-were friends...

0:10:450:10:48

-..before Caitlin was born.

0:10:480:10:50

-We met when we worked together

-as students at Cardiff University.

0:10:510:10:55

-We instantly struck up a friendship.

0:10:560:11:00

-This is a box full of things...

0:11:000:11:05

-..my mother liked...

0:11:060:11:08

-..and photographs of her.

0:11:090:11:11

-That's my mother after

-just finding out she was pregnant.

0:11:140:11:20

-Is that you?

0:11:200:11:22

-Yes.

0:11:230:11:25

-I remember Nicola coming to my

-office to tell me she was pregnant.

0:11:250:11:29

-She was 36 when she fell pregnant.

0:11:300:11:33

-She'd been trying for a while,

-so she was really excited about it.

0:11:330:11:38

-There's me in my mother's tummy.

0:11:380:11:41

-My mother's growing belly.

0:11:430:11:45

-I remember Caitlin being born...

0:11:450:11:48

-..and going to see her -

-she had a mop of black hair.

0:11:480:11:53

-There's me, when I came out.

0:11:530:11:57

-But for Nicola and the family...

0:12:010:12:03

-..the celebrations were short lived.

0:12:040:12:06

-I remember Nicola returning to work

-after maternity leave...

0:12:070:12:10

-..and of her saying

-she had severe headaches.

0:12:110:12:13

-I joked about it, saying,

-"You're missing Caitlin."

0:12:140:12:17

-"No, it's the stress

-of going back to work."

0:12:170:12:21

-But, of course,

-it was more than that.

0:12:210:12:24

-I urged her

-to go back to her doctor.

0:12:240:12:28

-Specialists discovered

-that Nicola had a brain tumour.

0:12:280:12:32

-She died when Caitlin

-was a year and a half old.

0:12:350:12:38

-My mother was really good at sewing.

0:12:430:12:45

-She started to make this.

0:12:460:12:48

-She started this

-but never finished it.

-Caitlin and her stepmother Elin

-have a special relationship.

0:13:130:13:18

-My mother died...

0:13:200:13:23

-..and Mam

-started going out with my father...

0:13:230:13:27

-..and they got married.

0:13:270:13:29

-When I started looking after her,

-I wasn't prepared...

0:13:300:13:33

-..for motherhood,

-but things happened.

0:13:330:13:37

-I can't imagine life

-without Caitlin now.

0:13:370:13:41

-Today is a big day

-for Elin and Caitlin.

0:13:460:13:49

-I'm getting ready

-for a gymnastics competition.

0:13:490:13:54

-I started gymnastics

-when I was about three years old.

0:13:550:13:59

-I've been doing it ever since then.

0:14:010:14:03

-I've won lots of medals.

0:14:050:14:08

-The big decision for Caitlin

-and her friends today...

0:14:120:14:15

-..is how to style their hair.

0:14:150:14:17

-We all decided...

0:14:180:14:20

-..what to wear in our hair...

0:14:210:14:23

-..and then we told

-one of the mothers...

0:14:230:14:27

-..so she could style it for us.

0:14:270:14:30

-Caitlin says

-I don't do it neat enough.

0:14:300:14:33

-You can't do it.

0:14:330:14:35

-Eurgh!

0:14:360:14:37

-Eurgh!

-

-Sorry.

0:14:370:14:38

-But Caitlin admits

-her stepmother has other qualities.

0:14:390:14:43

-She can be bossy

-but she's really nice.

0:14:430:14:49

-Right. Happy?

0:14:490:14:52

-If Dad hadn't married Mam...

0:14:550:14:58

-..I don't think

-I'd be going to gymnastics...

0:15:000:15:04

-..or dancing clubs

-and things like that.

0:15:050:15:09

-In Conwy, Erin is busy preparing

-for her GCSE exams.

0:15:120:15:18

-This is the result

-I'm stressing out about the most...

0:15:200:15:25

-..because I really

-don't want to resit maths.

0:15:250:15:29

-That would be my worst nightmare.

0:15:290:15:32

-But it's difficult to revise...

0:15:330:15:36

-..as well as look after

-her new baby sister.

0:15:360:15:39

-Oh, what's the matter?

0:15:400:15:42

-BABY CRIES

0:15:420:15:44

-It's kind of stressful. You

-have to follow the right routine.

0:15:450:15:49

-The baby has to do this,

-the baby needs a bath.

0:15:490:15:52

-Everything has to be sorted.

0:15:520:15:55

-You have to be quiet

-after a certain time.

0:15:560:16:00

-What's the matter?

0:16:000:16:03

-It's difficult trying

-to do everything at the same time.

0:16:050:16:09

-It really is.

0:16:090:16:12

-In Cardiff,

-this is Caitlin's chance to shine.

0:16:190:16:23

-I'm nervous

-but I'm really excited too.

0:16:230:16:27

-Elin and Dad are always supportive,

-but at times like these...

0:16:360:16:40

-..Caitlin's thoughts turn to

-the past and her birth mother.

0:16:400:16:46

-Sometimes when I compete

-in competitions and so on...

0:16:460:16:51

-..I think about

-what she would've been like...

0:16:510:16:55

-..if she were here now.

0:16:550:16:57

-Would she be proud of me?

-Would she cry? Would she be happy?

0:17:020:17:06

-I don't know.

0:17:060:17:08

-I was really nervous

-because I'd done something new.

0:17:150:17:20

-I was afraid I'd fall...

0:17:200:17:23

-..but it was good in the end.

0:17:230:17:28

-But what about the result?

0:17:310:17:33

-In third position...

0:17:340:17:36

-..Caitlin Boyle.

0:17:360:17:38

-Two medals for Caitlin.

0:17:400:17:42

-And a cwtsh from Mam.

0:17:470:17:49

-Today is GCSE results day for Erin.

0:17:570:18:00

-I don't want to go and get them.

0:18:030:18:06

-I really don't. I'm quite nervous.

0:18:070:18:10

-It's stressful being up so late...

0:18:110:18:15

-..revising stuff

-I still don't understand.

0:18:150:18:19

-It felt like

-I was having a breakdown.

0:18:200:18:22

-I just wanted to cry

-about everything.

0:18:230:18:26

-Hi, Erin.

0:18:290:18:30

-Hi, Erin.

-

-Hiya.

0:18:300:18:31

-Good results

-would make me feel so happy.

0:18:320:18:36

-It would make my family

-really proud of me.

0:18:370:18:41

-That would be nice.

0:18:410:18:43

-Are you ready?

0:18:430:18:45

-I think so.

0:18:450:18:47

-Are you sure? The grades in bold

-are the grades you've been awarded.

-I'm walking over

-to my best friend's house...

0:20:000:20:05

-..and we're both

-walking to school together.

0:20:050:20:10

-I just want to see her

-dressed in her school uniform.

0:20:110:20:15

-for another reason too.

0:20:150:20:18

-It's my birthday.

0:20:180:20:20

0:20:260:20:28

-One, two, three.

0:20:290:20:30

-As a sign of maturity, Caitlin's

-been given a special present.

0:20:320:20:37

-Mam's given me the door key.

0:20:380:20:41

-The house key on a keyring.

0:20:410:20:45

-For her stepmother Elin,

-it's a day of mixed emotions.

0:20:490:20:54

-I feel sad because it's an

-important milestone for Caitlin....

0:20:550:21:00

-..and her mother's

-not here to see it.

0:21:000:21:02

-I didn't think

-it'd affect me as much as it has.

0:21:030:21:06

-Enjoy yourself.

-Listen to the teachers.

0:21:090:21:12

-Speak Welsh.

0:21:120:21:14

-Ta-ra, Twts.

0:21:140:21:16

-Ta-ra, Twts.

-

-Ta-ra.

0:21:160:21:18

-Good luck!

0:21:180:21:21

-It's been

-a privilege raising Caitlin...

0:21:210:21:25

-..after knowing her mother so well.

0:21:250:21:28

-Every decision

-I make for Caitlin...

0:21:290:21:31

-..I think,

-'Would Nic be happy with this?'

0:21:310:21:34

-I can't believe

-we're actually walking to school.

0:21:360:21:40

-To join in Caitlin's

-The two grandmothers.

0:21:520:21:54

-It's Caitlin's day.

0:21:540:21:57

0:21:570:22:00

-I can't believe she's 12 already.

0:22:010:22:03

0:22:100:22:12

0:22:150:22:18

-I miss Nicola, mind you.

0:22:180:22:20

-But Elin's been so good.

0:22:210:22:23

-If Caitlin has something on,

-Elin phones me straightaway.

0:22:240:22:28

-"Are you coming up, Val?"

0:22:280:22:30

-She's been great.

0:22:300:22:33

-Hello. How are you?

0:22:340:22:37

-I miss Nicola

-but her spirit lives on in Caitlin.

0:22:370:22:42

-She's given me a granddaughter.

0:22:420:22:45

-How are you, sweetheart?

0:22:460:22:49

-That's all you can say.
