-The Welsh family is changing.

0:00:020:00:04

-Over the past 50 years...

0:00:060:00:07

-..the traditional image of Mam, Dad

-and two children has been shattered.

0:00:070:00:12

-Another image has replaced it.

0:00:120:00:15

-An image of a more modern, more

-complex and more colourful family.

0:00:150:00:21

-Here are some of the stories

-of the modern Welsh family.

0:00:210:00:25

-Today, there are over

-11,000 young carers in Wales.

0:00:350:00:39

-Children who care

-for a family member who's ill.

0:00:410:00:44

-My name is Garmon. I'm 13 years old.

0:00:490:00:52

-I live with Mam, Dad,

-my brother and sister.

0:00:520:00:55

-Through their work...

0:00:580:00:59

-..young carers save the Government

-millions of pounds each year.

0:01:000:01:04

-I help Mam and Dad

-because Dad has a bad leg...

0:01:050:01:08

-..and Mam has panic attacks.

0:01:080:01:10

-These are the hidden helpers

-who subsidise the welfare state.

0:01:100:01:17

-When I grow up and move out,

-no-one will look after Mam and Dad.

0:01:170:01:22

-That worries me sometimes.

0:01:220:01:26

-There'll be no-one

-to look after them.

0:01:260:01:29

-I don't know what we'd do

-without Garmon Jac to look after us.

0:01:310:01:36

-Dear me.

0:01:360:01:37

-Mam and I wouldn't be able to cope,

-we'd be nothing, nothing.

0:01:370:01:44

-# Happy birthday to you

0:01:440:01:48

-# Happy birthday to you

0:01:480:01:51

-# Happy birthday to Garmon... #

0:01:520:01:56

-For the past 20 years...

0:01:560:01:57

-..Garmon's parents

-have had problems with their health.

0:01:580:02:01

-They've relied on their children

-to help them on a daily basis.

0:02:010:02:05

-We'd be stuck

-without the three of them.

0:02:080:02:12

-They're life-savers, aren't they?

0:02:130:02:15

-Yeah.

0:02:150:02:16

-Anwen suffers with depression.

0:02:200:02:23

-I never thought I'd be able

-to have children.

0:02:230:02:26

-About three months

-before we got married...

0:02:290:02:33

-..we found out that I was expecting.

0:02:330:02:37

-That helped.

0:02:370:02:38

-It was as if the hormones were

-helping me overcome the depression.

0:02:390:02:46

-The depression returned.

0:02:480:02:50

-I've been in and out of hospital

-over the past five years.

0:02:500:02:54

-This is our wedding album.

0:02:580:03:01

-Our children have never seen it.

0:03:010:03:05

-We'll just flick through it.

0:03:070:03:09

-It was such a windy day.

0:03:100:03:14

-My veil went everywhere.

0:03:150:03:19

-There's a photo of myself and Dad

-ready to get into the car...

0:03:190:03:24

-..and the veil

-is blowing in the wind.

0:03:240:03:28

-A photo of Dad giving me a kiss.

0:03:300:03:34

-This is weird.

0:03:340:03:36

-This was before I was born.

0:03:360:03:38

-You were three months old...

0:03:380:03:41

-I know, I was in there.

-I'm in all the pictures.

0:03:410:03:44

-You were in my belly!

0:03:440:03:46

-I was looking forward

-to enjoying my old age.

0:03:460:03:50

-I'm 20 years older than Anwen.

0:03:500:03:53

-I was looking forward

-to enjoying my life...

0:03:530:03:57

-..in peace and quiet.

0:03:570:03:59

-No suck luck! We had a load

-of blinkin' children instead.

0:04:010:04:05

-Noisy children

-stomping around the place.

0:04:050:04:08

-They're lovely children.

0:04:120:04:14

-I'm taking them to school.

0:04:230:04:26

-I'll get some peace at home now.

0:04:260:04:29

-Every morning,

-while the children attend school...

0:04:360:04:40

-..Mick and Anwen go for a cuppa.

0:04:400:04:43

-Garmon's the one

-who gives us a cuddle.

0:04:440:04:48

-Yeah.

0:04:480:04:49

-Yeah.

-

-He asks if we're alright.

0:04:490:04:51

-When I was in hospital two months

-ago, in a psychiatric ward...

0:04:520:04:57

-..Garmon came in and I was crying.

0:04:570:05:01

-He sat on my lap.

0:05:010:05:03

-He gave me a cuddle.

0:05:040:05:06

-He was with me

-and I was just crying.

0:05:060:05:08

-I was so depressed.

0:05:100:05:12

-He sat on my lap

-and gave me a cuddle.

0:05:120:05:15

-He was there for about

-ten minutes, just saying...

0:05:150:05:18

-.."It's OK, Mam, we'll go out

-for a coffee some time."

0:05:190:05:22

-It's a big thing for a child

-of that age to understand.

0:05:240:05:29

-When I wake up, Dad or Mam will ask

-for a cup of tea so I'll make it.

0:05:310:05:36

-Then I'll do my chores.

0:05:360:05:38

-You'll have to put the rubbish out

-in a minute.

0:05:390:05:42

-Just the bucket and recycling today.

0:05:440:05:46

-OK, bach?

0:05:480:05:49

-OK, bach?

-

-Yes.

0:05:490:05:50

-Yeah, yeah, good boy.

0:05:530:05:55

-I clean the toilets,

-I tidy up in there, I help.

0:05:580:06:03

-Mam and Dad trust me to be there.

0:06:040:06:08

-Good boy, Garmon. Thank you.

0:06:090:06:12

-Mick has been disabled

-since before Garmon was born.

0:06:140:06:18

-I don't remember Dad being healthy.

0:06:200:06:23

-He has these holes in his legs.

0:06:230:06:26

-They're disgusting.

0:06:260:06:28

-It's really painful for him.

0:06:290:06:31

-He can't walk.

0:06:310:06:33

-It's really difficult.

0:06:330:06:36

-Initially, it was osteoarthritis.

0:06:370:06:40

-It was two bones

-rubbing against each other.

0:06:400:06:43

-I had a knee replacement.

0:06:460:06:48

-That worked for five years...

0:06:490:06:51

-..until it came loose

-because of an infection.

0:06:510:06:55

-I had a second knee replacement.

0:06:550:06:57

-And then I was OK for a while.

0:06:580:07:02

-That's how it was over the years,

-really.

0:07:020:07:06

-Anwen's problems

-aren't limited to depression.

0:07:090:07:12

-I'm epileptic.

0:07:160:07:18

-I have to take care when I'm

-using the kettle and the oven.

0:07:180:07:25

-Garmon is mostly responsible

-for making us cups of tea.

0:07:250:07:32

-He's good. He'll come downstairs and

-he'll make a cuppa for both of us.

0:07:340:07:39

-"Oh, OK then," he says.

0:07:390:07:41

-He always makes them,

-fair play to him.

0:07:420:07:45

-As well as looking after

-Mam and Dad...

0:07:460:07:49

-..Garmon also pays special attention

-to his brother, who's autistic.

0:07:500:07:55

-Gwion can be very nasty to me.

0:07:550:07:57

-Because of his autism,

-I don't think he realises that.

0:07:580:08:02

-I don't fully blame him.

0:08:020:08:04

-This is Rhian's room. That door.

0:08:090:08:12

-This is the toilet. The fancy door.

0:08:120:08:16

-This is the airing cupboard.

-This is Gwion's room.

0:08:160:08:19

-I used to be in there, but now

-I'm in here with Mam and Dad.

0:08:200:08:24

-This is my room.

0:08:240:08:26

-That's my bed,

-down there, on the floor.

0:08:270:08:30

-This is Mam and Dad's bed.

0:08:300:08:32

-They used to share a room.

0:08:340:08:36

-Because of Gwion's autism...

0:08:360:08:40

-..he didn't give Garmon

-any personal space.

0:08:400:08:47

-There were so many arguments...

0:08:480:08:51

-..we decided to remove Garmon

-from the room...

0:08:510:08:54

-..and he's now in our room.

0:08:540:08:56

-I want my own room.

0:08:570:08:59

-Being in here is OK...

0:09:010:09:04

-..but it's not OK OK.

0:09:040:09:06

-We've applied

-for a four-bedroom house.

0:09:070:09:11

-Of course, the supply

-of four-bedroom houses is limited.

0:09:110:09:16

-Sometimes, I hide behind this chair.

0:09:170:09:19

-Then no-one can see me

-and no-one can interrupt me.

0:09:200:09:25

-# I said that's life

0:09:250:09:29

-# And as funny as it may seem... #

0:09:290:09:33

-One thing that Garmon and Gwion

-enjoy doing is performing.

0:09:330:09:37

-I like dancing.

0:09:370:09:39

-I feel alive.

0:09:390:09:42

-When I'm home...

0:09:450:09:48

-..I'm sometimes happy

-and sometimes sad.

0:09:480:09:52

-When I'm dancing, I'm always happy.

0:09:520:09:54

-These are the things I've done

-since I've been on this planet.

0:09:560:10:02

-Eight pantomimes.

0:10:040:10:06

-Mother Goose, Jack and the

-Beanstalk, Cinderella, Robin Hood...

0:10:060:10:10

-..Aladdin, Dick Whittington

-and the Pirate of the Caribbean...

0:10:100:10:14

-..and Snow White

-and The Seven Dwarves.

0:10:150:10:17

-Four musicals

-and I'm preparing for one right now.

0:10:170:10:20

-The children, Gwion and Garmon...

0:10:210:10:23

-..they're in a dance show.

0:10:250:10:27

-Gwion has worked out precisely...

0:10:290:10:34

-..how I can watch the show...

0:10:340:10:36

-..without there being

-a large crowd around me.

0:10:360:10:40

-It's difficult for Mam and Dad

-to watch me when I'm on stage.

0:10:440:10:49

-Mam gets panic attacks and Dad will

-be in too much pain with his legs.

0:10:490:10:55

-I've performed

-Gustav Mahler's Eighth Symphony...

0:10:550:11:00

-..at the Mariinsky Theatre

-in Russia...

0:11:000:11:03

-..and the Millennium Centre

-in Cardiff.

0:11:040:11:07

-At the moment, touch wood...

0:11:080:11:10

-..touch wood...

0:11:120:11:14

-..things aren't too bad.

0:11:140:11:16

-When I get depressed...

0:11:160:11:19

-..I just lie on the sofa

-or go up to bed.

0:11:190:11:23

-I don't want to see anyone.

0:11:250:11:27

-When I'm like that...

0:11:270:11:29

-..they think...

0:11:290:11:32

-..I have no interest

-in their lives...

0:11:320:11:35

-..even though they know I'm ill.

0:11:350:11:37

-When I have respite

-from the depression...

0:11:390:11:44

-..I think it's important for me

-to push my boundaries.

0:11:460:11:52

-I watch them if I can.

0:11:530:11:54

-Tonight is the opening night

-of Garmon and Gwion's show.

0:11:580:12:03

-I really want to turn around

-and not go.

0:12:050:12:08

-Before the show has even started.

-Anwen feels the strain.

0:12:200:12:24

-As the auditorium fills up,

-she goes from bad to worse.

0:12:410:12:46

-By the end of the first act,

-it's too much for Anwen.

0:13:060:13:11

-I was shaking, I was sweating.

0:13:130:13:15

-I just couldn't do it.

0:13:170:13:19

-It's so difficult.

0:13:190:13:22

-Just doing something normal.

-Good morning.

0:13:420:13:44

-What's this?

0:13:440:13:45

-A tent.

0:13:450:13:46

-Where's Garmon this morning?

-He's just come out of his tent.

0:13:460:13:51

-He's slept several nights

-in his tent.

0:13:520:13:55

-I've put a mattress inside.

0:13:550:13:58

-I have an extension cord

-to charge my phone...

0:13:580:14:02

-..and play on it.

0:14:020:14:04

-Last night,

-he turned to me and said...

0:14:040:14:08

-.."I'm sleeping in the tent, Mam.

0:14:080:14:12

-"I want you and Dad

-to have a bed to sleep in."

0:14:120:14:17

-I said, "You don't have to do that.

-It's your room, not Mam and Dad's."

0:14:170:14:22

-We've been coming down to sleep

-in the living room.

0:14:230:14:27

-He has his own bedroom,

-our old room.

0:14:290:14:35

-He's still thinking about us.

0:14:350:14:37

-He sleeps in the tent now...

0:14:370:14:39

-..and we have the luxury

-of having the mattress in his room.

0:14:400:14:44

-This morning, Anwen's food shopping

-for the family.

0:14:490:14:53

-Garmon's coming with me.

0:14:540:14:56

-I'm nervous

-before we've even left home.

0:14:590:15:02

-One day, when Mam is better...

0:15:050:15:09

-..and I can go places...

0:15:090:15:11

-..we'll come here to have a meal.

0:15:110:15:14

-OK?

0:15:140:15:15

-Lettuce, pepper, ham, salad cream,

-Nutella, water, carrots, peaches.

0:15:150:15:20

-Peaches, peaches, where are they?

0:15:210:15:24

-Tangerines.

0:15:240:15:26

-Soon, panic sets in.

0:15:270:15:30

-Nutella.

0:15:300:15:32

-Salad cream, salad cream.

0:15:350:15:37

-Do you want to go outside, Mam?

0:15:370:15:39

-Um, no, I'll stay here.

0:15:390:15:42

-Where's the salad cream?

0:15:420:15:44

-Let's go down here.

0:15:470:15:49

-We'll have to leave the salad cream.

0:15:500:15:53

-When we're paying,

-do you want to go outside?

0:15:550:15:58

-I'll give you the money.

0:15:580:16:01

-Um...

0:16:080:16:10

-If you can...

0:16:100:16:12

-..look for salad cream.

0:16:130:16:15

-Pay for everything

-and we'll sort it out outside.

0:16:150:16:18

-See you outside.

0:16:180:16:20

-This makes me feel so upset.

0:16:360:16:38

-OK, Mam?

0:16:430:16:45

-Hello, Dad.

0:16:560:16:58

-Hello. We're in Morrisons.

0:16:580:17:02

-Mam's like, she's...

0:17:040:17:06

-..you know, Mam...

0:17:060:17:08

-OK.

0:17:090:17:10

-Ta-ra.

0:17:100:17:12

-Sorry, love.

0:17:150:17:17

-OK.

0:17:170:17:19

-I found the salad cream.

0:17:190:17:21

-Good boy.

0:17:210:17:22

-Here's Dad.

0:17:230:17:25

-Come on, mate. OK?

0:17:350:17:38

-I hope I'm better tonight.

0:17:400:17:42

-No-one knows what...

0:17:430:17:46

-..what a panic attack is like.

0:17:460:17:49

-I panicked.

-I couldn't find the salad cream.

0:17:490:17:53

-I feel better.

0:18:070:18:09

-It's good to be home.

0:18:090:18:11

-For Anwen and Mick, life revolves

-around hospital visits.

0:18:230:18:29

-Today, it's Mick's turn.

0:18:360:18:38

-We're going up to see

-the consultant.

0:18:390:18:42

-Mick was meant to have an operation

-in February.

0:18:420:18:48

-Mick's had numerous operations

-on his knee.

0:18:510:18:54

-None have been successful.

0:18:550:18:57

-The scar and the bone

-are both infected now.

0:18:570:19:01

-Every time he walks...

0:19:010:19:05

-..he's in excruciating pain.

0:19:060:19:09

-I hope they tell us today...

0:19:100:19:13

-..that it's an emergency...

0:19:130:19:16

-..and he can have

-his operation soon.

0:19:160:19:22

-If they examine his leg...

0:19:230:19:28

-..and find too much infection...

0:19:280:19:32

-..they have said

-they might need to amputate it.

0:19:320:19:37

-I think the children

-are starting to realise...

0:19:470:19:51

-..the pain that he's in.

0:19:510:19:54

-I try to tell them...

0:19:540:19:57

-..that we can't go anywhere...

0:19:570:19:59

-..because Dad is in so much pain.

0:20:000:20:03

-They see their friends

-going away for the day...

0:20:030:20:07

-..they go off on their holidays...

0:20:080:20:10

-..and our children do feel it.

-We can't do anything

-about the situation...

-Here we go.

0:21:060:21:09

0:21:160:21:18

-I'm worried about Dad,

-they might amputate his leg.

0:21:340:21:38

0:21:380:21:42

-He's not been able

-to kick a ball with them.

0:22:150:22:19

-He's not half the man he was.

0:22:190:22:21

-of the children and him...

0:22:240:22:27

-as possible as soon as possible."

0:22:550:22:59
