Family estrangement affects an estimated one in five families in the UK, yet still remains largely hidden and unspoken.

Parallel Lives is Chloe’s story - about growing up with a violent mother, the weight that carries and the quiet, complicated grief of mourning a relationship with someone who is still alive.

Please note this episode talks about domestic abuse and violence.
