OnetoOne: 21.2.12 Yasmin Alibhai-Brown talks to a grandmother who hasn't seen her grandchild for years.

Summary: The journalist and broadcaster Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has chosen, for personal reasons, to explore the impact of divorce on families. Yasmin divorced over twenty years ago, and - although happily re-married - often contemplates the fall-out of divorce, and the resulting emotional ripples which reach further than the separating couple. Over three editions of One to One, she's hearing the stories of a grandparent, a parent and a young person who have all lived through a family break-up In this, the first programme, she speaks to Jane, a grandparent who hasn't seen her 11 year old granddaughter for four years. When her son divorced he maintained a relationship with his ex-wife which allowed contact with his daughter - Jane's granddaughter. But eventually that contact was withdrawn, resulting in what Jane describes as a living bereavement.
