Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

The Telegraph is keen to interview a mother who no longer gets to spend much time with their adult son and very much misses them. This could be done anonymously.

Do you see them infrequently or not as much as you'd like, or maybe barely at all? Does this make you feel sad, emotional, even irritated or angry? And do you feel you can address it with them? Are you caught between understanding they have a busy life to lead and you need to let them go, but wanting more and feeling you wish they'd make more effort? Maybe your friends are going through similar experiences - or conversely you see them spending more time with their own son which is hard?

This would involve a telephone interview and ideally a photograph taken from the back or in some way that retains anonymity.
