Mom, Dad and Her (also called Just Breathe) is a 2008 television film directed by Anne Wheeler starring Melora Hardin and Paul McGillion. It was filmed in Fort Langley, Langley Township, British Columbia, Canada.

A bitter teen (Sydney), from a broken home, is sent to live with her remarried father (Ben), who hopes to make amends with his daughter as he moves on with his new wife (Emma) and baby. At first, Sydney lashes out, feeling abandoned yet again. Sydney misses her boyfriend, her city life and doesn't get on with her dad or stepmom. She unexpectedly finds herself connecting with her new stepmother, who is nervously expecting her first child. Slowly she starts to settle in as she makes friends with Jess, a local girl whose mother died of cancer. However, it is the relationship with her stepmother, and the birth of the new baby that finally heals the wounds left by her parents’ bitter divorce.
