I'm very sorry, Terri, but Christmas films in March is just WRONG!

I've only ever made flapjacks once and they stuck together as they should. That recipe didn't include condensed milk though, just ordinary cream and syrup. It sounds like the can you had was dulce de leche. It's actually related to condensed milk! If you boil an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in lots of water for a while you'll end up with tinned caramel. These days they sell it in the stores so you don't have to make it yourself. The cans look really similar - at least the brand they sell here in Sweden - so it's easy to pick the wrong one by mistake. Anyway, I hope the flapjacks stuck together properly!

That sounds very worrying about your MiL! I'll keep everything crossed it's not Covid and that she'll start getting better soon.
