Most of us have some vague expectations of how our lives are going to pan out and being a single parent or a step parent was probably not among them when we started out. While we don’t want to be defined by our role, it does raise particular issues that we have to deal with. OneUp has been designed as a resource that offers a sense of community to single parents and step parents. Explore, enjoy and, if the spirit takes you, join in.
