If you ask someone who grew up as an only child if they have often
talked about the experience to other onlies, they’ll most
probably say no, and anyway it wasn’t a problem, so it never
occurred to them to talk about it! Problem or no problem, the conversation
between only children about the experience of being an only child
is something new and it’s good.
It’s a relief to find that others feel some of
the same things. And even if our experiences were different, there
is a sense of kinship between onlies, which can be surprising and
most welcome.
The BeingAnOnly Online Community is a unique opportunity
to start or continue your conversation with those most likely to
understand. Indulge your curiosity now.
