Abstract
In the previous chapter, we heard the stories of Ivy and Yukinori, both young people. This chapter offers a voice to adult only-children who have contacted me through the website to share their life-stories. I have used these stories to illustrate that certain life-stages hold particular challenges for only-children as discussed in Chapter 4. The life-stages have been divided into six headings which denote the inter-personal relationships that are central to each stage.
