Up To Parents

I meant to mention this website earlier in the week. Up To Parents describes itself as:

A free, confidential, and interactive website
for divorcing and divorced parents

If you are a divorcing or divorced parent, you will find on this unique website your best defense against unnecessary hurt, turmoil, and expense:

focusing on protecting your children.
The FAQ page goes a bit further:
1. "What exactly are these websites?"

Ans. The three websites are unique tools to help parents through difficult transitions. Divorcing and divorced parents can find help at www.UpToParents.org. Parents never married to each other can find help at www.ProudToParent.org. Parents intending to stay married but wishing to remember their children's needs as they work through marital problems can be helped by www.WhileWeHeal.org.

Each of the websites is a chance for parents to take an interactive timeout from their conflict to consider 50 Commitments they could make to their children in periods of conflict and stress. Our experience in working with hundreds of families is that children have critical needs at such times, that only parents can effectively answer those needs, and that parents come out much better themselves when they make protecting children their highest priority.

I have not seen enough other to say that I find the concept interesting and since it might be of some help to you, I pass it along.
