BREAK THE [WOUNDS + UNAWARENESS] CYCLE!

First, thanks for this great research!

I found this site while looking for "step family resources" online, and as I started reading, I began to realize that I need to put first-things-first. I'd better examine myself before making a big move in my life or my kids. So, I started with the first project, and it's already been enlightening in some areas that I have never understood about myself.

I have been in counseling for years and haven't gotten to the bottom of some issues which I KNOW effect me and my kids, but I don't know what to do with it! In just a few days of starting Project 1, I have started to experience some movement in these issues that I have been stuck on for years! I am SO THANKFUL!

Anyway, back to the subject at hand, I really look forward to using these tools to enlighten myself and my boyfriend and hopefully to make the right (better) decisions for myself and my family in the future.

Hey Sunshine - I cheer you on! I encourage you and your BF to use Lessons 1 thru 7, so you two can help each other make wise relationship and co-parenting choices. Ideally, your ex will do the same for your kids' sakes. I'm glad you're starting to "move" - it takes courage and patience, but is well worth those invstments. If you have questions along the way, post them here - many will learn from you! - Pete
