About Project 12: Keep Balanced, and Enjoy!

        Evolving high-nurturance stepfamily relationships is unsteadily complex, confusing, conflictual, and periodically chaotic for average  adults and kids. Typical co-parents and kids in new stepfamilies have several dozen alien needs to fill concurrently, with little experience or informed help - while "normal life" continues every day. One result is that typical co-parents have a higher need than intact-biofamily adults to intentionally help each other every day to stay balanced in their skins (personalities), marriage/s, homes, and nuclear stepfamilies. This requires co-parents' (a) true Selves to be in charge, and (b) shared awarenesses and fluency with Project-2 communication skills. 

        The second half of Project 12 is to intentionally help each other ap-preciate the good things and enjoy the challenging multi-task process of forging stable, satisfying stepfamily roles and relationships over many years - a day at a time!
