Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Work 12 hours. Come home have dh say what should we have for dinner? He pulls somethong out of the freezer and says how do you cook this. And I just spent 20 minutes scrubbing whatever the hell sbrat smeared all over the tub so I could shower.
I dreaded that Sh*t! I can't
I dreaded that Sh*t! I can't believe you got a whole ten minutes!!!
Mine lasted the walk from the
Mine lasted the walk from the front door at work to the car. Dh pick up sshits then came and got me. Been frickn fighting and bickering like a bunch of bitches all evening. Asked sshit15 to wash his dinner dish and you thought I had asked him to clean out a septic tank naked. Fuck I hate the weekend!
Haven't spoken to dh in
Haven't spoken to dh in almost 12 hours. Eff this effing weekend. And the so called antibiotics BM sent are not antibiotics. Which makes me wonder wtf is really going on. I hate skid weekend.
I am the one picking a fight he says now. Maybe I am. Idk. Just feeling like when this kid shows up I get two kids and lose a husband.
Sorry to hear this! I know
Sorry to hear this! I know exactly what you mean. I kiss my amazing husband goodbye before he goes to pick up SD from her karate class every other Friday and then about a half hour later an edgy, snappy, grouch come snarling back in the door with SD on his heels. The fighting sometimes starts before he even looks at me or talks to me. Sucks...
Mine gets instantly
Mine gets instantly defensive, like he's got to protect SS7 from everyone while he is there because his mom is a joke. Yes, I think she is a real idiot too, but I don't think she is as neglectful as he make her out to be. DH says SS gets to run free and do whatever he wants while he is with her. I think, WTF do you call what you let him do here then? She at least seems to attempt to give him some rules regardless of how stupid....can't believe I sound like I am agreeing with her....No my bio sons are not perfect, but I also don't claim they are. In fact, S12 is a brat a lot and spends more time trying to get out of doing things than he would to actually do them. I blame it partially on his age, a little on his dad and definitely on me and am doing all I can to help fix it, but it doesn't happen over night.
