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

Yeah, bm used to get mad when
Yeah, bm used to get mad when we quoted our state guidelines for visitation with her-she didn't want to follow them. The funny thing is she took us to court because she wanted to follow the guidelines.
NO ours just swears that hers
NO ours just swears that hers says the opposite. Then she says that he must be looking at the wrong one b/c hers says blah. :?
LOL! Thats one Ive never
LOL! Thats one Ive never heard! Better not give her any ideas
OMG!! Ours does the same
OMG!! Ours does the same thing. And when she isnt doing that, she tried to convince us that the court order is just a "guideline." Except for child support, of course. Anything that pertains to DH having to give her money is set in stone; anything that implies she might have to get off her cracky ass and do something is just a "suggestion."
I know my DH has to be so embarrased sometimes that he was married to that.
I forgot that she would also
I forgot that she would also say that no one ever follows the papers it is just a guild line once we proved it was what it said.
BM has to call her atty each
BM has to call her atty each and every time to figure out the agreement SHE signed!!! I know it by heart and can practically quote it word for word. BM is also the type that only follows it when it's good for her and doesn't interfere with her plans with boyfriend. When we quote it she calls her atty to confirm that we are RIGHT!!! She is hilarious because she tells us. "I called my atty and she said you are right". Such an idiot!!!
Ok that is very funny. LOL
Ok that is very funny. LOL sounds like some of the crap my bm does. Like one time she swore dh had the boys for chritmas the year before and instead of looking at the papers she said that the boys remember being here for christmas. Dh told her that this is an odd year and that he has them this year and are you really going to go by what the kids say instead of looking at the papers??? :? LOL
the reason they think that were here on christmas is b/c we do pretend it is christmas morn on the years we don;t have them for the day itself.
Yes and I cant forget to
Yes and I cant forget to mention that AFTER she gets pissed off being caught not following the agreement, she then rapid fires emails trying to make up stories to make it appear like she never acutally did anything! You would think that having her own words right in front of her on the email would keep her from trying to lie out her a** but it doesnt phase her!
