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

I'm pretty sure Ms. Perfect is ill...
But the first step is determining if it affects the child. In our case, it certainly does, so we are in the midst of having a psych exam for the child through the court. The thought is that once they hear from the child what is going on that they will want to investigate further into the psychological well being of Ms. P.
Best of luck
In the past....
...we gave into her episodes. We were understanding. But she has since created so much drama and stress, now we ignore her as much as humanly possible.
And it does effect the kids. But she has them so wrapped, we just simply do whatever we can without putting our lives in the train wreck.

Thank You!!
Thank you, you two for your comments I did not know that there was a forum for Bio-parents with mental issues, I guess I will check there for additional help, but your comments were also very helpful, it is comforting to know that I am not the only one with this issue. Little Jo, I am much like you where I just try and ignore the issues as much as possible, but every once in a while I get hit with something from left field. thanks again and good luck to you as well.
