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 was doing a puzzle, but
I was doing a puzzle, but it's not enough at this point. I've been drinking a little so soon I hope I'll be able to sleep.
The thing is, I know it's supposed to be bad to use alcohol that way, but I'm not sure why. If it keeps me from doing anything stupid, and I'm safe in my house, what's wrong with drinking until I can sleep?
Is that really controversial?
I hate when I'm down. Because I've worked really hard for the insight that I have, and I really do believe in all the positive things I communicate to other people. But no matter what I do, I still have my demons and occasionally they still get loose.
I'm sure I'm not alone.

Oh Liz ~~ i feel ya ~ you
Oh Liz ~~ i feel ya ~ you are NOT alone..... lay on the couch and watch a movie while you're drinking that always knocks me out after i already have a buzz... or read, that will knock you out in a heart beat...
i hope your day gets better after you get some zz's...
I have stepmonster - actually
I have stepmonster - actually I may read that now. But I have to say, SO is really good at handling boundaries and everything with BM. It's not that. It's other relationship stuff. I know everybody goes through it.
I can't do anything strenuous cuz I'm still recovering from minor surgery - but I think I'm going to go lie down with the Kindle and hope I nod off.
Thanks for the encouragement.
