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

Can you do something to spoil yourself this weekend? I so wish that Godsgift would take off for a weekend or two or two years or a lifetime.

I usually hang out with bio's- going to movies, out to dinner, museum.

No, I don't have much of a relationship with them, not that I haven't tried. The arrangement has worked out well, so far. Its just taking some time getting used to DH not being here with me every other weekend.

Dh sometimes keeps ss on his weekends and stays with mil as well. Let me tell you, I love it! Don't get me wrong, I love my dh. But I'd rather him be away for a weekend than have ss here. Fighting with the bios and messing with them. However, dh and I are used to being away from each other. We used to live seperately (a job issue) and then I used to visit my parents some weekends with jut the bios because dh used to work weekends. So if dh is gone we make the best of it. Movie nights, junk food days, whatever. It is much more relaxing than ss coming. But if you want things to change, talk to your dh. If you want a relationship with he skids and want to see your dh more thentell him. Just be careful what you wish for!
Please don't misunderstand me
Please don't misunderstand me here. The one and ONLY thing that I am not enjoying is being away from DH on these weekends. I am moreso venting about the being apart than the relationship with skids thing, that ship has sailed.
Like I said, bios and have pretty much got the "what to do while he's away" thing under control. I just needed to say that it sucks that it has come to this but the trade-off is tolerable.
