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

Jeez we really need to get it
Jeez we really need to get it through parents heads that guns are NOT a good toy!
You would be shocked to know
You would be shocked to know what kids bring to school. I used to handle the superintendent hearings for my district about 6 or 7 years ago. Whenever a kid brought a weapon to school, it was confiscated and made part of the file. We got a new super during that time, who thought it was silly to keep all of the actual weapons in the files as long as we had a picture of it, so asked me to go into the records storeroom and purge all of the weapons. Holy Hell in a Handbasket! I was even shocked! Guns, razor blades, exacto knives, boning knives, you freaking name it.. kids are bringing it to school... and these were just the ones that got caught!
