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

We went, along with DH's
We went, along with DH's parents. But it made me ill to see how disrespected they were all weekend... Me, I couldn't care less because it's their M.O. and how they've come to be in order to please their mom. My IL's made a whirlwind 6 hr one way trip to see the SK's graduate, only to be ignored, not just at the ceremony, but ALL WEEKEND.
My MIL is so hurt right now, as is FIL and DH.... but FIL's and DH's way of dealing is to act like nothing is wrong. MIL on the other hand just wants to express her anger and gets shut down by both of them.
Funny how SK's are there with hands out when they want something from IL's or DH but can't even treat them half-way decently.
Makes me sick.
