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

Good riddance to that alcoholic bum of an EX. He and his princess can live as they want now.. in filth.
The problem is that without you there to prop everything up.. things will quickly go downhill.. no food, no cleaning, and none of your money (which I am sure he had no problem taking).
Dust yourself off and know that you are worth more than that.
We will miss you now that you
We will miss you now that you have your release papers!!!!
I know this stings and isn't what you planned. Happily, you are a smart woman who knows how to take care of yourself -- or you'd stay.
