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

Well, isnt that nice. Your DH
Well, isnt that nice. Your DH needs to acknowledge the pain he caused you and take ownership of his role in almost ruining your marriage.
It seems like some people think they can finally realize the hurt they've caused and once that happens everything should be okay. It takes time to recover and build up trust again.
Perhaps your DH is wrong. Perhaps he didnt NEARLY ruin a marriage, perhaps he already ruined it. He's assuming your marriage isn't ruined. He dug himself into a pretty big hole and it may take time to dig himself back out.
Good luck on that one. I
Good luck on that one. I find most guilty daddies who sacrifice the SM at the altar of guilt will, in the final outcome, not admit that they did anything to wreck the relationship. They will instead blame it on SM. First the "pining" after their precious angel will come and then when the PAS out is complete then it will all be blamed on SM. Been there, done that, burned the t-shirt.
"I find most guilty daddies
"I find most guilty daddies who sacrifice the SM at the altar of guilt will, in the final outcome, not admit that they did anything to wreck the relationship." That about hits the nail on the head there. Sounds like my dh. They must have some super-secret playbook they all read from.
Oh he recognises his guilty
Oh he recognises his guilty parenting all right. And to be fair after the initial hostility ( see previous blogs) he hasn't once blamed me. He has been tossed aside by her now he is no longer useful. I think he just feels hurt and stupid that he didnt see it coming. But like I told him. Don't trust her or expect much from her, just love her she is still your girl. But she is not mine. And life is a million times better now.
