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

Yep
But no details of late on her DH wanting her to budge her boundaries re the Madams.
Nope. Guess she'll update
Nope. Guess she'll update when she's ready.
Fingers crossed the SDs don't

Exactly!
Aww - thanks for your concern
Aww - thanks for your concern everyone - I'm touched! It's been a difficult 18 mths since the blow up in Spring last year with SD28- for those who weren't aware - she sent me a horrible, insulting email and badmouthed me to DH as well, called me a "wanker". It was nearly the end of the marriage because DH wanted me to appease her and I refused and went on refusing - I haven't seen or communicated with her since April last year. DH has been in therapy since then, and we have been working at things which at times has been horribly painful and uncomfortable. The good news is, DH has accepted that for the time being I want nothing more to do with his elder daughter and he sees her outside our home. In August this year she moved into her own flat with her boyfriend (deposit paid by DH) and for the minute everything is rosy in their world. But I don't suppose this state of affairs will last long. I believe her to have unstable personality disorder and she regularly manufactures dramas with herself at the centre. But in future I hope they will affect me less badly because I have stepped back even further from her.
Thanks again everyone for thinking of me - I really appreciate it! xxx
Thanks for the update, Kes!
Thanks for the update, Kes! *give_rose*
I'm always happier when my SO
I'm always happier when my SO's daughter has a boyfriend...she has someone else to latch onto other than her father. Unfortunately she also gets pregnant...
