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

There are SOOOO many genuinely good people on this site that will give their support, GREAT ADVICE and even just lend an ear for you to vent when needed.
I am engaged to my FDH (been together for 7+ years) and have FSD16.5 & FSS13 - I am SO glad I found StepTalk! It has literally saved my relationship with FDH, not to mention my sanity!!!
I hope you will get as much out of this site as we all do - it's a WONDERFUL place!! Such an amazing feeling when you realize that there are other people out there that go through the exact same things you do - they GET IT, they just do! It helps you realize that you're NOT CRAZY after all!!! LOL!!
Welcome, Kat! I've only just
Welcome, Kat! I've only just joined this week too.. I wrote one giant blog post to kind of sum everything up, and it REALLY helped me relieve some of my stress I have due to being a stepparent. Even reading other people's stories are comforting, because it reminds me that I am not alone in this conquest that will take at least 15 more years! Good luck to you, and I hope you find solace in typing out your stressors.
