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

It's not that hard actually.
It's not that hard actually. Just download a thesis template and use APA citations. Then go to the kindle self publishing site on amazon and away you go!
By the way, since people can
By the way, since people can review it and not buy it, I wonder if the crazy BMs out there will do just that...God forbid they actually spend their time making things better for their kids...
And I think I accomplished it
