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

(HTF did you end up with SS and how do you put up with him if your own son is someone out-standing??!!)
In all Fairness
skids (OSS, Pumpkinhead stb 23, SD, Animal Torturer stb 21 and YSS, the HouseShitter stb 17) were the product of NON-parenting by the Girhippo and Chef. Although I was a real single parent (no help from StepDaddyBigBucks types or boyfriends NOR CS) I managed to raise my two children to productive adulthood through INTENSIVE parenting not unlike the parenting I received as a child.
Right from wrong was inculcated into us from toddlerhood! Empathy, concern for others, and selfishness was NIPPED IN THE BUD. Not so for a lot of children today.
How awesome! I know you are
