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

Right? What a bunch of passive aggressive children
She sucks. That's all you
She sucks. That's all you need to know.
Just remember that she put an awful lot of emotional energy into trying to hurt you guys with a stunt you couldn't care less about.
Afford her the same pity you might for any other misguided soul if you must but certainly nothing more than a passing thought. She doesn't deserve your heart or your head (nor that of your DH).
She's trying to quell her feelings of inadequacy by forcing it off on another, trying to put the weight of her hurt on your shoulders. Feel free to decline by not giving her childish actions a second thought.
Such Language, SYN!
I think twat would be more appropriate.
You are lucky
You don't even have to make up an excuse. Victory!
That sucks
But at the least you have an out, and can do your own thing guilt-free.

Yup. I actually asked him the other day if the silence regarding Thanksgiving was passive aggressiveness or just because of covid. He said he thought covid, I assumed passive aggressiveness. I guess we know now.
We were already planning on just doing our own thing at home anyway.
OMG what jerks.
OMG what jerks.
No Christmas cards to them this year.
Time to block them from access to/from your social media.
What does DH say about this stunt? Does he suck it up all the time reciting, blood is thicker than water OR family is family OR that is just how they are???
Or will he say POUND sand.
I am sorry---(((HUGS))))
He just sent me an eyeroll
He just sent me an eyeroll emoji and said nothing else regarding it. So not sure what he's thinking but I'm assuming he's just gonna ignore it.
Theres alot of background not included in this post, but there's been alot of favoritism towards SD9 and dismissing our youngest 2 sons. So "family is family" would be kind of difficult for him to say when they arent treating a 1 and 2 year old like family.
Jcksjj, that is so childish
Jcksjj, that is so childish of your SIL and MIL. It's ridiculous they are acting this way during an epidemic. Smh
Rejoice! Can you imagine the
Rejoice! Can you imagine the sheer cost, time and effort required to set up an event like this with so many people attending? I would have a damn good laugh about it. While you're enjoying your nice, quiet Thanksgiving, spare a thought for those poor misguided souls who are sweating it out in an overcrowded kitchen LOL Glance around at your pleasant surroundings and raise a glass for those who will be spending hours cleaning up and washing up before the day is over.
