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
Our version of "the talk"
Our version of "the talk" will be "Christmas is a day for comfort and joy. We will not discuss any potentially adversarial or related topics. We can set aside a day/time to address your concerns but it won't be today. If you cannot abide by these rules then leave."
Perfect.
I will steal as my own if you are okay with that.
Much less inflamatory than mine.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays.
