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
I agree with SM- it was not
I agree with SM- it was not appropriate to use his grandma as an example and you should apologize to him. I also agree with SM about using the word "civil" instead of "respect."
Ditto,what they said.

It's disrespectful to talk
It's disrespectful to talk about someone elses family. I you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, especially when dealing with a child. If you need to vent, talk to adults. You don't talk to kids about their family, no matter
what they are like.
Also, that's not how respect works. Giving respect doesn't get respect. Respect is earned.
