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

Well, I'm gonna treat them
Well, I'm gonna treat them all as if they're dead. That will be way better than skids treated me.
DH wouldn't dream of treating
DH wouldn't dream of treating SD's Husband like SD treated me. He wouldn't want to get SD upset with him. In fact, it was OK for SD's husband to join in with SD and be an ass. DH made excuses for her hubby's rude behavior just like he did for SD. As Frieda wrote, I was the only whipping post. Boy, am I glad both SD and SSIL are gone, gone, gone.
They're gone?? Where did
They're gone?? Where did they go??? Can I send princess brat to join them?
They are banned from our home
They are banned from our home until he grows balls an informs them that I am to be respected in my own home. He recently told me SD has no remorse for blowing up at me, along with SSIL so they can stay away. As far as I'm concerned they ARE gone - I hope for good.
Princess brat would send a
Princess brat would send a nasty email to be followed up by a nasty phone call where she hurls insults and complains that when she was 2 years old,daddy was 5 minutes late picking her up so he's a bad father ( I'm not kidding; she does this) Different story, same stupid reaction, same rotten brat
I've brought this up to my
I've brought this up to my husband. My SD was furious when I had the nerve to talk back to her now ex BF after he humiliated me on Thanksgiving day, 2011 (while I was preparing a large meal alone). It wasn't the first time that BF had attacked me. My husband was present for it all. My older SS didn't like it when I called his friend (who stole my husband's car) garbage. I let them all know that they can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.
For years his kids have treated me like garbage. My husband has always had respect for all of their boyfriends, friends, etc. When I confront him about it, he says he doesn't want to stoop to their level. My response, then why didn't you ever do anything to stop the abuse when it was happening to me.
SD and my husband were shocked when I banned her and her latest man from my home for Thanksgiving, 2012 and Christmas.
Enough is enough.
Btw, I am so glad I have found this site. I now know I am not alone. Myself, like so many other stepmothers could write a book about the treatment we have received at the hands of overindulged, spoiled entitled brats.
sd20 would likely freak out.
sd20 would likely freak out. since i cut her completely out of my life, i don't talk to her fdh either. i've only been around them once in the last year, other than her pathetic stalking at my workplace. but staying away is a far cry from the outright nastiness i have recieved from her. she is so lucky i don't give what i get.
she would be livid if she knew fdh and i still talk to her exbf. he's a nice kid and we both like him. she doesn't get to tell us who we can and can't talk to or be friends with. she was up his ass for almost 2 years, acted like an hour away from him in a 24 hour span would kill her, then when they broke up, suddenly he was horrible and treated her like shit. :?
i think that is proof enough that she would flip out if we treated her current fdh like she treats me.
