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 park myself by the pool, with my big ol' sunglasses and hat and a book and a BIG drink and I answer to NO ONE for hours. DP knows this. SDs know this.
I have my time marked out.
Other times we'll all have fun together, but no one will force me to act as "mother" the entire time. DP is dad, he has to do the dad thing.
Discuss tactics discuss what each of you wants and give each other some time. Let the kids go do what they want at the pool/ocean and forget about them a while.
