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

He expects you to care for his child but can't be bothered to celebrate you on Mother's Day???
WOW, this is something else!
WOW, this is something else! Good for the stepdad for standing up for himself! To a lot of stepkids, you are only as good as the next gift or favor. a lot of stepparents are used for their resources and have their feelings completely dismissed all the time. You put so much of yourself into helping the stepkids and they show zero gratitude or respect of any kind. When the stepkids are adults they should already have some sense of maturity but I guess not.
That is awesome! Bravo to the
That is awesome! Bravo to the stepdad!
