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 like it - here is one of mine...
Don't worry,
I'll take care of this;
this being our relationship.
Don't worry,
I'll take care of this,
Just like I have taken
care of everything else in our life.
Don't worry,
I'll take care of this.
I am not mad
That in taking care
of you - you took
advantage of me.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of this.
I am not in shock
That I pledged my:
Love, honor in sickness
and in health till death
do we part;
to have it thrown
back in my face.
Don't worry
I have taken care of it.
When you hear the echo
of an empty home,
and you realize
I am gone -
And that you actually
Loved me
That I actually was
Important to you
that you just forgot
to show me how much.
Don't worry
I promised
That I would
Take care of it,
and when you fully
realize this
I will be long gone.

must try this
Hipi: very clever, I am impressed!
StrongGirl: that was powerful.
I only have written a couple that are too specific, like, you thought you were rich but then the dot.com crashed down. I need to make it more universal, more every-man and every-woman . . . ok, thanks

Truthfully
I didn't make it up... I got it in an email & thought I'd share it here. I'm not much of a poet.

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
