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
Stepmom
Stepmom is actually pretty good, I thought.... Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts, Ed Harris.
Stepmom was a great
Stepmom was a great movie.... except for the BM having cancer. (as irritated as BM makes me I don't want her to die).

STEPMOM was a good movie but
STEPMOM was a good movie but remember how the BM and SKIDS hated her in the beginning....the only reason the BM came around is because she was dying of cancer and had to trust the SM to raise her kids.

Ewwwww
I HATED the movie Stepmom.. truly truly hated it with my soul. Perhaps if it wasn't Julia Roberts vs Susan Sarandan... maybe... but the whole young beautiful new wife thing to me just reaffirmed the whole stepmom stereotype. I hated it as a SM but I really really hated it as a BM.
Hmmm...
Okay, know I guess I'm going to have to see this movie... I usually avoid the whole happy SM/BM scenario because it just never was my reality...

I thought it was good. Showed how BM influences the kids and how SM kept trying to come out on top. Sure there were slips, but everything came out good in the end. With exception to the whole cancer thing.

Haven't seen it yet, but ...
