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
DH and BM have one Pros- an
DH and BM have one
Pros- an actual professional giving insight/ meeting with parents
Cons- It is so new that a lot of people don't know what it is or respect their opinion
In our sitch BM simply ignores her orders even tho the CO states that the P.C. can advise... There are a lot of hoops to jump through because so few ppl know what they are for it to mean much.IF both parties follow the court order and respect the PC and their role I think its super beneficial.
right now BM isnt following
right now BM isnt following the CO. she is the one pushing for this, my fiance's attorney is adamantly denying it.
based on the law in our state, the judge cant order it. it must be agreed to by both parties. the catch tho is that suspension of use of the PC must be agreed to by both.
we think BM wants it because talking to my fiance through a PC will be cheaper for her than talking to him through her lawyer which is what she is doing now.
we also agreed to use the stupid Family Wizard which i have serious doubts about. BM is not magically going to start providing information just because its through a different avenue.
