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

Hell no - thats the one bright spot in this situation. When I met him he was fixed. BM was always a nasty hot mess, but my girlfriend and I were just saying this exact thing the other night. My DD4's father (first hubby) was awesome and smart and kind. She takes after him.

Good thinking!! Instead of a plumber bill, I'll buy gloves, a mask, and a nice bottle of wine and handle it myself.
