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

We sat above gym In
We sat above gym In Observation Area. Both times. We talked to her last weekend saying a Hello is expected. You could see the weight on skids face. I guess if we come next week we will bypass the insane bio mom & meet her before they dismiss. If we come. DH not happy. Not sure what his thoughts are. Have skids this weekend.
Go up to the kid and say
Go up to the kid and say hello. Stop playing her games. It takes 2 to play, ya know.
We were in court yesterday.
We were in court yesterday. OSD was telling DH bye, so I was watching and smiling at her. She was about to come tell me bye and BM2 came over to stand between us. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. I have nothing to be insecure about, but obviously she does. Lol
How do you know she won't
How do you know she won't allow it? Just walk over and say hi to kid and the BM! I don't mind if my kids say hello to their BM if she actually attends one of their games ( she very very rarely does) but I don't like when she sits by us. No thank you. It's embarrassing for my DH for people to see who he was married to.
The bio moms behavior has
The bio moms behavior has been addressed multiple times in counseling & it's very obvious. Stepkid lights up when sees us... Tries to avoid eye contact with bio mom... Bio mom glaring & trying to get stepkids attention... Step kid looks at her... Step kid looks like they've been beat... When time to leave bio mom holds onto stepkid... Pulling them, pushing them...
My step kids have snuck too.
My step kids have snuck too. Even snuck in a hug. :/ it's sad.
