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

My SS lived with his BM the
My SS lived with his BM the first year that Dh and his EX were separated then when I married DH - BM sent him to us because they could not get along and she wanted to be single and free and live her life - then 3 years after he lived with us - he did not want to share space with DD - I don't blame him - he was 12 when she was born - also we threatened to take BM to court for CS and she decided it was time for him to live with her - we also said though that the last move was the last time he was deciding where he wanted to live. I was okay with it because I was at the end of my rope - very hard to work full time - newborn infant and spoiled brat teenager made for a very unhappy and close to nervous breakdown person!!
He has made mention a few times that he and his mother fight but I and DH have told him no more moving - one he needs to learn consequences of his actions and it is too damn expensive to keep moving him!!
