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

Thats just showing teachers which parent has their childs best interest at heart. And if it is the stepparent then so be it. I hope she was a minority in teacher thinking that why. I've never been treated like that at ss school. Alot of the parents still think I'm ss mom. (Bio mom has only been 2 times)I go to everthing. The article was good. I would like to see more.

I had so many problems with SD15‘s school - even though DH had sole custody. Her BM had her parental rights terminated but the school but the school still wouldn’t allow me to make any sort of decisons about SD15 and I had one of her teachers tell me that he would need to speak to DH and he couldn’t speak with someone who was not a parent or guardian. I was absolutely incensed. I’m her father’s wife, yet I’m treated by the school like I’m the maid or babysitter.
