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

Is there something in the order that says your DH has to let SD have her cell phone? If not, there's no contempt to file.
In case of an emergency, BM can contact your DH on his cell phone or a house phone, I assume...?
If nothing else, your DH can hold the cell phone & read the texts before they go to SD. If BM is telling SD to delete the messages, I'm guessing she's sending things she shouldn't be sending.
There is something in the
There is something in the decree that the cell phone can't be taken away from her but seriously the summer visitation that clearly states uninterrupted should over rule that shouldn't it.

I am taking pictures with my camera of all of the text messages that bm is sending some are her saying I wish you never had to go and I want you to just come home. This bm is a serious case of parental alienation.

That's a good idea it's getting to the point where it's causing problems in the home because then we have to fight sd because bm has her so brain washed to the point she don't even want to be at our home.
