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

When I make food, and call my BIOS down and make them plates, and make sure SO eats.. but then leave the food on the stove just in case the sk's want to come down and make themselves a plate. No calling to them that food is ready. After about 40 minutes I put the food up in the fridge. They can get it or not.

When I pleasantly say bye everyday, and if they don't respond back it's not a big deal. It's actually half-expected.

....when you can look at two SDs (9 and 11) having meltdowns at the same time for ridiculous reasons, DH literally in the middle of them on the stairs, frustrated as he!! because they have to be somewhere at a specific time that is now impossible to do, and then you can calmly tell him that you are sorry you cannot help because you have an appointment YOU made a month ago that you are not rescheduling.
And you leave.
