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

present for SD
when my sd turned 16, I sent her a beautiful gift basket that I made myself, it took weeks to complete it, and I was in a shelter at the time, and did not have much $$. It came out so great, that now family members want me to make more (i took pic's of SD basket when it was done) I NEVER GOT A THANK YOU, or any reference at all for that gift. So I say screw 'em!"~waiting on the world to change~"
You don't want to reward bad behavior
My SD celebrated her sweet 16 by losing her 'innocence', then writing about it on the internet. -! disgusting, right! If she acts sweet 16, that is one thing, but if she doesn't, she should not be celebrated for it. Of course your SD's bad behavior may not be as bad?
It is hard to know what to do. We were still kind of in denial and did not know everything at the point of her birthday, but that was the last one where we gave her a special present wrapped and everything (but only one year has passed since then). I have no plans to buy any more any time soon at this point! So I guess I wasn't much help, sorry honey! but just to compare notes helps sometimes

mixed feelings hey
thanks for the support and yep its hard, i know she doesnt deserve anything.
As for sweet 16 we know shes not as what she's done to the young man( we still havent heard yet if he has been charged ) but we did find out she was having sex between the age of 13 /14 while still residing with her bm! it's all so sad.
