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

I cried for two days when I
I cried for two days when I found this site (about four months ago). I told my SO he is more than welcome to spend as much time with his daughter as he wants, but not to include me in any of their plans. Stress relief is the prospect of never having to see SO daughter ever again. I told SO, I would rather spend a peaceful Christmas/Thanksgiving alone than with him and his daughter together.
His daughter has stolen ALL my clothes on two separate occasions. The first time SO daughter stole ALL my clothes I did not believe SO. The daughter was always so nice and polite to my face, I did not believe SO when he told me his daughter had stolen my clothes. I thought for sure SO was cheating on me. Eventually SO begged me to get back together with him. He told me, he loved me with his whole heart. The second time she stole ALL my clothes her father had recently paid 25,000 dollars for a very lavish weddding for her, and she was living in her own (rental)house, with her new husband. The second time she stole ALL my clothes (socks, shoes, underwear, bras, makeup, outerwear, etc.) she hid them and lied to her father for about two months. Eventually he did find ALL my clothes and returned them to me. However I was so psychologically damaged by his out of control psycho daughter I broke up with SO and refused to see him for seven years. Fast forward SEVEN years later, I am back together with my SO, and have complwetely disengaged from his daughter. MY SO finally understands I prefer never to see or hear her again.
