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

It will be. Can dh set up a time to talk to her at least once a day? I know you're on vacation, but it may help ease her anxiety if she knows he isn't radio silent the entire time. Of course, he should call her (not the other way around) and the call should be limited to a few minutes just to check in.

I'm not 100% clear on the backstory here - does she have actual anxiety issues or just princess syndrome? If it's not a legitimate anxiety issue, I would think that calling to check in would actual make the situation worse. I say go cold turkey, if that's possible.

I'm not sure. Either way, I think it shows Daisy is also human and not cutting his daughter out and it also shows SD that Daisy isn't trying to totally push her out. Part of the reason my dh is so ok with me not liking his "princess" is because I show that little bit of empathy here and there.

LOL...She is more like a todler than a teen. It doesnt make sense why she needs a sitter but this is DH's call. SD will not stay by herself. The kick, my mother lives 3 houses down the street, my BS21 will be home with my BS14. They will be eatting at my mothers and my mother will be checking on them throughout the weekend but that is it. SD needs attention, someone there to focus on her. That is how she is. She cant just be there by herself even though my 21 year old will be home. It makes no sense i know this but try to explain to DH is like talking to the wall. She has to many issues. Anyway i dont want my poor 21 year old to have to deal with her shit! Ya know?
