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

Why would you want to be in
Why would you want to be in communication with the former SD, who treated you badly?

My 2nd marriage had a SS involved. I was as happy to be rid of him as I was his abusive father.
Cutting ties and having a clear line is important! Don't worry about what they think or feel. It is important that you only focus your healing and moving forward.
File those Last 5 Years
Under no good deed goes unpunished.
Lesson learned
Say good riddance to bad rubbish and never again
