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

Abusers will continue to try
Abusers will continue to try to abuse you after a divorce - please find a good therapist to help you through this. It's best that you not have contact with anyone associated with him anyway.
Perhaps your first husband was not abusive and was able to divorce in a more civil manner.
It's his only way of lashing
It's his only way of lashing out. The BM should know better and the skids will eventually know the truth. Try not to let what they believe hurt you because that's exactly what he wants: to hurt you and to also not look like the bad one in the divorce. Ignore his attempts to get a rise out of you and although it's going to be hard, ignore the feeling of trying to correct misinformation he is spreading because it only ramps up the drama. The people who know you know the truth and why things are the way they are.
