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

Yes. He has no right to make big changes that affect you without getting your input. We get walked on way too much as it is, even when it's a situation we naively agreed to in the first place.
Yeah sorry I know a bit
Yeah sorry I know a bit vague. I am not looking to TELL him or VETO anything. I just thought maybe he would look to discuss it with me. Ultimately, it is between him and BM and what's good for the kids. I LIVE there. I help parent the kids. It's frustrating to feel like a third wheel constantly.
