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've thought of doing that...going drill sargent on her ass. I always refrain because I know I'll feel guilty and I know she will just give me a blank stare that is pretty creepy.
Do you think it's ok if I try to stand up to her?
You're right...guilt gets the
You're right...guilt gets the best of me and it's stupid. After years of hearing from all DH's family & friends that this poor child is a victim, I just get the feeling it's my fault that she has an absent BM. Yet, I know that if it weren't for me, she would have no mom at all.
So conflicting. I hate this shit more than I've hated anything.
