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

Stick around..
I think you can probably learn a little something from each and every poster on this site. Is there a particular event at this moment, or just general support that you are looking for? There are many season and new SM's on this site, and everyone is here to support one another. As for the accronyms;
SM- STEPMOM
BM- BIOMOM
BF- BOYFRIEND
DH- DEAR HUSBAND
SK- STEPKID(S)
SD- STEPDAUGHTER
SS- STEPSON
Welcome, and much luck to you!

SD = Step daughter
SS = Step son
DH = Dear Husband or D*ck Head
BM = Bio Mom
BD = Bio daughter
BS = Bio Son
Welcome!

Welcome....

Welcome!!!!
If you ever fall into troubles in your Step Life this is a very good place to vent, or look for suggestions and support from other posters. I've been a SM for nearly 10 years and wish I'd found this site a lot earlier in my Step Life. It would have been nice to know that there are other BM's out there who make out life miserable. I am also a BM and could never imagine acting the way some of the BM's we all have to deal with on a day to day basis because of the SK's.
Ask us all anything......we've all been there done that!!!

New to this
Stand back and listen, watch body language, don't give advice unless asked, smile, give them space with bioparent, let bioparent reprimand, don't argue in front of kids, keep the chores very light & have the bioparent give out chores, let bioparent plan the events for the kids, be like a kind auntie (one that attends functions but doesn't plan them), be consistent, keep a routine, teach them the importance of money by example........
