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

This is what my ex and I do. My son sees him on holidays etc as DS needs to catch a plane to see his dad.
There is no co-parenting. I really never talk to my ex. We don't like each other and we don't hate each other. We just don't want to interact any more with each other. DS is 15 and has a GPA of 4.125 so there are no school issues or friend issue. Thank god.

The comments had a couple of people that "put the kids first" and co-parent.
