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

Harvard... Ahhhh to be a
Harvard... Ahhhh to be a teen again.... To think that you will live forever, always be "beautiful" and in shape, always have energy and no cares in the world... and everything revolves around you!! Remember how we used to groan when our parents said "you know, in MY day..."
Now we say, "You know, in my day - there were no cell phones! And some people had "party" lines!! And we only had 1 color television with only maybe 6 channels! And the TV stations went "dark" at midnight and then the national anthem would play! And the only video game was PONG. ..."
Am I dating myself? It is what it is. How wonderful to be that naive...
