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

Welcome to life with a teen
Welcome to life with a teen boy. Cranio-Rectitis is a universal state in teen boys and they are lucky to survive it. I believe it may even be prevalent in teen girls, based on how my 17yo niece is behaving.
My SS-18 is just now starting to show faint glimmers of light from around where his sphincter has been firmly clinched around his cranium since he turned 13-14. I am expecting that each year their will be a slight loosening of his sphincter from around his head until he turns ~25-27. At that point his Cranio-Rectitis should be relegated to nothing more than occasional flare ups rather than the constantly active state that it has been in for the past 4-5 years.
Every parent becomes a blithering idiot when our kid's become teens and we don't learn a damned thing until the kids turn ~25-27. Then all of a sudden it is amazing how much progress we have made since the kids became aware that they know everything about anything when they turned 13.
This may not be a skid thing. This may just be a kid thing. Especially since your Skid is a teen boy.
I had my own bout with Cranio-Rectitis in my teens through mid 20's. My parents tell many stories about my own stupid Cranio-Rectitis tricks.
My mom and dad and my younger bro (40) visited this weekend and my mom and dad kept my wife and SS-18 in tears laughing over their recounting of the stupid shit that my bro and I did when we were suffering from teen/20's induced Cranio-Rectitis.
Hang in there mom. I recommend tequila, wine, beer, whisky, or your own personal favorite libation to help you accelerate your learning curve so you can once again know something as your SS burrows deeper up his own ass as he progresses in to full blown Cranio-Rectitis. Since he is 14, by my calculations, you are in for another 11-13 years of this.
In through the nose, out the mouth ..... take a shot. Lather, rinse, repeat. You can also whack the little shit on the back of the head occasionally. That helps me deal with my own SS-18.
Fortunately for us, SS-18 starts basic training for the USAF on April 12 and just changed his contract from 4 to 6yrs. That should get us pretty close to being done with his Cranio-Rectitis.
Good luck and best regards,
Yep yep . . . I had a bit of
Yep yep . . . I had a bit of cranio-rectitis, so I can vouch for it happening to girls too. Good luck!
