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 STalk, I'd say enjoy your stay but none of us enjoy being in the situations we're in or we wouldn't be here/venting!

This site will be great for you. Also please try to get your hands on the book Stepmonster. I promise it will help. It's the second time I've mentioned it in like the last 30 minutes. I swear I'm not a paid promoter!
Haha, mama_althea you should
Haha, mama_althea you should be! lol. if only we got paid for the small things. I tell new stepparents about this site all the time. Haven't read the Stepmonster book, but it's on my long list of to-reads. And welcome Sam91. We all have been there. I just dealt with my DH telling me earlier that I was an evil stepmom for the first time from his very lips. Cut me to the core. But being on here, and venting that little episode actually made me laugh after I read some comments from the ladies. I'm still dealing with what you are feeling every day. I don't have any of my own though. Just the one SD5. I'm just now getting to the stage where I'm ready to disengage from anything involving caring for her aside from bathtime. We are all here to help each other!
Sam 91.......welcome to the
Sam 91.......welcome to the club. We all feel the same way that u do. This life really does suck.
Make sure that you read the suggested book:Stepmonster
It will make u feel much better. The feelings u feel are normal. Your husband will never understand.
People without stepchildren will never understand your situation.
