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

At the time of my divorce I
At the time of my divorce I swore I would never marry again. Fast forward many years and I am now very happy and very lucky to be Mrs. DH.
Don't worry about it now. Just embrace life, look for the happy, one day you will discover the present pain is just a memory.
Seasons, what triggered this
Seasons, what triggered this tonight?
I've failed. I have major, unfreakin'-believably failed before. We could spend hours trading "What was I thinking stories ..."
Oh, but I'd probably also have a few ... "Here, hold my beer ..." stories.
In my experience, most of my epic "fails" have been when I undersold myself. I settled for a nice guy who was not a good fit for my real self. I accepted a job that was 'decent' but not using my skillset. Stuff like that. Underselling myself. Settling. Accepting poor behavior from a SO because I thought subconsciously that I deserved it. Whatever.
My closest girlfriend is ill and unavailable, so I don't really have anyone IRL to bounce stuff off either.
What's up?
I have done it again
I gave myself time and fell in love with a great man. I now have 3 skids 26SS 24SD and 22SS. I went into this thinking this will be great the skids are all adults not living at home with my DH. No more cs. It will just be me and him and the occasional holiday visits... NOT! So here we go now we are just down to SS22 living at home... new DH new drama same old me... I am back..
