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

I took the advice and went to visit a friend today! Felt good just a long drive. Loved the fresh air. I ignored the dirty house the lazy guys on the couch the pile of dirty laundry and didn't even cook! Hmmmm....well see what will happen tomorrow when I do the same. But my room is clean I have snacks my favorite pjs and Mask with Cher! First time ever!!!!! I admit I a little annoyed at the wreck of a house but imma let them figure it out!!! Thanks everyone! Really thanks!
We're here for you darlin. Go
We're here for you darlin. Go fight the good fight until you figure out a different fight to fight.
You need to get out more I saw on your last blog post that that really helped. talk to other people and build yourself a network outside of this toxic environment you've become entangled in. And don't look to your man or your SS for validation.. they won't give it. Bless.
Step to the right
Thanks! I did just that today! Scrounged up some change borrowed a car and went to see my friend! I did it! And I don't feel guilty! Upset the house is dirty stinks and piles of dishes...hmmmni didn't cook! I came home checked the blog grabbed some treats a movie and chilling with my dog! First time I felt free! They stunned hahaha....my door is locked and I'm in my happy place! Thanks!
