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

Anger is not irrational when a spouse flips the script.
Give yourself and everyone else a pardon and move on with your life.
While making the choice to not deal with or interface at all with a SKid, you are also abdicating a place at your DH's side. Why should he tolerate a partner who does that?
Just some thoughts.
Either engage by setting boundaries and enforcing stdards of behavior and standards of performance making sure that your SO partners with you on these things, or move on and find a new partner to make your best life with.
Just my thoughts of course.
what.. isn't sd like 30?
what.. isn't sd like 30? what are her tumbles.. some adult acrobat class?
Yes!
She's exactly that age but sooooo hard for me to be around. Completely dismissive and paws over DH and MIL. The nickname is because of the emotional gymnastics and drama that are a staple in her life and get conveyed to her little circle.
Your DH seems still joint at the hip
With SD and BM. Seems like he majes excuses to meet up with BM. You must explain to him when he divorce BM abd started a relationship with you. Things has to change. The dinners with SD are ok but not if BM going to be there,
Ugh!
IM sorry this is still happening.
Shes not any better eh?
This sounds like one of those times that you have to just suck it up and smile.
