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've always told my kids
I've always told my kids this. If you ever end up going to jail for something stupid and call me to come get you I'm going to tell the nice jailer to have you call your father at 2:45 am for bail.
"Why 2:45 mom? So I can sit in a cell and think about it?"
"Oh son, because at that time of the morning, getting awoken by police tell him to come bail his son out of jail; I won't have to punish you for it, he'll be so pissed your ass will be on fire for at least a month."
Thankfully, no child has done something stupid enough to get arrested. Fingers and Toes!!
