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 would let BM know what was
I would let BM know what was being said, give her a chance to own up, where is her BF at the time? KTL
DH should confront BM about
DH should confront BM about that. See what she says. That is definitely not appropriate.

I don't think anything BM does is appropriate.
It's like she weighs her options and then makes the worst possible choices...like my post about SD5 and humping...or like the bboty shorts and tube tops she sends for her during the summer, or like her telling them that they will never see their father again because of me....
What kind of custody does DH
What kind of custody does DH have? Would the children benefit from living with you and DH?
Custody is 50/50 and we've
Custody is 50/50 and we've been down that road fighting for custody and throwing away thousands of dollars in the process....I have no doubt that they would benefit from living with us, but BM would lose her meal tickets and she's not about to let that happen!
She's a pathological liar so
She's a pathological liar so I'm pretty sure what she'll say...
New hubby was at work or wherever he pretends to go during the day. I asked SD5 "who locked the door" and she said "ME".
DH is so bent out of shape, poor guy. I feel really badly for him.
Wow, Maux... DH is so
Wow, Maux...
DH is so torn...when he confronts her, she'll lie as usual. Plus the SKs are hundreds of miles away when they're with her so its not like we can run to the rescue if she does retaliate.

I totally did not see it as harsh, Maux...
I just kinda got a mental picture of what you were describing about your father.
I don't see the point in confronting her either...maybe MIL could say something...they seem to get along like peas and carrots, lol!
My SDs' mother used to spend
My SDs' mother used to spend our CS to buy beer for her boyfriend. She couldn't afford to buy them clothes for school for spending so much on him. They had to get their clothes and school supplies from some charity thing (which is fine if you really need it, but she did not). Neither she nor her boyfriend had a job. They sat on their butts, collected our CS and spent it partying. Joke's on them now though. DH now has full custody and she has to pay us CS and her visitations are court-ordered supervised. She hasn't done visitation since Oct. 08 though. Slime-ball that one is.
