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 sit here at work...it was just after 6 when I read the post (had to go back and read more posts) My make up is a wreck and the day hasn't really even begun yet. It's so completely heart breaking. I forwarded it to my DH.

I think about Dani alot and have reread this post many times. I printed this out and read it to my DH when Dani's fiance originally posted it. I am so sorry for the choice she made; although I do understand the state of mind she must have been in - I just wish things could have worked out differently. My thoughts and prayers are with her fiance, I know he must live with this tragedy on a daily basis.
This is truly heartbreaking.
This is truly heartbreaking. This was before my time on ST but I feel so awful that she felt so powerless and alone. I know I'm new here and I haven't really talked much with most of you but please know NO OF YOU...NONE OF US is alone in this. I'm always here if anyone wants to talk or vent and I hope that EVERYONE on ST can remember why we are here and stop fighting and just BE THERE. My prayers go out to Dani's family and her friends here on ST.
Wow, this is so very tragic.
Wow, this is so very tragic. Printing it out for DH. May his eyes be open.... Love and light to her family.
