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

Its been nearly 8 years for me and I feel no love for my husbands 2 daughters, who are incidentally adults.
Been on an emotional roller-coaster since I first set eyes on them and so now I just don't see them at all.
Don't understand them.
Don't understand why they hate me.
Don't understand any of it but I actually don't try to understand any more.
Draw a line and step over it.
Be happy, life is short.

Just re-read my comment to you and it sounds pretty hopeless and depressing!
Sorry, I wish I could say it will all be ok.
I may well be ok for you if you give it some time.
Just don't waste years and years trying to fix an unfixable situation like I did that's all.

To be honest I never even got
To be honest I never even got close to bonding with his 2 daughters.
I can't even refer to them as my step daughters, it just feels all wrong.
We are very happy my hubby and I so its ok now but we went through some very bad times because of them.
I could kick myself for stupidly continually putting myself in their line of fire.
Should have realised it was hopeless much sooner.
Would have far fewer grey hairs if I'd just stopped trying.
