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

FIL did get all teary on the phone when DH talked to him a couple weeks ago, and he did apologize but idk if he really admitted to any wrong doing or how genuine it was since I could only hear DH. MIL definitely has not apologized and sticks with "there's two sides to every story."
Your inlaws suck! That was a
Your inlaws suck! That was a coward mood and obviously they don't care about spending time with YDS or they would have delivered it to YDS.
Oh well, win for you that you didn't have to see the idiot!
I thought the same thing. It
I thought the same thing. It almost felt passive aggressive to me - oh we couldn't give SD her gift in person so we won't for YDS either.
Haha yeah not seeing them is a plus.
Not sure how old
YDS is but there is no way I would tell him that the gift was from FIL
He's only one. Which makes it
He's only one. Which makes it even weirder that the inlaws don't care that they haven't seen him more than 5 min since Christmas, he's obviously changed alot since then. But they're just DYING to see SD9.
