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
No. However threatening to
No. However threatening to kick someone out for their home for attempting to address a child's poor behavior is abuse. His sh$tty kids are not nice and he has failed to parent them. It sounds like you've been gaslighted by a true abuser. They are masters of using smoke and mirrors and projection. Self love is the very most important things life. Love yourself lady and leave him.
Er..... no. Rather they are
Er..... no. Rather they are abusing you threatening to throw you out of their home for acknowledging some home truths. If you voluntarily left, what's the issue? Maybe you shouldn't go back though.
I agree. Leave and do NOT go
I agree. Leave and do NOT go back. The abuser has gaslighted you. Dump the d@ckhead. Block the c@ck. Run and do not look back. No one decent threatens to kick someone out of their home for this.
Holy Hell
Shitty behavior has many titles. So if you want to call it abuse, and that makes you get the hell off the farm then its ABUSE.
Gaslighting toxic shit head is what I'd call it.
Obviously the dick cannot handle how shitty his kids are, better to put your head in the sand. What an Ostrich. AND let him continue on his own, the "abuse" is done, take it no more lady.
Love yourself more
The truth and reality...
The further people, individuals, groups drifts from the truth and reality...the more they hate those who speak it and live it. Fact.
Love this. Saving it.
Love this. Saving it. Thanks.

"The further people, individuals, groups drifts from the truth and reality...the more they hate those who speak it and live it."
Bears repeating.
Sounds like
Projection. Abusers call normal ppl abusers to make them feel bad n reel them back in. They spew shame onto others to punish.
His kids are not nice, he throws you under the bus by not hearing you and defending you (thus his kids are priority), not willing to come up with solutions with you, threatened you with his 'power' (basically threatening your living situation that he feels he has power over and can just kick you out for not worshipping his children n being their abuse/bad behavior scapegoat)...plus harrassment. No concern or empathy for how YOU feel (scapegoats are not ALLOWED to have feelings or make waves)
Power n control. Abuse.
Your current situation is not
Your current situation is not healthy.--^^^WHAT FUTUREO^^^ said
