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

Yeah I know! He just tried to have ME tell YSD that he has it. Eff no!
So she's likely not going to come upstairs at all.
Happy holidays!
The best thing is I get the bubbly all to myself. I should have bought that carbonated wine stopper!
Ooh
I need carbonated wine stoppers.
Nah..
Sounds like the LAST thing you need is the stopper, lol!
Hope your husband has a mild case.
LoL. I don't think I'll need
LoL. I don't think I'll need it tonight.
I told DH that what I really want is a nice hotel room by myself starting tomorrow, with a spa treatment.
But I need to care for my elderly cat who is the BEST and that's the only thing stopping me.
Then give you DuH a tent to
Then give you DuH a tent to sleep in the garden and "rationalize" it by telling him the cold will kill the virus...
Exactly
Just finish it hahaha!
Yeah I finished it last night
Yeah I finished it last night. Headache this morning but not feeling too terrible, lots of water and it took me 4 hours so it wasn't like I guzzled it. Not really wanting more today! LOL.
DH was in bed at 8, YSD has refused to come upstairs at all and is eating only in her room. I unplugged the tree as I slept on the couch last night (my cat was so happy!). YSD hasn't come up today. She was discussing it with BM last night and asked me what she should do (she wanted to go to BMs). It's 10 am. I told DH I'd drop her off if that's what they decide because she doesn't care about Xmas and now won't be participating at all in anything since DH needs to keep to himself. No gifts have been opened.
We also found out that BM had it this past year, did YSD run to DH? Nope! She had no problem staying with BM until her scheduled time with DH.
And then DH is mad that I'm not in some sunny fun mood.
