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

What makes you so sure you're
What makes you so sure you're the one making mistakes? It is just as, or more likely to be your partner not parenting properly, or the SKIDs' bio mother spiking your guns. I'd recommend reading "Stepmonster" by Wednesday Martin, and also read this: http://www.stepfamily.org/dynamics.html
What kind of mistakes do you
What kind of mistakes do you "think" you're making? Or is someone telling you you're making them??
Treat the kids like they are
Treat the kids like they are your own and you love them as much as possible. Don't trash talk the bio mom (even is she is a butt-ugly, scandalous, drawer-dropping whore.) Watch your back until you can be sure the mom isn't using the kids for her malevolent plans.
