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

My SD is primarily with us, however, her parents (my husband and BM) would not be able to put the effort into HS for her, and BM probably wouldn't want it anyway. I also have to wonder if I would want to be home all day with SD, watching her AND schooling her. But I will be doing it for DS abd DD. I am wondering how this will affect my relationship with SD. I am wondering if my bio's will want to go to PS because SD does too.
