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

I have an SD who is turning
I have an SD who is turning 13 this week. She is pretty much a sweet girl but has started going to the dark side this summer. Tries to outtalk DH and I, tries to negotiate, LIES like you wouldn't believe. I'm finally getting DH to see that she's not such an angel anymore and she is just a dingbat. Thank goodness she's not into boys yet. Read my posts and know you're not alone!

Thanks everyone! Practicing
Thanks everyone! Practicing deep breathing. Thankfully my DH is being a sweetie this morning! BM turned her into a monster (taught her to lie, steal, ect) she even used to encourage her to "fight me." Then when SD did it to BM she beat her up.
I agree with Stacey. No
I agree with Stacey. No wonder this girl is so messed up.
Perhaps you all could benefit from therapy and parenting classes.
