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

Venting feels good! I think
Venting feels good! I think you are smart in making contingency plans so you are well set regardless of how this plays out. Stand strong, take care of yourself. Wish I had better words for you but it sounds like you're an intelligent and rational woman. Keep putting yourself and your needs first, no on else is gonna do it for you, right?
What a load you are dealing
What a load you are dealing with! I'm diabetic and don't get crazy when my sugar is low, I just head to where the carbs are lol. It sounds like you have a plan in place should you need it. Just remember that DHs don't know what we're thinking unless we spell it out for them. Keep telling him what you think about everything. If you love him so much, give him the chance to change. It can't be easy with his family tugging at him. Be the voice of reason and speak loudly so he hears you! Hopefully he will come around and you won't have to scoot out in a year. Keep us posted!
