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

We didn't have a party when
We didn't have a party when DH was done with CS... but he bought a 65" smart TV on the very first payday he hadn't had CS come out in 17 years.
make sure you keep a copy
make sure you keep a copy somewhere - we needed it 1 1/2 years later for a medical bill not paid
We didn't have a party,
We didn't have a party, either, but maybe we should have.
I think, if we had one now, I would pick a time period that brings up good memories and had good music and use that as my theme. For example, the late 70s and early 80s had some great party music and I had some great times. That was also before my husband had married either of his wives and had kids.
I would use music from that time period and pick one of the song titles as the name of my party, like "Celebration" or "Party Like It's 1999" or whatever your preference and whatever fits the best.
There is nothing like music to bring back good memories, create more memories, and just plain 'ol have a good time.
I like to sing, so I would throw in some Karaoke but it's not everybody's thing. It is, however, a blast! (and this time of year is good time to pick up a machine)
