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

You know what scares me, we've never asked SD20 (who lives with us) to do chores, but it was troubling that a few months ago, she straight up asked me who got what if her dad died, or who was in charge of things if something happened to both DH and I. It may have just been an innocent question, but this day and age, it's a little scary.

Mental illness causes so much trouble/problems/issues/heartache and its so overlooked.
My DH has schizophrenia. He
My DH has schizophrenia. He does experience a reality completely different from the REAL one. He looks normal too. My luck is that he is so far, non violent, he is just scared. And annoying, and difficult to deal with. I have basically disengaged unless he is freaking out.
I guess this psycho is the end of the spectrum that I should fear.
