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
so my step children have made my life so far almost impossible. I feel very unwanted,used,lied to. They treat me like crap and all 3 of them do it. At least the 24 year old is the only one still at home but runs her mouth about me to her gram and mother who make my life hell. I don't know what to do anymore. Life shouldn't be this hard.

I did do it to my then 32yo SD. I had had enough of her bs. Packed her shit up,put it on the front porch, changed the locks. Sent her a text so she would actually come home and pick it up and not go to boy toy du jour.
It's really quite easy.

I just hate the thought of being label the b**ch. Today I actually made my 14 year old SS cry cause I made him go home but he brought a friend with him yesterday to spend the night and they picked at my two till I blew today. I'm only 31 and don't know how to deal with an out of control 14 year old evil SS and an 18 year old SD that has 2 kids and a 24 year old SD. ThankGod that 24 year old is the only one who lives at home. I am talking to her dad when he gets home tonight and telling him she needs to go.

That's supposed to be the rules but my husband works aso a Sargent at a prison and works all three shits. He is only home 8 days a month and they think that can do whatever they want but how do I tell my husband that I don't want his children there when he is not and how do I get the 24 year old out? Please give me some advice

Why is your DH okay with this? Why does she still live there, at 24 years old? She can go live with her gram or her mother.
I don't known what she is
I don't known what she is doing still living at home. I know I wouldn't want to live at home at 24. I feel horrible that I dislike all 3 step kids but they are making me regret my life choices. I'm not happy and my kids love my DH. He just doesn't understand. Or just can't see how unhappy I am.
