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 did payroll for a temp agency back in my early 20's and there was a guy working for us, who had FOUR child support orders from 3 different women and one of them he was in arrears $98,000.00. I actually felt kinda sorry for the guy. Like what is the point of working? You'll never pay that shit off. Condoms would have been much cheaper!

I got into an argument with someone online a few years ago about giving condoms to teenagers (this kid was 17). I feel sorry for those kids that are paying CS and dealing with crazy BM's at very young ages.

I knew this Jamaican guy who was married "in name only" but managed to tom cat around with every woman in sight. He probably had about six illegitimate children that he was paying CS for. At the time, he had a GREAT job on a factory line for DELCO/DELPHI. Even so, pretty much every cent was drained thereafter. Then those great factory jobs started leaving in the nineties.
