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

Ahhh yes, I mean I COULD
Ahhh yes, I mean I COULD fully embrace the evil step mother role and not do jack for SS but I have a conscious. Guess BM can't stand the fact that her ex is remarried to a woman her child likes and treats him well. I get referred to as "your wife" in a nasty derogatory manner on a regular basis by BM, even about things that I had no knowledge or part in. Yes BM, I am his wife, something you had a chance at and completely blew it and it's obvious it just kills you.
I remember seeing something
I remember seeing something on her FB page once that was talking about how she was so proud of her girls.. raising as a 'single mom'... since her marriage ended "not my choice" she wrote.
In my mind, I'm like .. lady,believe me, from what I understand, he had a very good reason to show you the door... don't act all innocent.
God know what BM refers to me
God know what BM refers to me as because she has a picture of a demon or satan as DH's picture on her phone. I am thinking really mature BM. She copied and sent my DH a series of text messages of them going back and forth and you can see that BM had a picture of this horrible looking creature as his picture. I thought it was hilarious.
Yep, I think this is the
Yep, I think this is the lightbulb above your head lol. You got it.
