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
Thanks
for the response Mustang1. I do go out with friends when I am left husbandless. They watch football & do guy stuff. & I really don't want to be with a kid on the weekend. I teach 200 teenagers a day & need a break from them. They really don't exclude me, I exclude myself.
I have approx one more year. I should have waited to marry until he was done with the overnight visitations. I thought I could handle it and in a way I am, but it leaves me feeling down.
Thanks again for your response. I'll try to enjoy myself.
I get no weekends with hubby...
so I understand the frustration. I love my skids but sometimes I need a break too. And eventually the kids won't want to have anything at all do with either one of us so I'll enjoy them as much as I can now. I agree with Mustang1....take this time for yourself. For me, alone time is so hard to come by.

Oh Cruella....
I wish that I could knock your hubby upside his head MYSELF with your frying pan sometimes. You are such a good SM and you deserve a night out where you're #1 for once....
At least you were able to take care of the whole unibrow dilemma...
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain."
I know that feeling...
there's a quote...

we may be the strongest of all creatures, but we can only take so much. Who catches us when WE fall?
