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
Hell NO.

This^^^^^ ETA: This is
This^^^^^
ETA: This is actually a tough call. I hate all the baggage that my husband brought into my life in regards to BM/GBM/SD. But he also gave me my little girl. I love her more than anything and I couldn't imagine my life without her.
I was tempted to say no to this question, but I really don't know after I weighed the good with the bad.
Nope not a chance in hell.
Nope not a chance in hell. What a helluva a life lesson is right! I still have a few more to learn as I am still in it but I am working on it and hoping it will be lessons learned soon! Damn I used to be brave and outspoken LOL working on gettin' that back too ha!

Yes, but then our situation
Yes, but then our situation is non drama so honestly cannot say I blame any of you that say no having read some of your stories!
Not a chance. The way that DH
Not a chance. The way that DH treated the SS's compared to my kids.... I should have run that first weekend of the kids visitation. I love DH, I don't love his ballless attitude with his boys and the BM.
No. Because I never would
No. Because I never would have willingly put myself and my BS into some b.s and the stress and drama, etc.
However, for the most part we have pushed through the majority of the b.s. and dont have to deal with much, so we are in a "good" place right now.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLEY NOT. NADA
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLEY NOT. NADA NEVER NOT IN THE LIFE TIME OR ANY OTHER, NOT FOR ALL THE MONEY OR FAME. NOTHING COULD EVER MAKE WANT TO DO THIS IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE CLUSTER FUCK IT HAS ALL TURNED INTO.
No.
No.
F NOOOO!!!!
F NOOOO!!!!
NO!!! I love our daughter but
NO!!! I love our daughter but NO. I'm pretty sure that's why DH didn't introduce me to his kids, ex, or family before we had been dating a year.
I think DH expected me to run for the hills. I was already in love by that point. Pfft, I should have run anyways.
I do love DH but the drama is too much for me. Of course he could say the same, my exh is a total drama queen but my kids dont do him like his do me.
Posted the exact same
Posted the exact same question a few months ago wondering if it was just me. I love DH, but quite honestly if i had known before what i know now, id have given him a while to resolve and if it didn't, i'd have left. But now being married with a son, it makes it so much harder to give that ultimatum.
No chance. I love my baby
No chance. I love my baby girl to bits and wouldn't be without her, but I would never have chosen this life.
