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

Thank you, it's one of the deepest hurts I have ever known.
Hugs...take it slowly, pamper
Hugs...take it slowly, pamper yourself, and allow yourself to mourn the loss. Go for walks, think things through, eat well, get a little exercise each day. I know things will slowly improve for you, but for now it's OK to just take it one step at a time. My sister once said to me, "today is the first day of the rest of your life. Step outside your door, take a big breath of fresh air, and make that first hardest step...after that, it will get easier." I predict that a year from now, you will be happier.

Agree with taking care of yourself. I am so sorry for all the hurt happening to you right now.
Do go forward with the divorce- that is part of taking care of you. Do not respond to the ex's text. That was a lame overture to see if you would forget and go back to normal. He didn't even try to apologize.

my sincer condolences to read of the loss of your baby.
I too understand the pain of loosing a child, actually several.
If you are able or when you are able please think of the name you wanted to give your baby...and if you have a bible, right his/her precious name inside.
Trust me when I say you will never forget your child---ever. Please know that is normal.
They remain in the softest place in Mothers soul.
Again I am sorry.
Thank you
