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 never even thought of the
I never even thought of the therapy bills... I would definitely have some of those if it weren't for this website
^^^THIS!^^^ I know I would

I know I would probably be in therapy right now too if it wasn't for finding this site. No one talks about being a step, it's like a dirty little secret that no one wants to talk about because it is socially unacceptable to say your skids drive you up the friggin' wall! OR *gasp* you don't have those warm and fuzzy feelings for said skids who make you want to pluck your hair out one by one...
I love this site. It's brutally honest about steplife.
I actually looked into
I actually looked into getting myself into therapy, looked all around our area for someone that specialized in step family situations and there were a total of ZERO. I would have to pay at least $75/hour plus drive a minimum of 45 minutes one way to get there. I read/lurk more than I post, but just reading everyone else's situations and responses helps tremendously. LOVE this site!
