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

Yes. I don't have bios. If I had known that I'd fall in love (twice!) with men with kids, I would have had my own kids. At least then all the bs would be a labor of love and not just thankless work to pick up BM or Disney Dad's slack.
Being a SM is the epitome of the phrase: "All the responsibility and none of the authority." The SM has to live with the consequences of other's poor choices.
Yep! All the time.
Yep! All the time. Fortunately, our CS mess SHOULD end in 4 1/2 months. Once it does, I hope that things will change as I have thankfully seen a huge change in DH. 99% of our issues have been truly caused by the stress of crazy and loser. Ask me again in 6 mos and my answer might be different if CS does not end.

Outside of having a great husband, I wish the kids had a healthy set of parents from the start. Both birth parents were stupid & more so selfish than anything. My step kids have taught me a lot & I love them but wish they could of been my own. I'm sorry is that sounds really mean to any birth parents out there.
