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

My son (SS-21) has for the most part been a great kid since his mom and I started dating when he was 15mos old and married a week before he turned 2yo. Aside from the teen boy/young man brain farts he has managed to avoid the consequences associated with the shallow and polluted end of his gene pool.
Congratualations on having a decent kid in your blended family. At least decent right now.

I have seen a difference in SD here lately. It hasn't been too bad, and she seems to be making an effort. I just always wait for the shoe to drop. DH and I were talking about this the other night, and he is convinced that BM likes to stir the pot when things are going well with be and SD, because she feels threatened by our relationship. When we get along, we get along GREAT.
