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 screenshot quite a few blog post comments because they are full of experience-based wisdom.
ST is the only place I could
ST is the only place I could find others who understand and can relate to my situation. Even your closest relatives, who might try, can not know the emotional stress, the push and pull living in this daily dynamic creates. Here, you find people actually walk similarly in your shoes, and, it does feel great to know you are not alone, you just have normal problems that few understand. ST provides you with people who do understand, who feel your pain on a regular basis too.
