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
You don't. You cannot control
You don't. You cannot control anyone but yourself, so.... just stop going on her FB page. What you don't know can't rattle your cage, KWIM?
I have her blocked, but her
I have her blocked, but her "friend" sent me the posts. I usually don't care and friend normally wouldn't send anything but She felt I needed to know because BM is saying lies about me and using my real name.
Oh. Well, then, that sucks.
Oh. Well, then, that sucks. As tough as it is, just ignore it. Can you block her "friend" too? Or is she your friend? Blech. I enjoy FB, but I have to work at ignoring drama that seems to gravitate to it.
unfortunately her online
unfortunately her online friend is my friend! BM does not know that we are friends. All Friend does is send me pics of SGK's. DH and I have ALL BM's kids blocked also. I was tired of seeing her Bad mouth is to whomever would listen.
But when does it become libel
But when does it become libel on FB. I can't wait until I know it is libel.
Def have an attorney send her
Def have an attorney send her a letter. Then, in the event she tries to pull any crap on your family in the future, you will have evidence of her flawed character. Also, print out the original entries made by her. Make sure the date is stamped. You can also send the link to the page, like a snapshot. It's electronic evidence.
I've used fb entries as evidence in court for something. We were awarded twelve thousand in damages one year ago.
Just block the person then
Just block the person then you cant view each others FB pages. My ex's gf was doing the same to me posting pretty bad stuff too but once I stopped looking for them she stopped posting and gave up. You are better than her don't let it get to you.
She knows I can't see it
She knows I can't see it because she is blocked. It is the using my real name that bothers me.
Is she saying things about
Is she saying things about you that are opinions, or is she making up out and out factual lies that are harming you?
Like, if she's saying you are a skanky slut, not much you can do about it. If she is saying you're a convicted sex offender who enjoys perverted things with children, you might be able to sue her. (not a lawyer, just read a few articles on this.)

Not so easy.
If it's just ranting/raving, there's not much you can do about it.
If it's specific, verifiable lies, then you can. However, you often have to prove damages.
You can have a lawyer send a
You can have a lawyer send a cease and desist letter. That is usually enough to scare them off...
