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

Not all. I was like MarieJ - totally above board. Until I got to college. HA! But even then I never lied to my parents.
SDs lie a lot because they can get away with it. SD11 was caught in a big one on Friday. DP should have got on her ass faster about it, but I just didn't talk with her the rest of the night. I don't really trust either one of them and have to remind myself that disengagemnet means exactly that, limit time/effort in ALL ways.

Some kids are worse than others whether they are Skids or not.
