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
I tend to agree
Her "fiance" has also got the same information on his MySpace page, so it may very well be true. However, I have relayed information before that I got from "spying" and it always seemed as if I was the bad guy. Never mind the crummy things she was doing. This is on her. If she is actually getting married it is her responsibility to invite/include her father. I have disengaged from her because it hurt too much to watch her screwing up her life. Her mother was a drug addict and ever since she was 4 I have done all the motherly things - first haircut, doctor visits, orthodontist, tutors, etc. Now that she is 18 she has moved to the same city where her mother is, moved in with the boyfriend, and seems to have forgotten everything I tried to teach her.
I am SO glad I found this website. I really need to talk about this stuff and my husband and I can't discuss it.
Thanks
OK, OK, OK
If you're not on her friends
If you're not on her friends list, then don't say anything. Pretend you never saw it. If you are on her friends list, I would go ahead & mention it. Its sad, you guys can't talk about her at all?

I will pretend I never saw it
I am not on her friends list, her profile is set to private, but I can view it by going to the fiance's page. No, we can't talk about her at all. Before she moved out she had all her accounts and passwords on our home computer. I hate myself for doing it, but I spied on her bank account, MySpace and email accounts. She was getting in touch with old boyfriends and saying she still had feelings. Talking about having sex with other guys she knew, and generally being a tramp. This was happening while her "fiance" was at Basic training. I called her on it. Of course, I got a nasty phone call from her mother. My husband was furious with me. So, my new approach is not to be involved in any way.
Unfortunately.
That's how things tend to be sometimes.
We care so much and then they throw it back in our faces like we're nothing.
bad 'guy'
yup thatz us, steps that want to try and help because we care about our SO and how this will effect them we care how it will affect the family we can see that our SO might have ROSE colored glasses on when it comes to thier angels.. so we try to help them see how it is not ok to spoil these "babies"
but we are the bad guys???
man what alternate universe is it that we live in???
