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

Invite him... If he doesn't make it. It's on him.
If he does. Have them take pictures of everyone and just pics of the ladies. Call photographer ahead of time and request... explain the situation so the PHOTOGRAPHER says "ok now ~ how about one with just the ladies."
Depends. Did you raise him?
Depends. Did you raise him? Were you a significant part in his life growing up? Does he consider you to be "mom" or in the "mom" role? Would he be offended if you didn't tell him about it? I would personally remind my husband that I didn't birth him so I don't want him in this particular photo session.
Just do it. DH will get over
