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 will never leave here. I owe these wonderful people for helping me. If I can give support or be here to listen, I will always be here for others.
I learn so much, just from reading here.
I do not know who you are or
I do not know who you are or about your history here on step talk. My goodness you DO have so much to offer those who are in the shoes you were in.
Many posters no longer consider themselves step parents especially if the child is now an adult AND has been successfully pathogenic parented by custodial parent.
Maybe you need time to adjust, maybe you are just SOOOOO over the ugliness bestoyed upon you as a step mom.
Please consider helping others,,,it does matter and it is helpful.
