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 agree with Mazzy. My DH
I agree with Mazzy. My DH does the exact same thing. Says nothing after I pour my heart out. Just very recently, he has started to work thru some things I truly needed him to step up to the plate on & I beyond appreciate it!! Helps me feel like he did hear me afterall
Just two or so wks ago, Dh said to me that he doesnt know how to vocalise to me how he is feeling or what he is thinking. More importantly to me, he said he knew how to deal with how his kids sometimes treat me.
Honestly, it meant the world to me to know he was "getting it" and that he knows i dont deserve it. Maybe your DH is the same way. Maybe he is taking it all in and really doesnt know what to say but is hearing you.
Mazzystar mayb that will
Mazzystar mayb that will work...the direct question approach,i was so emotional. It infuriated me when he didnt even console me when he could see im hurting. Its hard being honest, I searched repeatedly for months on how to tell him I hate your kids & im throwing in the towel! Ugh! I cant be honest with him any more. I tried the email & writing him a lettr & that pissed him off last yr. He told me we shouldnt have to write letters!! Well im lost. Hurt.pained.confused.drained.....etc
And yet he goes to work & im here forced to deal.
