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

Real crap is better than my skid because it can be flushed down the toilet never to be seen again.

My boyfriend's mom feels the same way, yet she won't let his evil adult children in her home because of their disrespect. They also scare her bc they have absolutely no compassion or kindness.
In this woman's mind, blood is thicker than water. She even told me that they must be the only beneficiaries on his insurance policy, death benefits, etc., (even though they treat him horribly and continue to get worse, and would probably blow the money on drugs and God knows what else). I do not understand it, I never will.
You should tell her you know
You should tell her you know that that does not apply-I mean you sure as hell dont love MIL, right so why would you love his spawn?
I too love the hipocrisy.
I too love the hipocrisy. BM's mother is married to a man who has MANY kids (more than 10), but only two (his youngest, I believe) with BM's mother. BM's mother will say that his "other" kids are "nothing to her." And yet she was the first one to get all up in arms and in my DH's face when she didn't think I was treating her precious baby granddaughter (SD8 and up) the way BM' mother thought I should (you know, give her everything she wants, cater to her every need, never discipline her, etc.). Look in the mirror, woman!
I couldn't agree more! My DH
I couldn't agree more! My DH when I mentioned this the other day, just laughing really, he said "I used to think that too, but not anymore..." My response? "Yeah, ahole! After making my life HELL for years, after causing so much stress when I was pregnant with our son, when OUR son was a baby, after ruining me financially to give your loser kid...ahole! I'm glad you now get it!"
Thanks for the advice...she
Thanks for the advice...she actually did this for YEARS including last year...but I have not seen or spoken to her in any way, shape or form since May of 2010...we live about an hour away...I have even told my DH that if I am in the hospital, if I die, whatever...he is NOT to let that woman know. I could care less what he thinks after 12yrs of hell thanks to that woman. If my DH just has to be with his mommy, he can go...I'll be just as as happy...
