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

One thing I want to avoid is
One thing I want to avoid is transferring their drama crap to my house.
This is it, exactly. Once your house becomes open to any of them, well, they see it as being open to them. It's no longer yours, it's theirs, too. And BM will start dropping them there.
Having them over (even your DH) negates your whole purpose of buying this house. They will not take you seriously (again) if you let them bring their drama to your new home.
Yay! I'm sooo happy for you!
