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

Well its not that hard to go
Well its not that hard to go and get a restraining order and then she can't move by you.... Idk y u haven't already honestly.
Yep, we've got the BM around
Yep, we've got the BM around the corner too.
It comes in handy for knowing when the sheriff is at her house. It's amusing to see her try to ninja spy on us from the corner. It makes it easy for the kids to run back and forth and get things as needed. We don't have some long drawn out pick up/drop off routine.
Other than that IT SUCKS. We try not to answer the phone when she calls, so she might just show up in the driveway instead. There's this constant dread of her or her deadbeat acquaintances doing something to our house. I can't walk my dogs around the block. It's way too convenient for her to bring her drama over to our house.
Fortunately the layout of our neighborhood allows me to not have to pass her house when leaving or coming home.
Also, if it's any consolation, even our crazy BM got over the novelty of it and tapered off on the instrusions eventually.
