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

A vial person is a vial
A vial person is a vial person. Whether a SM or Step Dad murdered or did inexplicable things to their skid, or a BM or Bio Dad who murdered or did inexplicable things to their kid, or some random stranger who murdered or did inexplicable things to a kid.... the world is full of despicable people.
I think it ridiculous to get into some "competition" so to speak, about who is worse.. BM, SM, etc. Bad is bad, what is the point of breaking it down into BM, SM etc? Other than to feed into the "who's better or worse" ridiculousness of this whole step life?
Why does it matter which
Why does it matter which group has the highest number? No matter which camp you fall in, if you're abusing a child, you should be dealt with.
The courts shouldn't turn a blind to BMs who abuse/mistreat their children. Dads shouldn't turn a blind eye to SMs who abuse/mistreat their children.
I saw yet another person on
I saw yet another person on the news for killing their own child and just occurred to me that I could name at least 3 different bm's who killed their own kids and not one SM came to mind. And yet they call us the evil ones.
