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 100% with the part
I agree 100% with the part that states flexibility is a better indicator for success than blendedness or closeknittedness.
I am all for the separate
I am all for the separate everything. Two trees at Christmas, excellent! This is why I ended up in my own place. I still have a SO and skids, but we only get some of us together for certain events.
This is because only some of us know how to be humans
I still stay over with SO sometimes and he with me and some of the skids come with him some of the time.
But it is our call on who can come and if a skid can sleep over.
Had to learn the hard way.
I suppose at some point we will cohabitate again. But for now, this works
