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

Thank God I can support BS on my own because I know his dad isn't going to do it.
I love how these parents think that financial support is optional.

Right?? But don't you just know the second she decides to check back in, she will tell them how much money she sent to us and how much she miiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssed them.
Deadbeats suck. They just suck.
EX has been making a little
EX has been making a little effort. I think I got $40 a couple of weeks ago. BS is in competitive wrestling. I told Ex I can not afford to keep him in it if you don't help. Even $30 a week is fine. But I need SOMETHING.

My Ex just doesn't file
My Ex just doesn't file taxes. Like HELLO not only is that stupid, but you could pay off your back CS, make sure that your son is being provided for and follow the law (is it a law, idk) by filing your taxes.
