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

Oh, boy,... I shouldn't blog
Oh, boy,... I shouldn't blog tonight. Migraine.. not good for thinking (or typing for that matter)

Even after 5 1/2 years, and
Even after 5 1/2 years, and multiple therapists...
There are times I can sense DH questioning it. Every time I leave for a weekend, and/or he takes her for a weekend somewhere else. She's over the top happy about it and will not bait him.
The minute we're all back together again, BOOM the baiting begins.
Sometimes I wonder myself.
That's when I know it's time to get her back to therapy, and thereby US back to family therapy. Because when I start to wonder is when our marriage is at risk.
Hope you can talk about it with someone, if not with us. I think sometimes talking about it with DH plants the idea and he wasn't even thinking of it before I mentioned it.
