Can't you just be happy for MY kid for once?

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

Can't you just be happy for MY kid for once?

My BS16 has an interview today, he told me last night when I got home from work. He has been trying really hard to find a job. When my DH got home I was so excited to tell him about it.

This was the conversation.

ME: "DH, BS16 has an interview tomorrow! I hope he gets the job!"
DH: "Maybe he can get SS17 an interview."

.... That was it. Gee, thanks DH. He cannot be genuinely happy for my kids. It always loops back around to his kids in some way.
