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

What is BM doing, exactly?
What is BM doing, exactly? What makes her undeserving of her kids? That is a really strong statement. If she isn't abusing them, I would say that is a bit harsh...but I don't know the situation.
LOTS of parents buy their kids extravagant gifts at Christmas and throughout the year. Definitely wasn't that way in my household when I was a kid, but it isn't uncommon now for parents to spend hundreds of dollars on each kid. I know firsthand...my fiance does it. I disagree with that...but they are his kids and if he budgets it, that is his business.
it is a strong statement,
it is a strong statement, but i really feel that way. she is an awful parent and uses her kids anyway she can. she doesn't physically abuse them but there is definately mental abuse. it is out of control. she choices men over her children all the time. she has stolen money from their father and even them. she plays her 3 girls against each other so they will side with her. and the 3 girls are really a mental mess. they have no self esteem what so ever, and not only that, but as a parent of a girl there are certain things that should be talked about.
also do not get involved with the financal aspect of what my fiance does financial with his children. that is on him.
Congrats on getting engaged.
