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 don't understand what that
I don't understand what that has to do with my post. What I said could have easily been turned around to you should have to earn the title Dad as well.
I am sure you are a good mother, so what I said has nothing to do with you.

I guess I don't mind that I
I guess I don't mind that I don't have to deal with drama from her very often, however I guess it sucks I do ALL the work but have to listen constantly to how they want their mom, and their mom used to do....(fill in the blank.) I am sure that will never change, I guess I was just important to them in the same way sometimes.
It may seem like a thankless
It may seem like a thankless job now, but I am know alot of stepkids, and when they older they tend to get it. Their eyes open up and they see who was really there for them. Just wait.

I know what you are going
I know what you are going through. SD's BM rarely saw her for years. I think it just makes them more screwed up in the head when they come and go in/out of their lives that way!
My ex-husband voluntarily
My ex-husband voluntarily signed off on his rights to our 2 kids. Then he disappeared for 13 years. Now he wonders why the kids don't want to have anything to do with him. It's not fair to the kids but it is what is happening out there.
