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

yup, sd13 didnt say a damn
yup, sd13 didnt say a damn thing on fb even about her own mother, so i guess i shouldnt be too upset or annoyed, although im sure that since she was with her mother today she made a show of it...who knows, who cares?
i, however, had an amazing day with my parents, bd5, sister and nephew. the ultimate gift? bd5 is so close to being able to swim without floaties! so proud of my girl!

No stepping stone- ive often wondered but never asked till now- how did you come about your nicknames? Guess Im curious.
My DH bought a card for all 4
My DH bought a card for all 4 kids to sign (his 2 kids, my 2 kids). Rumor has it one of his kids said they didn't NEED to sign the card because I'm not their mom. Whatever.
When I opened the card and read it, I made a point to personally thank each child... both my kids responded with a hug and an "I love you". His kids wouldn't even acknowledge my "thank you for the card". I was honestly a little surprised when my DH got angry at them for not even looking at me or acknowledging my thank you. Whatever.
My DH sometimes thinks he's the only one to make plans in this house. I had told him 4 days ago that my DD14 wanted to go see a movie so I was going to take her to the 3pm matinee on Saturday. On Saturday, he asked me what time I was taking DD14 to the movie, and I said "3pm". He walked away mumbling that he guessed that meant I wasn't going to get to be taken out to dinner. WTF. So he starts with this passive-aggressive behavior (I honestly think he wanted me to cancel the movie thing, which I DID NOT).
I thanked him PROFUSELY for making Mother's Day seem like a real pain in the ass.
