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 KNOW!!! OMG!!! You know
I KNOW!!! OMG!!! You know damn well I'm going to DVR every single episode of Judge Judy until that episode airs.
I don't know the whole story yet because my H couldn't tell me with SD hanging around. But what I do know already is that one of the kids damaged the car and BM refused to accept responsibility for it (surprise, surprise :sick: ) and the friend just wanted BM to pay her $500 deductible to get the damage repaired. It figures that BM would screw a friend over that way - she's such slime.
If my kid damaged someone's vehicle, you bet your ass I would pay the deductible - then I would make my kid pay me back. There is no way on Gods green earth that I would not repair damage done to someone else's property - stranger or friend.
And I am hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping that Judge Judy sees BM for the low-life she is and really chews her out. OMG - I would even send Judge Judy a Thank You card and a bouquet of flowers. I'll buy the season DVD set and watch it over and over and over again.
In a no-fault state is there
In a no-fault state is there a legal requirement to pay someone else's deductible in the event of an accident? I mean, I know that there is the "right" thing to do, but "right" and "legal" don't always collide.
I will be checking my tv
I will be checking my tv guide and Judge Judy's website often to find out when this episode airs! Omg, to see Judge Judy tell off a psycho bm will be AWESOME!!!

There was just a case on this
There was just a case on this past week where 4 girls vandalized another friend's family car. Two parents paid up, and two mother's refused to pay. They girls were like 16 or so...does that sound familiar?
