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

Get him away from his evil
Get him away from his evil hag mother and things are different. Imagine that.
Wow, I could not downshift
Wow, I could not downshift that fast, but hey sounds like he's a typical teenager, figures all is forgiven and forgotten while he's there.
Wow, so weird.
Wow, so weird.
Would he of acted the same if DH was there?
Absolutely. Its like once he
Absolutely. Its like once he is out of her physical reach- light switch!!
As you know, my SS was
As you know, my SS was exactly the same. I just don't think he can think for himself when he's around BM, my SS20 still can't to this day. It's just easier to think what BM tells you to think when you don't have a good sense of self.
You need a bodycam to capture
You need a bodycam to capture that for court... Just in case it's needed someday.
Glad things are going well.
For real. So freaking stupid.
For real. So freaking stupid. I am sure that it would get spun around into he felt like he HAAADDD to hug those monsters or he would get beaten and thrown in their dungeon!
AWE!! I got a bit teary
AWE!! I got a bit teary reading that. I had a feeling he was gonna be relieved to be there. Did he address not texting his travel update?
I hope your DH got the same super warm reception <3
Enjoy your time, I hope BM takes a long walk off a short pier while he is there.
Does your DH plan to sit down
Does your DH plan to sit down with him and talk through what is happening with BM? I'm glad he wasn't hostile, but I do think your DH needs to have a Come to Jesus chat with his son. And I think he and SS need to come up with a plan for SS that doesn't put SS in the middle.
This longer time with SS is the time to get it all out there, and early. It may give your DH clarity on how to move forward for his son's sake.
We are going to have a big
We are going to have a big sit down once my kids leave next week. We don't want them to take any of the fallout. It isn't going to be pretty and I am 100% I will be known as a wicked stepmother when this is over.
