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
Wow
Your own kid? Over something he had no control over? Sure, it's not wrong--Seriously? Don't you purport to be a highly educated person? You should know better. My son is the spitting image of my Ex. I have never ever loved him one iota less nor resented him because of how our DNA shook up and turned out. Wonder how your son feels about you--because believe me he knows how you feel about him.
check the post title and other posts
I think OP is referrring to the fact that her partner doesnt like his own child much. He loves him but doesnt like the person he is becomming and growing into.
The OP doesnt seem to be talking about their own bio child.
Not sure who is really posting here, but
No sure who is really posting here, but this child knows his Dad resents him and doesn't like him and that is influencing his poor behavior. Dad needs to get some therapy and in the meantime, maybe letting the kid spend more time with his Mom is a good idea.
Yeah, this is not normal and
Yeah, this is not normal and you should find a therapist.
My son is the spitting image
My son is the spitting image of his father (my ex)- there is nothing that would even remotely decrease my love for him. He is MY child.
It's not normal for a bio
It's not normal for a bio parent.. but it can be normal for a stepparent to see their partner's ex and have that be triggering.
If you are the father here really posting.. you need to get yourself in therapy if you are resenting your child like that.. I don't care if your EX didn't let you be around as much or if you hate her.. this kid does'nt deserve to be resented because his parents are AH's.
"lol"?

Cmon now. So immature.
Nope.
Nope.
