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

God, I'd hate that. Sorry to hear. Maybe a 'me' day shopping or out? I haven't followed your blog so don't know your SD's age but if she is anything over 12 I'd be outta there.

im gonna have to use that one of these days. My mom offered to have me come over and hang out, so at least i wont be alone with her.
Honestly this disengaging is going really amazing for me. its only day two. but i feel a ton better. and we are all getting along pretty great.
she actually did the dishes today.
she has lived with us over a year (her mom is in another state) and she has NEVER cleaned anything. she doesn't even clean her own room, we have to stand there and tell her what to do step by step. its annoying. but anyways she actually did the dishes!! i was shocked!! we bought a chore tracker is kid friendly, i finally put it up today, and she actually wants to get her little smiley face. i hope this lasts.
this website has really made all the difference for me, three days ago i was ready to throw in the towel but right now i feel really hopeful.
