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 definitely think a child is
I definitely think a child is honoring his/her parent by acting respectfully towards his/her chosen partner.
If a child honoured his
If a child honoured his parents, he would respect their life choices. Not necessarily like them, but accept that their parent is a grown man or woman and has made the choice to remarry. In honouring their parents and respecting the right of their parent to make that choice, they would never insult, isolate, ignore or be verbally, let alone physically abuse to the parents spouse. That would or should be enough for the new spouse, to be treated as a human being in a well mannered and polite way. To be accepted as the spouse of their parent, is at least acceptance. When children go out f their way to create division in the lives of their parents and new spouses, that is hardly honouring they father and thy mother. That is honouring thyself and trying to get everything your own way.
