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 have posted about this case
I have posted about this case several times - it's in my backyard.
It's truly disgusting what this woman has done to her kids.
As you might imagine, it's a very divisive topic in my neck of the woods. A mom support group is very vocal and has even flown a banner (towed by an airplane) over the kids' schools while school was in session. She is a sick and pissed off broad.
I think her current attorneys are numbers 15 and 16, or something like that. You KNOW that when that many attorneys come and go that the client is a loon who won't listen to their suggestions.
they aren't doing poorly in
they aren't doing poorly in school. I have a friend who is a teacher of one of the kids. It's only MOM saying that they are doing poorly.
I admire this man for not
I admire this man for not "giving up" on his children. I don't know many people who could've tolerated this level of PAS and the stress of the legal battles for this long. Kudos to the judge for telling then enough is enough. I hope this shuts the loon of a mother down for good.
the kids are currently living
the kids are currently living with dad. The judge who has the case now is the Chief Judge of the Family Division. She's been around the block a bazillion times. She is only the second judge assigned to the case.
It's only the mom's attorneys who have been coming and going, not the judges.
Also, while there were several allegations made against dad by mom, and the police reports to prove it, dad was never charged with anything.
This woman is a piece of work, no doubt about that.
