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 don't want to spend all my time thinking about BM and the skids!

Yeah...sometimes I feel the same. Like maybe it fuels the frustration and rumination rather than solving it. But other times I feel it really helps me put my life in perspective.

I agree with this. I'm on a lot but I always try to wait a day or two before posting any of my personal dramas. Same with dealing with BM, it's so easy to see her fit in a pattern of another BM here I've read about or SS start behaving like a skid on here and I'm quick to jump to one conclusion instead of letting solutions form organically. I do enjoy the experiences people share on here and I like being able to know what's a pattern of behavior or knowing how others have felt in the same situation.
