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

Good advice but too bad
Good advice but too bad Disrespected Out West didn't ask for advice sooner.
Should be a reality TV show.
Should be a reality TV show. The StepMom Wives. They all place a generous layer of Vaseline between their upper lip and upper gum line then smile like there's no tomorrow. Full frontal lobotomy is recommended but not required. Tranquilizers will do.
I think that everyone goes
I think that everyone goes into these situations with rose colored glasses on. How else could there be a StepTalk? HAHA
But in reality is a damned if you do...damned if you don't situation for most of us steps.
Dear Disrespected Out
Dear Disrespected Out West.
You should allow your soon to be SD the time she needs with her father in order to help her feel safe and loved.
She just hasn't recovered from her parent's divorce yet.
A COD has many hurdles to overcome and by not having empathy for SD, it is evident that you harbor some hatred for this young woman.
This would have been more typical of Dear Abby.
I agree with WOB's comment at the top!
Just the fact that "Allen" is asking his fiance to give in to his daughter's demands would have been enough for most women to end their engagement!
