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

Why isn't he calling his mom?
Why isn't he calling his mom? Even if she is a piece of trash, if your ss loves her then you should be giving him the push and opportunity to contact her. It is Mother's Day, not his birthday/graduation/Christmas/other random holiday. I do not expect my mom to call me in Mother's Day. I call her. That is how it works for most people. My sd called her mom (we told her to and aided her in doing so). We wouldn't expect her mom to call her. It is Mother's Day, not kid's day. Maybe I am missing something?
Yeah-he's been trying to
Yeah-he's been trying to reach her all day.
It's kind of hard to call your mother on Mother's Day when she doesn't even turn her phone on.
Ok, now that makes sense
Ok, now that makes sense then, you are waiting for a call back.
Not even, the last number she
Not even, the last number she gave us goes straight to "this caller is not available. A voicemail box has not been set up yet". Not even a ring.
I went as far as to contact both her sister and mother and the number we're calling is correct.
We even called the bar she
We even called the bar she works at, she's not working tonight.
He even got her plant after
He even got her plant after she PROMISED him she would see him today.
We spent time making cards.
What is even more sick, is that she called SO and made plans to see him-of course she called SO after telling SS11. We told him we would go anywhere/do anything to accommodate him seeing her today if she called or asked. I have 27 attempts on my cell phone, 12 on SO's and 4 from our house number. We spent time making a card for her-we encouraged him to spend time to get massively let down and that pisses me off more than anything.
This is not anyone's fault but her own.
Ugh. I seriously can't take
Ugh. I seriously can't take this. Thinking of your SS with his card and plant, waiting for even the smallest gesture from her- I can't even.
You want to know what blows
You want to know what blows even more?!
The fact that I helped and encouraged this shit.
All for him to be blown off. STILL haven't heard a word from her.
