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

BioHo was PO'd because DH was no longer at her beck and call (translation: DH wasn't available to take the skids AND Spawn whenever 'Ho wanted to go out, get drunk, and find some nookie).

Me too! Which I FOOLISHY did only to be TOLD I still could not see her children!
And now that we are married I am told all the time, you aren't the "mom" you are a friend and nothing else.
I too have an ex husband that re-married, not going to lie and say that there weren't comparisons so rough feelings at first, but after some time I am just happy to have another adult that is good to my kids! It has been 5 years in my case with BM, guess I will always be Cruella DeVille
Is it just me, or does Canada
Is it just me, or does Canada have some pretty screwed up family law statutes and judgements? I mean I know we have our issues with our courts in the US but the crazy seems to run at a whole other level in Canada.

Noticed the date on the article. 2012. Hopefully this dude and his new partner weathered that storm. Both his girls should be out of university now...so if they stick with it, all their money belongs to their household now. Woot!
