yep--have looked and looked for some local support group---I mean dang, there are enough steps out there, just none as desperate as me for help????

Yeah, I don't get it, either. I can't find any support groups either. It doesn't make sense.

I've been going to Mothers and More, but I feel soooo out of place! EVERYONE their is in their late 30s to 40s with young children (4 and under). ANd then there's me. I'm 30 (but look younger with STEPchildren that are 18,16,12, and 7.

They have nothng specific to stepmoms and I asked about starting a group and they said noone has been interested in it, but i pointed out that maybe no one other stepmoms have joined because theres nothing for them. If they had it they might come.

Can you imagine a Steptalk convention? wow, awesome, but highly unlikely, as we are from different states, even countries. Perhaps a video conference haha

I wish they did have a support group in my area. It would be cheaper than going to the shrink since most if not all of my issues that I see the shrink for are about being a stepmother.

It would be great, if we had a "topic" every week and after the topic we have "venting" time

There is one in my area and if I had some extra free time, I would really consider joining.

probably not no. BM lives a few blocks away and I would not be comfortable doing that. If it was a few cities over yes sure, but not too close to home Smile
