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 know as a stepmom myself
I know as a stepmom myself that sometimes steps get over looked. She has be through the BM from hell. My nephews mother is everything dad about BM's. she is medically, emotionally, physically neglectful. She is a lier, has taught my nephew to do the same. She disappears for weeks, she will lie to save her ass even if it means my nephew takes the fall with dad for being a lier. BM is a woman I could be happy never seeing again.
My SIL deals with all this, my whiny nephew and still loves him. He is a good kid stuck in a bad situation. He isn't like the kids here. He is just a kid. He has his moments of bad, but unlike most of the step parents here, he actually gives his stepmom the good too. He does love her, he does try to respect her. He does think about her.
So I believe she does need to be remembered today too!!!
