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've been a step dad for nearly 20 yrs. It doesn't come easier with time, in fact, it sems to get harder as the years go by. Good luck with every thing,

Greetings Dawn. Bob is right,it doesn't get easier. Thankfully there are others out there who are going through or have been through the same thing. It's been a real sanity saver for me! Greetings from Germany.
Dear Dawn I don't think life
Dear Dawn
I don't think life is easy for any of us these days. But you know there are others out there as happygolucky says. I thought I was so alone in the beginning until I looked on the internet. Most people expected me and my husband to have a child, but I had enough going on with my SD, and then they stopped asking. I wish you all the luck in the world in your journey as a stepparent.
Greetings from the UK.
I've just found this and I
I've just found this and I have to agree. A lot of people want me to have a child of my own but I have to figure out this whole SS thing first.
I understand this completely
I understand this completely up until recently Ive never doubted wanting to have kids with my husband but lately he has been going against everything I say with his daughter and it makes me nervous to have our own kids
