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

My MIL is friends with BM on facebook. Heck BM is friends with just about all of my husband's family on facebook. Heck her BF is friends with my one sil who refused my husbands friend request. I love my MIL though & have a great relationship with her & know that it was BM who made the request not her. I think stuff like that is hard, especially for my husband but what can I do about it other than just than just be fabulous. I am always friendly & outgoing to those that love BM ( my bil & sil) and made my own geniune relationship with my FIL & MIL who I really do enjoy.

Why would you claim something that took your son to the cleaners as a relative on FB?!

I would send her a little note that last time you checked, your DH only had one wife.

you're DIL #2 because you aren't the first wife DH was married to. Its a factual thing nothing else. I know its hard but try not to take this incident personal. It would cause more issues the other way around. MIL is indirectly keeping contact wiht her grandkids perhaps?

i know im gonna sound like a bitch for saying this, but just to play devils advocate, im gonna go ahead and sound like a bitch and say it. you are her 2nd DIL and she has grandkids from the first chick that your dh was married to. stepchicka is right... its just kinda a sucky fact.
