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
Yeah - I forget the app but
Yeah - I forget the app but we had eyes on the skids phones when they were minors and on the household computer. They each had a separate login and I could see their internet history remotely.
This is how I found out that my OSD kept a very dark, demented Tumblr about witchcraft and ‘thinspo’ (short for ‘thinspiration’) Basically pictures of painfully thin girls meant to encourage anorexics and bulimics to stay the course.
I’d been telling DH and BM for weeks that OSD was bulimic (I could smell it on her breath and there were always dried vomit flecks in my shower after skid weekends) but they didn’t believe me...
No phones for our kids. Kids
No phones for our kids. Kids and especially teens are NOT responsible enough. The make stupid decisions.
Sorry cant help ya. Track our kids......Dh and I are the GPS of our family.
