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
So true! What is so sad is
So true! What is so sad is the very person/people who are alienating our children were more than likely the perspn who abandoned them in the first place. The kids have a double whammy which we can see but the kids are completely victimized. No matter how stable the home invironment a child who has been abandoned by a parent wants that parent back in their life, wants their love and acceptance, and most times fall for the charm of that individual. Then the child makes allowances (justifications) for the parent's behavior. It is sick! Been dealing with it since my husband and I divorced 23 years ago. My kids are adults now and the damage is very much there.
