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
Nope. Unfortunately my son
Nope. Unfortunately my son couldn't join us either since he has a very high exposure job and I'm high risk.
I did a "blended" Thanksgiving ONE time and it was a shit show. I wasn't living with my boyfriend and his kids were all minors. We planned to have him and his kids at my house with my son and 2 sets of grandparents (one set from his side, one from mine). We planned this in advance and the fall down drunk BM had never done anything on thanksgiving before. Well of course that year she decided they had to leave at noon to go have Thanksgiving with her sister and the kids had to go too. We had to eat at 12 noon and she was in my driveway waiting to pick the kids up and they literally left at 12:10. I said never again. Indeed it never happened again.
Nope. Just me and DH. He's
Nope. Just me and DH. He's high risk so we just stayed home.
We haven't seen SS20 since February or so. Fine by me.
