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

Since being a stepmum for the
Since being a stepmum for the second time, I have been through every emotion there is, I have felt jealous, resentful and on the positive side, love and happiness, I've had to deal with 2 crazy Bm's, neither had a moral between them, the first time was easy and the second very difficult, the difference was that my first skids knew I must be respected, their father just did'nt put up with had behaviour, the second time, my bf did guilt parenting, so we've had 2 yrs of rowing, shouting and me threatening to leave, thankfully he has stopped that now, sometimes I look back and cannot believe Im still here, my bf and I still love each other, my Sd6 loves me, so Im in a good place at the moment, I would like to think I've had a positive effect on my Sd, I know that it could all go to pot at any minute, when I think of my future I just can't see us all together, so I suppose that deep down Im still not sure. I will keep plodding on for now.
