Glad to have found the site- will be joining your ranks in 2 short weeks(can you say living my life with lists?!) with a wonderful 7 year old girl and her dad. I'm thinking of writing a kind of short keepsake letter to give her. Any feedback? Thanks- you folks rock! Greetings Ladies from Indy!

At the bottom of each Forum/Topic is the familiar RSS icon with the words "TOPIC RSS". Kinda hard to find but useful. The Husband and SSM tech support guy.

I really like that. I also like the idea that exists of being able to call out for support, or help, or just to be able to enter a thought into the void so that I can get it off my chest. I like the idea of finding other women that need help too. I have already met 2 women in UT where I live through other blogs. I appreciate their immediate friendship so much. This blog and forum does wonders for women like myself. I would really enjoy a weekly topic. I really like that.

I have been a stepmom for almost 6 years. In the beginning, I searched high and low for group that could share my concerns, frustrations and also provide insight, advice and encouragement. Hooray for stemmother's milk! I will be a regular. I am thrilled to have stumbled upon this forum. I have been a stepmom for almost 6 years.

I'm hoping to create a space that allows women to come together and feel better about their situation, not worse! I'm thrilled to see some voices in the forum appear in the last couple of days that I have not seen before. I hope other readers will follow suit.

A lot of times when I visit stepmom forums I feel flooded with overwhelming negative stories. I think the trick with forums is to keep them structured and moving in interesting directions -- left to their own devices, they seem to get super negative. So mostly I stay away from them. Your forum doesn't feel like that -- I guess I just feel wary of the forums in general. But if you were there to moderate and guide the conversation a little more, that might be fun.
