Calling all step parents - do you feel this board is a safe and supportive place to post?

I would like to know, and would like @mnhq to know, how actual step parents feel about this board.

Do you feel you can be honest here? Seek support? Generally chat about the realities of step parenting?

Do you feel that this board is just used as a place to kick others when they're down?

I have complained to mn several times about this issue and they refuse to take me seriously, so I would like to hear from others who use or would like to use this board for support.

Hello everyone.

We've read all your comments here and while it's good that quite a few of you have said there have been improvements on this board in recent years, it's pretty clear from what you're saying that we're not quite there yet.

We're not likely to see a post unless it's reported to us - and so we do need the users of this board to let us know when they see something. We absolutely do not allow abusive posts and will always delete these when reported.

We appreciate the specific challenges that step-parenting brings - and this should be a space for people to talk about this and feel supported without worrying about personal attacks. With all this in mind, we'll also make a point of intervening earlier on threads that are reported to us.

Thank you.
