Step by Wicked Step

An important lesson I learned in Step by Wicked Step by Anne Fine is that children need love
and care as they are the ones who suffer the most in a family break-up. Children need love and
care for they are dependent on their parents during their growing years. They think that their
parents will be there for them always and when parents go their different ways or newcomers
come into the family, they feel let down and sad.
Richard is quite devastated when his father dies and his mother marries the cold and harsh
Reverend Coldstone who turns out to be mean and wicked to him. He feels left out while his
sister tries to adjust to the new situation. He feels that he cannot do the same. He feels that his
mother is also not there for him and so he runs away from home.
Claudia feels miserable to see her parents fighting and is bitterly hurt when her parents break up.
No doubt she adjusts to the new situation after a while but others do not react the same way as
she does. Colin likes his stepfather but his mother takes him away from him and so Colin ends
up suffering a great deal. He spends his life longing to be with his stepfather again.
Ralph, on the other hand, enjoys the love of his many stepmothers and siblings. There is
much disorder in his family but the fact that there is care and love among the members keeps
him and the family going. Pixie has to struggle through some emotions and make adjustments to
understand that she is loved by her father and stepmother. Robbo accepts his stepfather more
readily than his sister does. His sister does not care for their stepfather and she returns to her
father. All these examples show that children instinctively look for love and care and need lots of
reassurance. When that is missing, they feel devastated and are likely to suffer and face great
difficulty in adapting to a changed family situation.
