    Having a lot of thoughts, as usual, about how--from Grimms to James and the Giant Peach to Harry Potter--we see abusive guardians portrayed as aunts and step-parents so much more often than as bio-parents.

        I've been told that the first drafts of Grimms *did* have abusive parents, but they changed that to step-parents and whatnot because they felt it would be distressing to children (and undermining parental authority).

        But of course it leaves children with abusive bio-parents bereft of representation when so much of our literature is "my sainted parents were Good and Kind, but they were replaced with abusive distant relatives".

        It would be very interesting, I think, to turn the trope on its head and have a kid who misses their sainted parents only to later grow up and realize they weren't perfect after all.

        I had a lot of feelings about that re: Series of Unfortunate Events, when someone (Violet? In the movie, I think?) pointed out that their parents didn't leave a proper will to take care of them. (Though I think that was double-twisted when we learn they did but it was destroyed.)

        And how often is a female character? It’s usually the step mothers or aunts but not nearly as often step fathers or uncles.

        Very often, yes. Harry Potter is a rare example of both.

        Ooooooof. Yes. You’ve now just given ME a lot of food for thought as child-me also wrote a ton of fiction and this resonates deeply with a lot of that.

        THIS THIS THIS. Sorry but like... Don't get me wrong. I related, hard, to Harry Potter because I went to school and everyone seemed fine and I'd never seen or read about anyone hurt like I was being. But there's exactly that like... Sometimes its your bio parents. OFTEN it is.

        you're so right, and so often even if it is a bio-parent they are later revealed to not be and that they in fact have a supportive bio-parent

        In Matilda her bio parents are the abusers and in George’s Marvelous Medicine it’s the grandmother.

        Indeed, you're right! Though in the case of Matilda, it doesn't sit quite right with me because they *feel* like a "switched at birth" sort of situation. :)
