Father absence
Parental separation affects a child’s development. Early parental divorce (during primary school) has been associated with greater internalising and externalising behaviour problems in the child, while divorce later in childhood or adolescence may dampen academic performance. Children of unmarried parents tend to suffer greater emotional and social difficulties than others do. Whilst father absence mainly results from parental divorce and separation, other factors such as family poverty, developmental difficulties have been associated with father absence, the effects of which have been explained by various theoretical approaches.

How close are you to your step father?

Not too close but he's nothing like the "evil stepmothers" that are portrayed in literature.
Though less common in literature than evil stepmothers, there are also cases of evil "stepfathers", such as in the fairy tales "The Gold-Bearded Man" (in a plot usually featuring a cruel father) and "The Little Bull-Calf".

The presence of this stigma has had a powerful, negative impact on stepmothers' self-esteems. In fiction, stepmothers are often portrayed as being wicked and evil.

The Juniper Tree (fairy tale)
"The Juniper Tree" is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. In some editions the story is called The Almond Tree. The text in the Grimm collection is in Low German. It was believed until the early 1970s that the Brothers Grimm re-adapted various oral recountings and fables heard from local peasants and townspeople in order to write their well-known fairy tales. However, various critics including Vanessa Joosen argue that this assumption is false, based on an overwhelming amount of disputing evidence. Literary critic Walter Scherf, argued that the Grimm brothers were inspired by the painter Philipp Otto Runge's original adaptation of "The Juniper Tree," originally written as "The Almond Tree".
Jungian archetypes
In Jungian psychology, archetypes are highly developed elements of the collective unconscious. The existence of archetypes can only be deduced indirectly by using story, art, myths, religions, or dreams. Carl Jung understood archetypes as universal, archaic patterns and images that derive from the collective unconscious and are the psychic counterpart of instinct. They are inherited potentials which are actualized when they enter consciousness as images or manifest in behavior on interaction with the outside world. They are autonomous and hidden forms which are transformed once they enter consciousness and are given particular expression by individuals and their cultures.
