Could it be true that Cinderella was right and stepmothers really are wicked?

Of course, we wouldn't say that. Did you know that the original version of Cinderella portrayed a mother as the wicked parent? Apparently, people had a hard time believing that a mother could do that so the Brothers Grimm later changed the story to a wicked stepmother. I think it’s time we change the story again. The next time you hear someone throw a stepmom under the bus let them know that you are grateful for the millions of stepmothers who are loving and caring for children not their own.
