It sounds too extreme to be real.
That said, my mother lost her mother when she was 4 years old. Her mom took her own life, my mom witnessed the aftermath and was already traumatized as hell.
My grandfather remarried and that woman did everything she could to get rid of my mom.
People can become better, and my step grandmother did. She apologized to my mom and owned what she did, and she was pretty good with me and my siblings when we were growing up.
The shit she put my mom through was insane. She told my mom that her mom was in hell burning because she killed herself. My mom and her step siblings got lice at school and she shaved my mom’s head but not theirs (12 years old too, so she got bullied on top of that humiliation), told my mom she looked too much like her mom and was ugly (and honestly, my mother was one of the most beautiful people around. When I was growing up I heard comments constantly, “Bro! Your sister is hot!” “That’s my mom jackass!”)
The list goes on and on. She succeeded in getting rid of my mom when she hit about 13. My mom’s youngest sibling was more than 10 years older than her, so she spent her teens moving around between her older brother and sisters until she married at 16, and has been on her own since.
Yes, the evil stepmother trope certainly exists for a reason. I myself had... well there's plenty of evil to go round. Can I interest you in a chocolate covered pretzel? If this one doesn't ring especially true to me, that's not to say these people don't exist.
