The ‘evil stepmother’ trope is one of the oldest family archetypes in literature and mythology. It’s present in Cinderella, Snow white, and countless other folktales. I’m prone to thinking clichés exist for a reason, and I’m sure modern psychology eventually started paying attention to why this figure appears so consistently.

Marriage vows typically contain a phrase that refers back to the “what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine” idea; the way we think about that union has been ingrained in us for centuries. However, when one thinks of that, one thinks of shared belongings, goods, food, and shelter, not about claiming authorship for everything our partner has done before we were even in the picture.

Any form of inheritance symbolically means ‘you belong to this line’, and the father’s intent on forcing the son not to accept what his grandfather is giving to him, to me, reveals the father’s hidden interest in the son remaining his heir (remaining on his family line) and not his grandfather’s. The question is, why does this inheritance spark so much rivalry?

24-year-old daughter refuses to answer her father’s calls during her graduation ceremony after he decided not to go because it was “too far away”, arrives home to find a series of angry texts: ‘This showed him how little I cared about it’
