Few deal with direct parental abuse or malfeasance. They get around this with wicked or evil stepmothers- as in Cinderella and others, in affect giving the whole idea of adoption a bad name. On the other hand there are hazards apart from witches and wild animals- for some bizarre reason maternal love is conspicuous in its absence- as with many Disney stories- Look at Mermaid. Mom is evidentally deceased- yet there are no picture of her around the palace- ( surely King Neptune would memorialize his Queen) and so on. there are all sorts of subtle hints of the Electra complex ( nothing to do with aircraft or radio electronics). Dr. Wertham, who authored Seduction of the Innocent saw a tacit and real absence of normal family life- in Comic Books as well, he remarked that Mother-Love was essentially unknown in comic books, even if they did have an existential family setting.

Some Fairy Tales that feature bad mothers include "Cinderella" with the evil stepmother, "Hansel and Gretel" with the wicked witch who is often interpreted as a maternal figure, and "Snow White" with the jealous queen who acts as a cruel mother figure to Snow White. These stories often highlight themes of jealousy, cruelty, and the resilience of the protagonist in the face of maternal adversity.

Is there a bad end in fairy tales?
depends if your the baddy or not. I cannot think of any fairy tales where the main characters have had a bad ending. It's probably due to the fact that fairy tales are aimed at young children and if it had a bad ending then it might distress them. ____ Actually, there are several fairy tales that have bad endings. The Gingerbread Man is one, and most versions of Chicken Little. If you go with the Grimm version, there are even more. Although many stories have been changed to be more positive, many of the original tales were told as cautionary tales, to warn them about bad things that could happen.
