Why do step-parents tend to be so abusive towards theur step-children? Paxton F

In stories such as Harry Potter, Cinderella, and Jane Eyre, the orphaned character stays with step-parents or relatives that treat the character very poorly, often poking into the territory of abuse. Why do would this be such a recurring theme?
