It is nothing to do with Regina's character. The problem is the basic set up of the story endorses the idea of only blood parentage mattering and adoptive parents are nothing. That Regina is a little bit psycho only makes it worse.

There is a nasty implication in regards adoptees and adoptive parents that is really rather sickening, but that is the producers and writers fault due to the way they shaped the world. I get that they have to work within the fairy tale convention of wicked stepmother, but it could be handled a lot better.

How?

You're trolling right? You just want an explanation so you can quibble over definitions and split hairs over it to try and make yourself look smart. You've no intention on actually finding out, otherwise you'd have seen it in the show and not needed the explanation. Go fuck yourself.

I guess you don't have an answer.

Dude you forgot to accuse the first anon of being a rape apologist too, you should still get that in.

DA

I know, right? Geppetto/Pinnochio and King George/James got along pretty well. Whereas Anton's brothers regularly treated him badly and Belle's father is a jerk to her.

Also, Cora's treatment of Regina.

The bad treatment by blood relative far outnumber the bad treatment by adoptive relatives.

Even Granny's raising Red can be called an adoption. We haven't seen them interact much since the curse broke, but I bet they treat each other better now than they did during the curse. Even in FTL, I don't remember them being as bitter and angry. But even then, they loved each other.

A little bit psycho? She spent the entire first season trying to discredit her son and keep the curse from breaking. She tried to get Abigail killed. She tried to get Emma killed repeatedly and then put under a sleeping curse so that it wouldn't break. She killed Graham because he pissed her off. And that's not even counting what she did in fairy tale land.

Then when the curse was broken she would've used magic to hurt people if she knew how to control it. She would've killed David if she hadn't been interrupted. At the end she teamed up with her mother and AGAIN tried to kill them. She said herself that the evidence was so much against her that it's no surprise they believed it.

They may not make the best case about adoptive and blood parents but it's crap to act like Regina should be around a small child.
