The rescuers

Sometimes there is a disconnect between what you thought and what was real?

It doesn't take long for children, or people, to know what they are "supposed" to feel. Books, television, other people, all conspire to provide the background they feel is right or appropriate.

This doesn't allow for ignorance, or the characteristics inherent in different people. All witches are bad. All Fairy Godmothers are good. Princes are charming, but elves can be frighteningly misleading.

Keeping things simple and clear means finding the roles you expect to find in the places you expect them to be, but then, when the facts don't quite support the reality, it can be disconcerting.

Mothers are loving caretakers. Fathers are genius money makers. Children are happy, beautiful, well behaved. Grandmothers are rescuers . . .

But wait, rescuers from what?

When the fairy tale gets real, that is when problems occur.
