Explanation
I think (based on experience with my former wife who has a stepfather) that this is not a complex, this is real disability, because she was not taught by her father how to manage things, how to work at kitchen (or was prevented from being taught). She is not prepared for role in family. The main concern of her stepfather was how to get rid of her, not how to make her skilful human. This is why she is not able to get a partner.

Moreover a child learns behavior from his parents. She had learned from a man who was substituting her father how to fight with her for resources. This experience has become her way to live. When she grows older it becomes obvious that this learnt behavior is devastating.

If to say literally this is "complex complex" i.e. a host of stubborn problems

"how to work at kitchen " what does that even mean? Generally what you write here is offensive. You imply that: she is disabled because she can't "work at kitchen" [sic]. Kitchen-related activities are her "role in family". She can't find a partner because she lacks "skills", presumably the kitchen-related ones you mentioned, right? Her father didn't teach her how to "manage" things - but where was her mother? Anyway, apart from the fact that this is a talk page for the article and not a forum, so we didn't need to read your opinion on your ex-wife's upbringing and its effect on her current love life, your anecdote is in no way related to the subject of the article i.e. "the Cinderella complex". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.196.118.133 (talk) 02:59, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

That upper description is not offensiv, it reads quite plausible. I know a person who matches the described setting, not the particular example, but she rejects to be a fully self-supporting person.

It is not about being a "stay at home woman" but it is about lack of indenpendence up to a certain degree. --88.153.188.26 (talk) 22:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)--88.153.188.26 (talk) 22:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

The sentence: The complex is said to become more apparent as a person grows older. Needs a citation — Preceding unsigned comment added by AtThStudio (talk • contribs) 18:02, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

POV
Why this article is not NPOV? It's pretty obvious but some dude demanded that I should justify my tag:

Careful examination of this work reveals many flawed or vague concepts. Where is the proof?

 * I changed it to original research, since that's the first problem. It may well represent the consensus view, but no sources are cited and it seems like little more than someone's opinions. --Fl e x (talk/contribs) 02:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Topic confusion
Is this article about false accusations of abuse, or about women wanting to be taken care of? One or the other should be moved to its own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Efalk (talk • contribs) 23:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Cinderella syndrome is sometimes used to describe false accusations of abuse, sometimes to describe higher paye being offered to better dressed women: both usages seem different from the complex the page is now about, both should perhaps have their own page.....Jacobisq (talk) 10:04, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Interesting topic though a little vague in the whole message. Maybe more resources are needed to make this article longer and more generalized. Dazie71 (talk) 01:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
