Who is Cinderella's Father


What! He is not her father? Then who is Cinderella's real father? In Grimm's story, Cinderella's father admitted Cinderella is not his own daughter when the prince asked him does he has another daughter, and he replied to him he has only two daughters and anthoer girl - "Cinderella" is just the daughter of his ex-wife. Well, if he called his two step-daughter's as his daughters and Cinderella is not his daughter, is that means the relationship between Cinderella and her father is even less than the relationship between the two step-sisters and the father, or maybe Cinderella's mother and her "father" had never been married and the father just simply wants to keep Cinderella at his house as a maid.

In the beginning of the story, I was curious why the father doesn't care much about Cinderella, and also he did not do anything to help Cinderella when he saw Cinderella was been tortured by his wife and daughters, and this can explain the everything: because Cinderella and her "father" doesn't related.
