Plus, I like the theory that villains relive their greatest trauma. Rumple was manipulated and bullied, then he bullied and manipulated others. Cora had to bow before royalty, Cora wants to become royalty and make others bow to her. Etc, etc. So, Tremaine tearing this community, this "family" apart is what essentially happened to her. Lady Tremaine is probably upset, over whatever happened to her second daughter. It has nothing to do with her maybe having been Rapunzel.
