I've encounter barely any evil, violence, violence or danger in my life on a personal level, let alone the amount seen in fairy tales. It's quite unclear how reading the Grimms would have better prepared me for anything at all. If anything they'd have mislead me.

Lots of people use their experiences with fairy tales to internally deal with things like abusive relatives/relationships, prejudice, rejection, homelessness etc.
