Annabeths stepmom

Was Annabeths stepmom truly bad? From the way Annabeth speaks about her it’s like she doesn’t care about Annabeth, only her younger brothers. There is also the flashback to when her stepmom wasn’t taking her spider fear seriously in MoA. However, when we meet her in PJO she seems truly concerned about Annabeth. Given that, do you guys think she’s just as apathetic as Annabeth says or is she a good person, but given a bad title as evil stepmom?
