This guess is based on the fact that in Orin's [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas shrine to his mother]] in the movie, her photo is really a picture of actress Pam Ferris. When Orin was little, Trunchbull was at the height of her career as an Olympic athlete, so even though her son idolized her, he rarely saw her and it was mostly his father who raised him. When her career ended, she realized she was too independent for marriage and too much of a ChildHater for motherhood (at least not when there was no material gain in it for her, the way their would later be when she became her niece [[spoiler: Jennifer Honey]]'s guardian). So she and Mr. Scrivello split up, Mr. Scrivello took custody of Orin, and they never heard from her again. Orin pretends his mother is dead because he can't bear to acknowledge that she abandoned him. Obviously, he inherited his sadism from her. As for why she told him that teaching wouldn't suit him when she herself is a SadistTeacher... well, Trunchbull knows how to pass off her sadism as punishments the schoolchildren deserve for breaking rules, but Orin couldn't get away with that because his sheer pleasure in torturing people is too obvious.
