Emma is right though. Regardless of their reasons, which are all irrelevant, Snow and Charming sent Emma through for everyone else, because she is the savior and because of that choice Emma was alone her whole life. We have no idea what Emma went through except we know she was abused and neglected in some way. That is never going to go away and always be true. They can move forward, but not by pretending that Emma wasn’t truly harmed by being sent away.
They can move from there. Emma was harmed. That was real. Now let’s move forward from here and learn to trust from this moment, but not by pretending what Snow and Charming did was right and good and perfect and the only choice to be made. None of that is helpful.
K&H said that Snow only started to realise just how much harm she had caused Emma/her daughter when Emma asked her what was worse- being cursed but together? or being cursed to live your entire life feeling abandoned, unloved & alone?
That really affected Snow they said, just how deeply hurt Emma was. It was never meant to be that way- but Emma ended paying a price they never imagined she’d have to pay.
Which is why Snow didn’t hesitate when she jumped in after her leaving her James behind- she couldn’t put Emma through that again.
I do think when Emma gets over the shock of it (her life is almost the entire opposite it was less than a day ago lol), she’ll start to heal & move forward 🙂
