According to Snow, she and David did unspeakable things that caused Mal to lose her child. What were those things? What *exactly* did Snow and David do that was so horrible?

If it’s just that they didn’t prevent the Curse because they weren’t prepared to go dark, then shouldn’t they have been blaming themselves for EVERYONE’S Curse induced suffering since the moment they got their memories back?
March 9, 2015 at 9:28 am #297956FelieParticipantWhat if they took Emma’s potential for darkness and stuck it into Mal’s baby. It could have attracted the sorcerer’s attention and he/she could have banished the baby to our world where it wouldn’t be a danger to anyone.

I think this is probably exactly what happened. Snowing didn’t DO anything to Mal to cause her to lose her child, it’s what Snowing DIDN’T do ie stopping the curse that caused Mal to lose her child.
Throughout the series Snowing, and in particular Snow, have always been selfish when it comes to saving people. So long as they’re alright and the people they care about are alright, they don’t give a crap about anyone else. Snow is the one more prone to this kind of behaviour. Snow didn’t want to help Maleficent save her child because Snow didn’t want to risk HER child going dark despite having the chance to save everyone. Snow wanted another baby because the relationship she had with Emma isn’t what SHE wanted. Snow couldn’t keep her mouth shut about Neal being in Neverland until Hook and Charming had verified the truth in Pan’s claim because SHE didn’t want to keep it secret from Emma. Snow wanted Charming to drop everything because SHE wanted him to meet the midwife. Snow asks Regina to go undercover and thus jeopardising Regina’s redemption because SHE wants to keep her secret from Emma.
Snow is one of the most selfish characters on the show but disguises that selfishness as nobleness and goodness.

I guess that is why this season is about questioning what makes a hero and what makes a villain. I’d say the villains and the heroes are just as selfish as each other when it comes to protecting their loved ones. I’d have to say though that in defense of Snow, the reason she might come off as selfish when it comes to her family is because of her tumultuous years as a bandit after Cora and Regina had killed her parents. She was an orphan, she was falsely accused of murder, and she was running for her life. There was a serious question in her mind whether she and Charming would ever be together, and later, whether she’d even be able to protect their unborn child. So I can at least understand where some of Snow’s selfishness comes from — it comes from the same place as all the parents on the show (i.e. an overwhelming desire to protect their families and loved ones). Regina and Rumple were and are the same when it came to their children (Henry and Bae respectively). Where Snow allowed herself to be misguided was in refusing to help Mal because she was a “villain” — despite the fact that Snow and Mal had the same goal (i.e. STOP THE DARK CURSE to protect their children). Now the irony of all ironies would be if the rumors are true that Mal was actually carrying the biological child of Snow and Charming created from the TL potion, which Rumple had Charming implant in Mal for safe-keeping. If that child turns out to be Lily (as spoilers all seem to indicate) then Snowing will have screwed over two of their children (i.e. Lily and Emma) in an desperate, yet misguided belief that “good always wins.”

I’d say that’s very accurate.
