Which means she realizes that her decision to help her son ultimately put him in darkness. Belle did nothing wrong with letting Blue take him for a brief period of time. It's not like she sent him away while some villain told Belle that she was coming after her child. She let the fear she got from her "dream son" into thinking letting him be sent away is good for him, which is proving to be the opposite. But she didn't know that. It was the best given what she knew. The fear was from Rumple's aggressive actions than anything else. The results of her choice led to exactly what she was hoping to prevent, and she obviously realizes that. At the time it may have seen like the right choice. Now we know the answer. Of course she can be defended by saying she did what she thought was right at the time. But when consquences or results of people's choices prove disasterous, they have to own it.
