While abandoned by both Malcolm and Black Fairy have negative effects on Rumplestiltskin,  who do you guys think affected Rumplestiltskin more? Malcolm or Black Fairy? I personally think Malcolm because Black Fairy abandoned Rumplestiltskin when he was just a baby. He didn't form any emotional bond with her yet. Rumplestiltskin as a baby probably didn't even know that his mother left him until maybe later when Malcolm let slip. And from what I seen, up to the part when Malcolm let the Shadow took Rumplestiltskin back to the Enchanted Forest, Malcolm did care some for Rumplestiltskin. He calmed the poor boy when he was scared to stay with the spinsters by giving him Peter Pan. Again he calmed the poor boy when he was crying thought something happen to his father. Such attachment makes it more hurt when abandoned.
