Something about you is soft like an angel
And something inside you is violence and danger
I knew from the moment we met, you are a dangerous thing
When you are with me, I feel like I'm living
And living besides you can be unforgiving
I knew from the very first step, you are a dangerous thing
(...)
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
I hope you'll call
I keep on losing feathers
I keep forgetting
There's no love in the end
A Dangerous Thing by AURORA is such a Abigail coded song and you cannot convince me otherwise. (ALL HER FATHERS SUCK!!)
(I'm still struggling to make a murder family fanvid to that song)

WAIT- I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
There were a series of experiments performed 1958 (because Psychological studies used to be FUN back in the day before MORALS and NOT FUCKING YOUR TEST SUBJECTS UP became important to people) by Harry Harlow. The experiments are commonly known as the Wire Mother vs Cloth Mother.
In experiment #1:
They would separate infant Rhesus monkeys at birth from their mothers.
And place them in a cage with two surrogate mothers.
A wire mother who provided nourishment.
And a cloth mother who provided physical contact.
The monkey would spend the majority of the time with the Cloth Mother even if they didn't provide anything meaningful beyond contact. They would be braver with the Cloth Mother present, they would explore more. When confronted with a frightening object they would take refuge with the Cloth Mother.
I love the Murder Family concept as much as the next deranged autistic weirdo on this website but let's be honest. Will was never going to make a good Father. As much as he wanted a connection he couldn't bring himself to form one with the kid served up on a silver platter to him.
Will was the Wire Mother. He would have provided for Abigail, taught her appropriately but never be there for her emotionally like she would have needed.
Hannibal was the Cloth Mother. He didn't really care about Abigail. She was a means to an end. He provided comfort but nothing else, not at least what we would consider as appropriate nourishment.

Do you remember Freddie Lounds' articles from the show that came out during the Red Dragon case?
If no, then here they are, because I would like to talk about them for a moment:
In the series, Will seems furious that he “had to justify himself to an eleven-year-old”, but in the book, Will was not happy about it either, as he would rather talk to his stepson (in the series: Wally, in the book: Willy) on his own terms about his past, which means killing a man (G.J. Hobbs) and being in a mental institution, but Lounds made this impossible for him.
However reading these articles, I think the questions Wally asked Will aren't the worst.
Here is the orginal script, which is also very much the same in the book:
Given that Freddie Lounds had been involved with Will's “case” from the very beginning, knew that Will and Hannibal were Abigail's surrogate fathers, that Will had followed Hannibal to Europe, and even called them “murder husbands”, Freddie could remind all of that in these articles if she wanted to, but she didn't.
If she did, the questions Wally asked Will were always could be worse, like “Dad, why is the press calling you Hannibal the Cannibal's murder husbands? And what does it mean that you had a child together????”.
Be grateful for that, Will.
