She likes that Caleb’s forming genuine relationships, but she conditioned him in a way that doesn’t help him form genuine relationships? That’s contradictory. She should know that.
I think Lilith is very realistic. She is to me, reflective of the authoritative parenting style she received - all that forced respect and control, which she now inflicts on Caleb. Given how she said in her featured pov chapter that she was going to “change the whole patriachal structure” but instead is actually living it, I'm inclined to think that she might not realise that she adopted her own parents’ harsh parenting and mindset. :joy: So I'm uncertain that even though it's clearly intentional on her side, I wonder if she is aware of the values she portrays and the underlying messages conveyed in her actions. Wouldn't she be disgusted with herself at how similar she is with her own father? (Excluding his predatory ways.)
Given we know she asked Seth to erase something of her memories and that Seth doesn’t actually have a good gauge on how much to erase with what he said of Faith, did Lilith erase the memories she wanted? Or was there an ‘over-erase’? Or did Seth erase something else for his convenience? He’s honest in his words, but he did erase Faith’s memories without her consent. I’m really excited to know whether what happened between he and Lilith will affect all my ponderings here. :D
