I'd say Lily would argue against it, saying that being abandoned like that, to watch with envy as all other kids were picked up by their parents while knowing that she herself would never experience that, was worse than parents who pushed you to the edge and beyond. At least they had parents, she'd argue. Which makes me think... I wonder how Ikari would react if Lily started calling her "Mom" xD Might make Ikari a sort of mother-figure for her, or rather, have Lily see her like that.

Yeah, there is huge psychological abuse happening there, but thats also present in Alice as well, plus Lily's parents never brought about a situation were one of her limbs had to be replaced with cybernetics, which Alice's did. Overall though, I'd say you both had pretty shit parents. Sindri's were nice, honest people, but they died way too early for him to not feel some psyche trauma over it, especially his Mum who basically gave up on fighting the cancer after the death of her husband and left him alone in the world, he's pretty insecure about that.

Personally I don't know whether to consider Lily calling Ikari "Mom" would be cute or just kinda disturbing, depends how you show it.
