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.

Both did indeed have shit childhoods, so let's stick with that :P

As for the whole mom thing... I'm not sure if she'd outright say it, but she might view her as a motherfigure simply because of how much they are alike (the nine tails and that), and because she has never really had anyone she could call a parent save perhaps Max.
