This's a good beginning of the series; but it hit me: it logically stands to reason that since Lizzy is now Raven's mother, and she lets slip through the course of the tale that she's got some degree of personal experience with the orientation that Raven's dealing with... it naturally stands that she'd share "trade secrets" with this daughter of hers, in a "been there, done that; here's what worked for me... maybe it will work for you." kind of gamble.

It also naturally confuses me why Raven wanted to hate her new mom; Liz wasn't cheating, she's no proven adulteress- she married a widower, and inherited said fellow's daughter as her own; she really does read as a solid heroine in that part of the story- through any morally sound lens.

And it is also pretty clear that Liz doesn't have an enviable burden to bear coming up periodically in her life, but that's what she'd likely say would make her strong: as weight-lifting is worthless if you don't have sufficient burden to lift.
