OKAY SHARING MY THOUGHTS.
Wittechild was a little distant from their mother at first because she was in a grief mood, so she was constantly telling wittechild about how Caleb was and how she missed him, also she tell them about the similarities they have with Caleb, the intelligence and mannerisms. Wittewife is scared of wittechild sometimes because she gets flashbacks about Philip and The Scene, she even calls them Philip by mistake.
Also, what she tells about Philip… he portrays him as a bad person who shouldn’t be forgiven, and tells wittechild they look a lot like him.
She is proud of wittechild, though.
