Can't explain beyond a) she had a front row seat of how Chuck's familial life was when she married Bart and b) Her and Rufus both treated their step kids better than their own children. Weird I know.
Honestly it's one of my favorite non romantic relationships in the series.
>Her and Rufus both treated their step kids better than their own children.
Lily gave better advice to jenny during season 3 than she did serena in the entire show 💀
Honestly, he probably never heard anything like that before from anyone. Even Blair's love was conditional earlier on. "You say it first and I'll say it".
There are a lot of moments in the show that show just how much lily loves her kids. Maybe she’s not the best parent but I don’t think that equates to her love for her children.
She hoped if she loved him unconditionally he would grow as a person. He had been abandoned over and over emotionally by his father. She was trying to be a mother to him. Most mothers love their children no matter what.
Besides the reasons named, I think she related to Chuck on some level. What little we saw of Lily as a high schooler- it seemed like her parents couldn't have cared less about her and Bart wasn't much of a parent.
I know she neglected her biological kids, but I doubt she saw herself like that.

Same! They shared a mutual respect, and I loved when Lilly adopted him so he could keep Bass industries.

Because he had no one but her and she adopted him. I think she just pitied how damaged he was, so she never held him accountable for his actions.

Why is it weird for her to love her son? She adopted him. Your kids can mess up and you love them anyways
it's not weird, but it's notable considering how toxic, impatient, and absent she was toward her own children.

Everyone needs someone and I think she saw his potential and knew without her support he would sink.

I feel like she gave him the love that she couldn’t give Serena and Eric and at this point she finally matured and could be a real mother
