During the season premiere, while fighting back tears, the youngster recounted how "almost everything" had changed over the past year. She admitted Ethan's decision to cut himself off from their parents was really hard on everybody. Lydia now writes all of her prayers down and hangs them up in her "prayer closet," where the cameras captured the reality star asking for guidance about Ethan and Olivia. She revealed how difficult it is not having her big brother around, with Lydia missing the positivity he'd bring upon returning home from work each day. "I love him so much, I pray from him all the time, and he's always in my everyday thoughts," she shared tearfully.

The cameras left Lydia as she crouched on the floor, praying for God to bring her family back together. Social media rallied around to share their support for Lydia, and to condemn her parents for their treatment of her, with one user tweeting, "you are DESTROYING Lidia [sic]. That poor girl. She is being ripped apart," while another argued, "mother and father ought to be ashamed for what they are putting Lydia through." It's worth noting that, earlier this year, Moriah responded to a fan encouraging her to "save" her sister by explaining, "It's hard to help someone who doesn't want help and hard to save someone who doesn't see the potential damage."
