Regarding Season 3 it may seem hard to follow, but it boils down to this:
It’s something that the Commision would normally fixed, but they have been trashed too. I like this approach from a story telling standpoint, better than the splitting off timelines such as Marvel‘s stories who except they want their cake and eat it too.
When they went back in time to Dallas, Vanya interacted with a woman whom she became romantically involved with, and her child had a power, who she helped, or thought she did, but the child grows up, accidentally kills the mothers of the Umbrella Academy member before they are born or even conceived in the unexplained “conception” event.
This causes the Grandfather Paradox, ie kill your Grandfather and you are no longer were born, but yet you exist. (In Back to the Future you existence is totally erased, but not here, just calamity. ). So when the Umbrella Academy members return to their present, not only were they never born, yes they exist, but the world has changed and apparantly this paradox is making it slowly come appart.
