Wesley also managed to find self love, which Angel took away.
He learned from this new father figure and began to trust in himself. Then disaster, but after some some angst he finds himself now able to believe in himself. Lilah does give confirmation in a very real way. He rescues Angel but no longer needs affirmation from the fang gang. He even prepares what Angel will need next, without needing to listen to Angel's rationalizations for forgiving him.
So when his new father figure became abusive, Wesley stayed moral and detached. He reinvents himself over those seasons. And Angel takes away the memories.
