I need explanation guys! If older/future barry traveled back in time, he would have known that in this timeline, his mother was killed..

So why is older barry didnt stuck around in this timeline too? If he went back to his original timeline, wouldnt everything changed (I mean, this show treated time traveling NOT as an alternate reality like the Star Trek movies)?

or is the future/older Barry just simply disappeared from existance since everything is now changed? while Eobard Thawne still exists because he's from way way in the future and him being born and his process of getting his speedster power still remains the same? (and thats also why he kidnapped Eddie, so he doesnt marry Iris..)

this time travel thing is confusing, hope everything becomes clear.
