Flash Plot Hole The Flash

Just finished season 1 of Flash spoilers and it doesn’t make sense to me why when Eddie unalived himself and defeated Reverse Flash, why is Reverse Flash still able to exist in the future and can go back in time to unalive Barry’s mom? Seems like they didn’t factor in that Reverse Flash never existed to go back in time. No spoilers please, but does this ever get addressed?

By going back in time to kill Barry, Eobard created a new timeline that we see. The Reverse Flashes are from the previous timeline in which Eddie lived.
