| Quote: | Blaab, again you are saying that you "don't care what the 17 year old Lorelai said or did on that matter", but isn't that one of the most important points? At least for me it is. Lorelai always only did the things she wanted to do. | I think a point we are underestimating here is pride. All Gilmores are very pride. They don´t ask for help if it would signalize weakness. And they would never just admit that they got really hurt. That changed during the seasons but back than it was eminent.
I partly agree with blaab that a 16 year old pregnant Lorelai should not be that critically judged on what she was actually saying. Words can hurt - all Gilmores so far have proven that. But I agree that parents should be the bigger ones in that relationship. But they as well decided to shut Lorelai out of their lives as Lorelai did the other way around.
Another reason for Lorelai to run away was probably that she thought that right than was the best opportunity to take life into her own hands because it might be apparent to her that the Gilmores wolud pull the same education on Rory. There´s no doubt in my mind that´ll all love eachother but with Lorelai and Emily two worlds collided. The Gilmores will never get over the fact that Lorelai chosed the other way - in their opion the best way of living.

Ckomodo, just remember the fact the Emily left Richard because she was afraid she would lose Lorelai again, if that doesn’t show her love for her daughter I don’t know what would.
It just proves that Emily and Lorelai have a lot in common. Both putting their daughters above their partners. |
To be correct: The problems between ER build up way before. They both didn´t talk and moved further apart. So Emily couldn´t understand why Richard did that to Lorelai. But Emily didn´t left Richard because of Lorelai - she left because she finally understood that they drifted apart too far. She couldn´t understand his motivations anymore. |
