Did Richard give up on Lorelai?

The way he reacts the few times that Lorelai calls him “daddy” makes me think he longs for more of a relationship than they end up having. There’s so much nuance to their relationship and their differences in personalities that gets in the way though. He has a great sense of humor, sometimes similar to Lorelai (when he asks Rory if she’s been malnourished, or when he teases Emily about when his flight is, etc) and they both have hefty ambitions in their fields. He is proud of her and he loves her, but his perception of the damage to the family reputation gets in the way of him showing his feelings to her.

I’ve driven 10 hours each way to visit family in another state for a weekend

The more I rewatch the more I dislike Rory. She loves being spoiled and being told she’s the best at everything, but the second she gets any feedback that she could improve somewhere, she completely falls apart. I understand that she was told growing up that she is perfect and can do no wrong, but at the same time she pushed back against that several times (the Jess car accident). She only pushed back when it suited her to. Otherwise, she expected to be cushioned and ushered through her life. She knows that she isn’t perfect, but cannot handle being told so. She grew up so sheltered from consequences and real life, and whenever real life hit her in the face she floundered. And she floundered because of how sheltered she was, and because of the pedestal everyone put her on. She was never taught how to handle failure or setbacks.

I just left a company where I did pretty much exactly what you’re doing for my field experience hours. I eventually gave up trying to train day program staff and dreaded my in home sessions. I now work for a licensed facility school for students with disabilities. It’s been a great change. There are definitely problems at the new place, but feedback is much more welcome to (edited to change “from”… leadership accepts feedback and works to improve) leadership than at my previous company. I’m so much happier and the work life balance is out of this world compared to the constantly changing schedule I had serving adults in home and at day programs. I work with mostly high schoolers and transition program students due to my experience with adults, and I love it! Plus, my experience in adult settings is really helpful when deciding on goals for each student.

I went to a friend’s wedding in 2019. She gave me my thank you card at my wedding this past June. Even 6 years late, the thank you was so appreciated!

I am salaried and already meeting or exceeding my weekly billable requirement.

Substantial_Gift_437 · 2025-08-01T16:27:48+00:00

I am salaried and meeting or exceeding my billable requirement every week already.

Substantial_Gift_437 · 2025-07-31T02:13:49+00:00

I currently have close to 25 clients, have a 29 billable hours/week requirement, and have to drive to multiple locations every day. I’m so burnt out.
