Rory and Jess - Talking

[thefirst3chapters]

It seems to me that Liz and Jess is the mirror image of what could have gone wrong if Lorelai had handled her pregnancy the way her parents wanted her to. Liz graduates high school before she gives birth, she married the father, Jess has the father's name, she gets her own place....none of it does any good, because Jimmy ditches them before they even come from home from the hospital. Liz tries again, and again, and again, probably telling herself on some level that she's looking for Jess to have a father (even though we know that Jess is far down on her list of priorities) and it's a disaster. Liz can't keep a job, is addicted to drugs and alcohol, Jess grows up in poverty, surrounded by chaos, instability, and his mother's often dangerous partners, is badly neglected and likely abused. He wears those scars into early adulthood and even though he heals, cleans himself up, and eventually becomes happy and successful, it's very much despite of Liz, not because of her.

Lorelai's fate would likely never have been Liz's, because she and Christopher both come from money and the worst case scenario would have been that Rory was raised by her parents. However, given that Lorelai chose to run away from home and literally live in a garden shed, there's any number of horrible things that could have happened before her parents were called in and those memories are likely never far from Lorelai's mind when dealing with Liz. It's very much a "there but for the grace of God goes I" mentality and Lorelai still holds Jess to blame for his own teenage behavior in the latter years of the series and never meets grown up Jess until after the OS ends. AYITL era Lorelai seems to accept Luke as her annoying nephew (and since he is Luke's confidante, knows all of her dirty little secrets by now anyway).

One could say that Lorelai would have never have done any of the things that Liz did but Lorelai chose to remain independent, to stay grounded in a stable environment, to move up in her job instead of quitting or moving, to focus on her kid instead of looking for the next man who could save her. In those early years, it wouldn't have taken much for her to develop into a different kind of person.
