Research shows that couples who lose a child have a divorce rate of over 80 percent. Research doesn't say anything about the divorce rate for couples who lose a child because one half of that couple had to murder said child in order to save humankind from fire and brimstone and demons, including and not limited to the ladies from The View.
In any case, Dad and Daddy aren't married, so they can't get divorced, so at least Lorelai doesn't have to worry about becoming a statistic. It's bad enough she's a twinless twin.
Research also shows that twinless twins are five times more likely to become alcoholic, lose their jobs, attempt suicide, and experience being haunted by the restless souls of their former twins. At least according to the support group anyway. You can visit their website at www.twinlesstwinssupportgroup.org
So far Lorelai has dipped her toes into all of those things, sort of. She's not an alcoholic yet, but only because she's so busy not having a job anymore. She didn't lose her job as a hunter; she quit, because there's no point anyway, and she hasn't found time to commit suicide in between eating her weight in Tollhouse cookie dough (her grief speaks through her stomach) and calling her dads every hour to make sure they are still together. They don't necessarily have to be speaking to each other, as long as they're still together.
As for the haunting, well, it's a lie. It's a big fat lie perpetrated by twinless twins in positions of power, who prey on other twinless twins that are innocent and unsuspecting and sleep all day so they can stay awake all night and wait for their twin to come back and tell them that they're okay, they're back, they'll never leave again.
All lies, people, lies, and Lorelai so regrets making an account on the forum and sharing an edited-to-PG version of her story with the others, and when they reply telling her that they understand and that it's okay to grieve and feel better soon, she feels like reaching into her laptop and blasting them all in the face with rock salt because, god, they end their posts with "take care" and then a colon and a closing parenthesis, and Alex wouldn't have stood for that shit. She wouldn't have.
But she's dead, dead dead dead, and Dad and Daddy are probably getting separated, and Lorelai is all alone, a twinless twin, a child of divorce, with nobody to turn to except for people who tell her to take care, smiley face.
