Seems like a legit question. Seriously. What happened? These are reruns, right? Somebody should know. Knowing the way this lady writes (men can never do anything good,) he probably left her for some skank.
Talking about a parent who is no longer a part of the family is really difficult. My first husband was never there for my son. Over the years this has all been resolved, but when Aaron was young, it was important to talk openly and honestly about what had happened without prejudice and without assigning blame. I used to wonder when I’d feel like a grown up. Handling this issue made me grow up fast.
Connie is a radiologist. She went to Equador right after college to work in a clinic. She met a Brazilian doctor, Dr Pablo da Silva and they fell in love. They decided not to marry because they were from such different worlds, and when she got home to Canada, she discovered she was pregnant. The story of how Lawrence met his father at age 23 was printed on October 20-30, 1999 in the daily strips.
Just because you’re using words other than “sex” to say “sex” does not change the nastiness of what you’re saying. Just because you don’t marry doesn’t mean you don’t care about the rights of the child. You have issues.
Wow, that is so true, now days! Someone tell that to my ex-daughter-in-law. It’s such a revolving door at her house, that the boys refuse to even meet the latest conquest anymore. And when she is “entertaining”….don’t even THINK to interrupt her in any way, shape or form!
I don’t understand why Elly will Lizzy about this though…it was never explained to me. Yeah its a great backtrack for later in the story when Michael finds out and confronts Liz as a background, but other than that…what’s the point of this particular moment? She could have just said, “Its not my place to tell,” and its honestly not. But I digress, this series was out before I was even more, there’s no use in crying over spilled milk
I so agree with you, It always amazes me when someone gets on their high horse and demands that we all agree with their version of whatever and will not listen to anyone else.Living with that man must be sooo much fun…not
Charlie, you and I are both the results of fornication.(My parents tried laying eggs and shedding spores, but neither worked, so back to fornication they went.)FYI: copulation was invented long before marriage. And guilt. And even self-righteousness.
women no longer place their children’s right to be raised by their own fathers before their carnal desire to practice fornication.-——————————————-“Carnal desire to practice fornication”? Visiting us for the 19th century, Charlie?-Seriously, you sound as if women invented sex, and are the only ones to know it can be (gasp!) fun.I know of a lot of guys who’ve practiced hit-and-run sex, emphasis on the ‘run.’
Oh OK. I was responding to a comment, which read that Lawrence had a deadbeat dad and with the similarities to US President Obama’s childhood. Now I cannot find that comment, maybe it vanished. I am no expert on Canadian affairs, but I do know “the president of Canada” does not exist! :)
She practiced fornication with Lawrence’s father and then never married him, leaving Lawrence with no father.-——————————————-Of course Lawrence has a father.He wasn’t the result of cloning or virgin birth.Lawrence’s father just isn’t there. It would have been no different if the father and Connie had divorced when Lawrence was a baby.-For that matter, why are you all over Connie?Are you suggesting the father was just some innocent bystander?News flash, Charlie, the father could have visited Lawrence, or made some effort to contact him.Connie didn’t knock the guy down, take advantage of him, and dash off to Canada to secretly have a child.Yeesh.
No matter how Connie & Pablo’s actions resulted in Lawrence being born out of wedlock, I’m sure Lawrence prefers that to not having been born at all. The way I understand it, Connie told Pablo she was pregnant, he told her to return to Canada, he would join her later and they would marry. He never came, and just stopped answering her letters.

So what happened? I don’t remember the old strip. Did he run away to S. American? And why? A woman? Drugs? Does anyone know?

She married the guy so she’s not practicing fornication.

I have been “practicing fornication” for way more than 50 years, and plan to continue practicing, until I get it right !
