I would like to know why Connie's other children (I forget how many but she has a son) are estranged from her.

I think this would be a great way for Jim Parsons to be in an episode playing one of Connie's children or his son. Jim's appearance can be somewhat changed and have him play against type. Maybe.

I would like to know why Connie's other children are estranged from her. Connie seemed like a good person and she has stated that she had to work to support her family. So what happened?

Oooooooo ... you're right!!!!

We don't see anyone from Mr. Cooper's side of the family either. Was he and only child and are his parents still alive?

God bless you always!!!
