I just shared my life situation in the other newest comment, and I was in a very similar boat as Gabby. I almost moved 800 miles away to be with my ex and cut off contact with my parents. I decided to cut contact from him instead. This was right before Gabby went missing. The case was unfolding at the same time my ex was sending pizzas from a large corporate chain to my house. My address had to be permanently blacklisted from that chain and I filed two police reports against my ex. Another attempted contact with me would've made him liable for an injunction of harassment. In my state, that meant he could've faced jail time or other penalties. I thought about pursuing a civil case because I'm in a different state for pain, suffering, mental distress, etc. I literally thought that dude was knocking on my door in the middle of the night when a delivery driver rang my door bell and called my phone. I felt genuine terror. My last words to my ex was "I fear that I'll be the next Travis Alexander". (He's Jodi Arias' victim who is unfortunately far less known, but he's known and remembered in Arizona where I live). Based on that specific comment I made to my ex, I thought he'd driven hundreds of miles away to... confront me just like Jodi confronted Travis. There were very limited services for male victims of DV prior to Travis Alexander's high profile case. There were also NO available shelter services for single adults who were not cohabitating with their partner and didn't have children. (Travis Alexander is remembered for his strong faith. Cohabitation and childbearing before marriage was forbidden for him, so he didn't have the same available resources other people have. I was also in an unhealthy interfaith relationship with someone outside of Arizona so I was in a similar bind. I am the next Travis Alexander and I'm alive. Stalking is also thankfully taken more seriously in Arizona because of what happened to Travis Alexander). I share this to demonstrate that 16 years later, Travis Alexander's legacy still carries on. But I was in a very similar situation to Travis Alexander, I miraculously survived and then Gabby Petito's story blew up in the airwaves. It was a weird reminder of what I'd endured and a reminder that my parents didn't have to travel to either rescue me from a horrible relationship or identify my remains.

Plus a million other things we never learned about or seen.

This kind of narcissism happens, when a mother makes her child a surrogate partner - an incestuous relationship. Where the emotional needs of a mother, takes president over the child's needs. On the outside, it looks like a very close and loving relationship, but it is a toxic/abusive relationship. When a mother makes her child responsible for her emotional needs, tells the child all of her problems, doesn't teach the child boundaries, and doesn't allow the child to individuate/separate from the parent. This breeds narcissisme. The child sees the mother as a god, and if the mother is a god, then the child is a god, if there's no boundaries between them and if the mothers emotions are fused with the child's emotions. When the child grows up, the rage from that emotionel responsibility and incestuous relationship gets projected onto an intimate partner (unconsciously). Alle the rage, anger and frustration that Brian felt towards his mother, but could never express, is transferred onto Gabby, because she is perceived as his new mother. SICK!

(The wording at the end “you will always love me”, is grossly childish and demanding, and it’s inappropriate and lacks boundaries) You are my boy. Nothing can make me stop loving you. Nothing will or could ever divide us: no matter what we do, or where we go or what we say -- we will always Love each other. (Children age 0-15 years needs unconditional love, late teenagers and adults needs to be held accountable for their actions, and not be cuddled and told that they can’t do no wrong. That’s because their brains are somewhat developed and understand that actions equal accountability and responsibility. The wording is also something that is between spouses/lovers, not parent/ child. If you're in jail, I will bake a cake with a file in it. If you need to dispose of a body, I will bring show up with a shovel and garbage bags. (This is just disturbing! A mother’s unconditional love even if her son commits a crime - that’s toxic enabling and codependency behavior) If you fly to the moon, I will be watching the skies for your re-entry. If you say you hate my guts, I'll get new guts. Remember that love is a verb, not a noun. It's not a thing, it's not words, it is actions. Watch people's actions to know if they love you -- not their words. "Therefore I am certain that neither death nor Life, nor angels nor the ruling spirits, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers from above, nor powers from below, nothing in the entire created world can separate our love. Neither hostile powers nor messengers of heaven nor monarchs of earth. Nothing has the power to separate us... " (This is an inappropriate letter, which wording is fueled with words of sexualized innuendoes disguised as extreme closeness/love - it’s boundary crossing, because it’s the mother’s emotional wishes and needs being told to her grown son. Romans 8:38 (extended version!) (Nothing can separate us: "not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not threats, not even sin, not the thinkable or unthinkable can get between us.) ~Not time. Not miles and miles and miles.~ (Again wordings fuels with inappropriate emotional needs of the mother and only things that you should write to your intimate spouse - it’s the mothers needs for the ultimate control and demands to be loved by her son, but it should be the other way around. The son is his mothers surrogate husband) Emotional incest is so incredibly damaging and hard to spot, because it’s often seen as love. But it is actually meeting the emotional needs of the mother, not the child. Often does kind of mothers can’t tell the difference between a spousal relationship and a child relationship- it’s the same for them. Often these mothers grew up with the same confusion about sexual and emotional boundaries. Imagine you getting a letter like that from your mom - it makes my skin crawl!

It's one thing to be in denial about your son's mental health but then to be complicit in a crime...If Brian had suicidal ideations, it's too bad he didn't act on them before he killed this beautiful young woman. Also, the video of them with the police is still infuriating. Those officers couldn't spot abuse to save their lives. Gabby was hysterical and clearly in danger. Bryan was laughing and shooting the breeze with the officers, which was disgusting.

This wasn't a mental health crisis. It was a personality disorder that was never going to change. His parents probably thought Gabby could save what they had long since destroyed, and so did Gabby. Never "unconditionally" love anyone at your own expense.

Gabby was beautiful.

Gabby family is so incredible. I hate that they suffered this unexplainable loss. But, the way they are using it to talk about massive issues is so amazing. ❤

Man it must be hard to be that brother. Everyone in the world wants justice for gabby but he knows it the most.

Thank you for sharing the mental health importance!

Wow- Nichole’s statement to Brian- just chills. Prayers to Gabby’s family ❤

Sometimes I think how helpful it would be to have a good connection with family that you can speak up openly and they can support you and protect you from predators. Because this family I am sure also trusted his family with their daughter and they failed them beyond measure. Sending strength and love to all victims.

The Laundries should be in prison! Horrible parents, and even worse human beings.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, let your perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace. Amen. VIVA CHRISTO REY!!! ✝️⚓❤️🙏

Great reporting. God bless them all.

Wow😮 You know, the public could sue his family over distress. This is just remarkable how the parents did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. EVER.

Its crazy that these cases still feel like it just happened yesterday.....im sorry Schmidt and Petito family for Gabby's precious lost life at the hands of Brian Laundrie

Actually like many men in America, what old Brian had wasn’t a mental health crisis………it was the old situation of the girl I was able to manipulate for a while is and was way outa my league, especially in the looks department and she’s now realized it and trying to roll out. He basically did the old, “if I can’t have her nobody will” move. It’s that simple. Nothing more nothing less. Just watch a few of the videos with them and you can see him trying to always see and hear what she’s saying and filming…..because he was DV guy already

Okay, I have to make a counterpoint to your comment. There are also many men that would do nothing but protect and defend the woman they are with. If you are experiencing the type of situation you describe then you are with the wrong person. You know the old idea that women like the "bad boy" and that nice guys finish last? Well, there you go. Also, a lot of women believe they can change their "bad boy" partner. It's part of that nurturing psyche.

Everyone wants to ignore the fact Gabby had a chance to get away. He left her alone for a week and went back to Florida. Why not take the correct lesson from this? Even the police failed Gabby. She, like so many young, good-hearted, innocent women, needed to save herself. Nobody was going to do that for her. She had ample opportunity. All she had to do was talk to a few real friends, then run. He would have never found her. That's the tragedy, to me.

What an amazing family! Love that they have created a foundation to do great work in memory of Gabby. Brian’s journal entries prior to the road trip are shocking. I think there’s several things to think about. One mental health is important and getting people the help they need and possibly medicine and keeping them on it is important. Two you can never change your partner into what you want them to be. I think this happens whether your young or older people try to all the time. Third if your in a relationship we’re there’s any type of violence either physical or emotional leave immediately. Don’t be ashamed to leave and don’t think you can fixture the other person. RIP Gabby

Thank you. 💯

Maybe I am being too harsh, judgemental, and cold-hearted, but I don't feel sorry for that monster or his parents. If you're having a mental health crisis, you don't* murder people; you go to a mental hospital. If your kid is a murderer, you don't* help your kid cover up the crime & escape justice; you hold your kid accountable. *shouldn't

Makes me wonder what mental games his mom and dad did to him as he grew up. Obviously his mom has some disturbing character traits herself. The L family is creepy in my opinion.

This is a sad story for gabbi and her family, I hope the foundation grows to help others in these situations. Great work family. Keep it going.

Truly gone too soon. God Bless all of you . She was ❤️

Awesome people. Keep up the good work xxx

This is so sad that the family has to hear this after losing their beautiful daughter. There was help available, if only the Laundrie family had recognized his illness and done something, all of this may have been avoided.

There is no way his family didn't know about this behavior, i wonder if he would have committed more crimes had he lived.

To think if this murderers lighter didn’t get wet, Gabby would be with us 🙏🏼🌻 I’m sorry but her murderer does not deserve any mentioning. There are many people who struggle with mental illness and do not kill. He probably faked his writings. Prayers to Gabby and her beloved family ❤️

I'm conflicted on the statement "does not deserve any mentioning." When I was in Junior High, I was in a very dark place in my life. However dark my mental state was, I could NEVER think about taking the life of someone else, my own, I came close, but no one else. However, I believe all (or almost all) parents see their child as a person who could never hurt anyone, atleast to the extreme as Brian did. However, if we let people know that people, even YOUR offspring, could be in a dark (and... what word would suffice? beyond messed up) enough mental state, maybe they (the parents and close friends) could try to get help sooner. As I said before, I have never been in a mental state to take someone else's life, and I'm sure many if not all (or any) reading this would agree. But even if it can't help the mentally ill, maybe the innocent can be saved.

I don’t believe a word of those journal writings. I think he was disturbed, I don’t think he was “wrestling alligators” I’m in FL… they swim away from you and if one does get you… good luck very few people make it without at least losing a limb. His little scrawny ass couldn’t do shit against an alligator. I think he has thoughts of grandeur and probably wanted that to be found to get attention. But he was a small man in every way and could only over power a sweet 90 pound little girl to feel strong big and tough on his freakin free vacation in HER van. He couldn’t even handle the thought of prison or owning up to what he did but we are supposed to believe he was going to light himself on fire. Get TF out of here.

So heartbreaking in every way. So many lives could be saved from suicide or homicide if people would seek help for their mental health issues.

The cops usually side with the male. Because they act so calm & with it, while the female is in tears which make her look not in control of her emotions, therefore cops feel overreacting to the situation. Its so covert!

Her story has shaken me to my core. I really enjoyed watching her adventures. I thought she was such a beautiful, and calming spirit. I prayed so hard for her to return safe. I won’t ever forget Gabby. I pray for everyone’s peace.

This still seems so fresh and raw.

I believe the family knew. Family always knows and try to keep it hidden.

Where would they be if the police had separated them that night.
