Hey, Brian Laundrie, you’re right. Gabby gets a little high strung and hard to handle. So you have to lock her out of the van and tell her to take a walk and cool down.

Hey, Brian Laundrie, you’re right.
Gabby gets a little high strung and hard to handle. So you have to lock her out of the van and tell her to take a walk and cool down. You have to lock her stuff in the van so she can’t get it - her wallet, her electronics, etc. Then you’re about to drive off and leave her in nowhere Utah, (no offense Moab) and all her stuff is in the locked van, remember? So she has to crawl through the window and over you to not be left penniless, without communication, in the desert. I mean that’s reasonable.
Very reasonable for any man who has spent time manipulating a woman to think she’s legitimately mentally off balance and hard to deal with. Has her persuaded she’s the problem. If she would just learn to manage herself better, he wouldn’t have to. I’m sure Gabby was grateful to have such an affirming, caring man to be there for her, to be her mental health guardian. I’m sure Gabby probably needed his help managing lots of other aspects of her life too. Perhaps her money, perhaps where she can go, who she can be with, maybe her sex life.
More than likely, because this is how it works, her life needed to revolve around his. If not, it assuredly couldn’t revolve around anyone else’s, certainly not her own.
I know, I’m speculating a lot. After all Brian isn’t making himself available for comment. And Gabby has been silenced. So we just don’t know.
What we do know is this sort of power and control over someone else’s life isn’t unique to Brian and Gabby. It’s all too common. And the result is always the same. One person’s life is wrapped up in making sure the other’s is wrapped up in them. Unfortunately, sometimes if that second person won’t comply the end is, well, the end.
If you are in a relationship where you feel things aren’t right, and you can’t have your own money, or time, or friends, or emotional stability, always made to feel stupid or incompetent, problems are always your fault, you feel like you’re walking on egg shells all the time, you’ve become afraid, and that you can’t have your own life, and you can’t leave, and you don’t want to end up like Gabby one day, please reach out for help. You can always call Martha’s House 24 hours 7 days a week at 863-763-2893. It’s safe and confidential.
