The fact that these parents were trying to contact Brian's parents BEFORE the van even showed up at their place, (worrying about Gabby AND Brian, and got NO answer) speaks VOLUMES. They knew
Losers. Selfish losers. When all of America wants answers on a strange death, you should be giving them. But when a family needs answers about their child, it’s mandatory. This family deserves it, SO MUCH. They worked so hard without their help, they found their daughter, unfortunately it wasn’t how they wanted to find her. But now the Laundries family needs to spill it. It’s time to stop protecting your temper tantrum son, he needs to be taught right from wrong.
@@ashleywilliams4665: God instilled a conscience into human beings, and people do know right from wrong. The only people who don't know right from wrong are newborns and mentally handicapped individuals.
This family is literally the definition of co-parenting done right. You can tell that they all care about each other respectfully and cared about Gabby.
Except they raised a daughter with mental health issues and so insecure that she stayed in a toxic relationship... And that's not a judgment, it's just a contrary opinion to yours. The few minutes they have been in front of the camera are not indicative of 20 something years of co-parenting (or however many years it was).
Mmmmmm, not sure. If this was the case Gabby would talk to them about her toxic relationships with Brian. I cannot blame parents, but if she wasn’t able to talk to any of them something was wrong.
The fact that these ex's and step parents can say "we've always been a team" WOW. So often times people divorce and they can barely hear the ex's name. RESPECT.
Her poor step father you can see how much is weighing on him. He’s trying to remain so strong but also dealing with being the one to identify her and tell the others. Breaks my soul to see the pain in his face.
@keith prempeh that is why the Petito family are setting up a foundation to make sure news of people missing get more publicised like Gabbys did. They want to let everyone get the same treatment.
@keith prempeh you are right that statistically, white missing persons usually are found more often, no matter the outcome, and get more media attention. But that’s our job. TIK tok is the reason Gabby’s case blew up. It’s our job as viewers and scrollers to decide if we spend an extra ten seconds posting, retweeting etc., for every single missing person and victim no matter their race or circumstance.
@keith prempeh this family made a collective decision to be proactive and loud in the media which helped them solve this case quickly, the media and police where on it. If the family bandits together in numbers I think race wouldn’t be an issue. Many parents have to make a decision on how they decide to come forward. If it is dangerous for the missing child or family member many times the parent or family will want to remain low key. This is an additional consideration.
This family is so dignified; I don't even see them as a divorced couple sitting there with their new partners. They are a wonderful family through and through and my heart hurts for them.
It's odd though cause it looks like they traded partners. Like the bio parents each got a newer version? It's odd but looking at the foursome, I think Gabby was very lucky to have them. All of them. Except the Laundries.
She was such a beautiful soul taken to soon yes this world has lost a magnificent young woman who could have gone on to such incredible heights her talent her love of people she was the best of the best God Bless you Gabby🙏🌹💖
Her mother looks like she’s just so emotionally drained. I can’t imagine how she feels losing her baby girl like that. I pray she finds peace and that Brian pays for his crime. SIP baby girl
Agreed....and his parents need to pay for their crime of harbouring him, rather than teaching him to own up to his horrible crime of killing dear Gabby.
@Lori Lazise He was dead before news of GP's disappearance really blew up. His parents were likely lied to about why her parents were calling and his parents told the police when they were concerned about how long he'd been gone. They didn't help him, harbor him, etc. If they did, they'd surely be charged due to the huge media focus on the case, but they haven't nor will they be.
It’s truly beautiful seeing how the step parents and birth parents all support each other & get along. They had her since she was a baby. So sweet. Very admirable. I’m glad she was so loved.
But if she was indeed so loved then why didn’t she ever feel comfortable enough to confide in any of them and tell them anything about her boyfriend or relationship problems? Her father said that he never saw any red flags. That’s the question going on in my head.
They remind me so much of my husband and my stepson and I and my stepson’s mom. We all love each other, even though we maybe didn’t always get along, we were there for each other for our son. This just got me in the feels since I think of my own stepson who has been in my life since he was 1 and now he is 20.
@@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex of course she did it was extremely touching and so good for Gabby they all loved her so much so they knew how to put this sweet lady to rest
Totally C.D... It's a magical example of co-parenting, we are waiting and praying for news and closure soon, for Gabby's family..❤from UNITED KINGDOM XXXX
She was such a lucky girl to have so many loving parents, who took the time and effort to co-parent her into a driven, ambitious, and kind person. She would be so proud of them all if she could see this interview.
Gabbys mom just looks exhausted….I can’t fathom the pain the loss the emotional terror they’ve all felt throughout this! It’s sick what the Laundries have done and are continuing to do! I’m literally sickened by the look of their faces
@@AT-cy7im I think the chances of him being alive is quite slim...That's just because If you had killed or taken the life of such a beautiful free spirited young Lady..Just how could you live with yourself ??
Just wish closure for her loved ones...They've been totally robbed of the most precious thing life can bring you...Brave parents,just composing themselves...to do this.. I feel if he'd accidently killed her...(that does happen) one push and she fell & hit her head...Or one punch and she died...If that was the scenario...Why on Earth wouldn't he stick around,tell it like it was, !! Defend himself through the accidental trauma...Tell someone what happened and let people know he couldn't come to terms wiv the sudden tragedy and beg for Leniency whilst declaring his undying Love.??? It's because it was NO ACCIDENT !! He must've turned on her wiv overpowering brute force and took her life .Snuffed out the light that she was..The Devil himself seems to be choosing his Victoms, taking the very best from among us... You go Gaby never forgotten In our heavenly Father and his loving sons safe arms..now..Our Dear God still has Great purpose for you...You are made of Love Gaby and Love surrounds your memory xx
@@MeneTekelUpharsin No, he's asking normal questions that we all have, and they agreed to come. It is sometimes liberating to be 'allowed' to answer the dark questions, instead of everyone pussyfooting around and saying sorry and crying, when inside they ask themselves the same as Dr. Phil does.
I really appreciate Gabbys family’s lawyer allowing them to tell their story and just adding in details that connect everything rather than speaking for them
Maybe if they had modeled healthier behavior she might not have stayed with an abusive man for that long and wouldn’t have ever gotten together with him in the first place. I would never have let my daughter go off in a van with someone I barely knew. I don’t see model parenting, I see failure on every level toward Gabby
@@doctoroclock7732 But they knew him. They were engaged and had been together for years. Also, she was 22. If you are controlling your daughter at 22 then YOU aren't modeling healthy behavior. These people are amazing parents you can tell just by watching them. You, not so much lol.
The attorney seems like the right fit for Gabby's case! He seems to genuinely care and has experience in this field of law. I feel for Gabby and her family it is such a sad situation.
@@ZootZinBootZ the thing about the Laundrie’s attorney & the Laundrie family is that they know each other personally, so if the family is shady, the attorney is gonna be shady. If anything, when it all goes to trial, I have a feeling that the Laundrie attorney will come up with a very absurd argument to justify Brian and loose anyway.
@@christina.lynn97 If he can't get disbarred first !! Its shocking to see such a mockery but the amazing people Gabbys 4 parents are is the counter to the absurdities of the Laundries... the parents best hope they have documented long term mental imparement or some other crazy excuse because they have way more than explaining to do , they probably have some time in custody of bankruptcy sized bills comming up.... its not over yet.
The drone footage shows the Laundrie parents gardening, totally relaxed and unconcerned. They know where their son is. Bless these amazing parents, their dignity is doing Gabby proud x
The Laundrie parents obviously never held their son accountable for his behavior and likely made excuses for him his whole life. That’s why he turned out to be such a mess. It’s just sad for these two great couples and for Gabby who didn’t deserve any of it.
No, not obviously. Sometimes is the opposite. Sometimes parents are dictators and want control and the choice over everything their kids do. Then, when these kids grow up, they do not know how to think for themselves, they do not know how to do anything for themselves when they find themselves free to make their own choices and to deal with life. We all know at one point of our lives someone who's parents were strict to the point of being extremist until the kid rebelled or took all the wrong roads when they were old enough to do as they pleased. You cannot make all the choices for your kids, you have to give them the opportunity to make their own choices so they learn to deal with the consequences of their own choices. Many parents see this as a threat to their authority. Parents like that only care about being obeyed and not about "guiding" their kids. Look up the three types of parenting: Authoritarian, Authoritative and Permissive. There is more than one way to mess up your child than the "not holding your child accountable." Most people do not even think that controlling your child is the easiest way to raise a spoiled child.
@@skyemed8964 I highly doubt his parents were dictators. This kid was left to roam wherever, whenever he liked. 'Authoritarian' parents would not provide such long ropes, your logic is flawed.
@@skyemed8964 okay professor dumba$$ xD. Don't take what I said too seriously, was just sayin', rest your poor soul, don't think too hard, you may start a fire.
Like I just don’t understand why he did it. Why did this all happen and why aren’t his parents looking for him? I mean we all know the answer but I still don’t understand how they could be so heartless smdh
So true, that's because they have respect for life. His parent's don't care at all. Now they are worried that something has happened to their son??? I mean I sure hope they find him alive because he deserves to pay for what he has done to such a beautiful girl.
When Nicole said that she was worried about BOTH of them bc she didn’t yet know what was going on, she just knew she wasn’t reaching anybody, it was so very sad. It makes Brian more of a monster IMO, she was so kind to worry about him too 😢
I know. The pain in her eyes is heartbreaking 💔 She is never going to be the same 😢 My heart hurts so bad for her. I hope to God that they find him and they at least get the answers they desperately want/need. Petitos and Schmidts, if you are reading this by chance, I’m so so so sorry this happened. But know that Gabby shone her light all over the world 🌎 My heart ❤️ is with your family. Gabby was a BEAUTIFUL girl and has impacted the whole world. I hope you find peace and some closure someday.
@@spidercat8240 woe....out of the 4 of them, it's momma bear who has the eye of the tiger. She wants and needs Brian's mom's head on a spike on her front lawn and she will make it her life's mission to get it. Not returning her phone calls is going to be the worst decision Roberta laundrie ever made.
The tattoos are so heartbreaking and beautiful. Especially the brothers. The fact that the brother had it done BY HER is so special. He’ll always remember that.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” (Jamie Anderson) Rip Gabby
@@LarryDepontes oh my goodness im so sorry for your loss! as a Mother of a son who is just 4 years old and 3 year old daughter , just reading that broke my heart into pieces. I will pray for your healing and strength every day! 🙏❤
For everyone saying “they’re showing no emotion” or things along that line…when something like this happens, especially to your own child, you reach a point where you physically can’t cry any more tears. My heart breaks for her family.
Yes. Now they are at their righteous anger stage. Its time to stop crying and focus on catching this murderer. I cant imagine that type of stress they're going through.
To the parents: When I lost my son, I also tended to go down 'the rabbit hole' with 'what ifs.' Something that helped me was that I realized that just because my mind brought up a question, didn't mean I had to answer it or even think about it. When a 'what if' would come, I practiced saying to myself, "That's a question that doesn't need to be answered." Then, I'd distract myself. All questions do not require answers. My deepest condolences. Hugs, Barbara
That’s wonderful advice. I’ve had that experience of torturing myself with “what ifs” too. It puts such an emotional burden on an already stressful situation.
Her story has really spoke out to me, i got out of a toxic relationship and was getting choked and almost died. This story really speaks to me because this could’ve been me….. Gabby woke up everyone who goes through domestic violence to get out before it’s too late. Rest In Peace Gabby, you seemed so amazing, I wish I could’ve been your friend 😢
My heart goes out to you. I was also a victim. Twice. To narcissistic men. I am in the discard phase and running. I know the back and forth pattern. But I'm not allowing it anymore. I'm running back to NC soon so I'll be free completely.
Ditto… the guys pit bull would save me ❤️ R.I.P. crazy how police let rapists run rampant. I’ve gotten raped over 50 times, by 6 different guys… no wonder us females get this SOOO much. Bcuz police don’t care, media doesn’t care, no one cares about young women getting killed, and raped. Sad. The police could’ve stopped this while pulling over this young couple OBVIOUSLY not having a good time, and PHYSICALLY abusive. The girl had scratched, and hit this guy while driving as well.
YES, SAME HERE! I was in a toxic relationship and it really woke me up. I was beaten, raped, still loved that monster but finally couldn't take no more. I got out and I remained safe. F him and all other abusiver's, toxic, narc/sociopathic people like them!
Lets give the Attorney more credits. He's like a really nice and genuine guy. He always speaks for the family when they are asked a hard question BECAUSE he knows how to answer them in a such a good way. This makes me want to become a lawyer! Props to him. He has been with them from the very beginning of this case.
Agreed - some people have said he’s too stony and serious, but I think when you’re in his position, you have to leave the moments of levity/humour to the family if they feel up to it, it’s not appropriate for him to be smiley/chirpy or steal the spotlight from them in media appearances.
“what have they done to find Brian, i haven’t seen them on any TV shows” You hit the nail on the head Mr. Petito! He’s not missing because they know exactly where he is. 🎯
Even Brian SISTER has been on tv shows, pleading her family to start talking and tell them where Brian is. She has been shut out by them all, I’m guessing because they knew she wouldn’t go along with their plans. She would speak up.
Such a classy group of people. This is just heartbreaking. This case REALLY affects me. I feel so sad for them. As a parent... I can’t even imagine what they’re feeling.
Get a grip, Ryan. There are hundreds of thousands of open missing persons cases and unsolved murders in the US, and millions of grieving relatives. This case "really" affected you because the media keeps broadcasting it 24/7.
I like that both Gabby's parents and their partners are all ok with each other. It's very very mature for these day's standards. It says a lot about who their daughter is. I know she's alive in a better place.
I really appreciate that that Joe Petito refuses to let her death be meaningless. One way or another he will ensure his daughters legacy is not a reflection of her passing, but a reflection of the young woman she truly was.
They were concerned both were missing :( Imagine worrying about someone elses child and trying to call the other parents to raise your concerns, only to be ghosted. Then later you find out they knew so much long before everyone else and gave zero cares about your childs wellbeing. If only the Laundries cared for Gabbys welfare like Gabbys family did for Brian.
The sickening part is that there's other men out there exactly like him in relationships with women that deserve so much better than what they've settled for. If Gabby were my girlfriend I would have cherished her. I just hope others out there that are in relationships like the one Gabby was in are able to clearly recognize when someone Isn't right for him or her before It's too late. Not everyone is fortunate enough to get out of an abusive relationship
My daughter is Gabby's age and I can only imagine what these parents are going through. We also parent as a team. My kids have 2 sets of parents. I don't come across other parents like Gabby's & us who can co-parent and spend all holidays as a big family and get along so very well. The world needs more parents like this.
That feeling, it is undescribable. No, I haven't been in a situation, but when I lost my mother in a sudden car accident, it us such a void, nothing can fill it. Even if one learns to go onwards, we just have that there, that missing piece. Now reverse it to a parent loosing a child... I cannot imagine. They deserve answers. We will not let Brian get away with this.
I am humbled by how articulate Gabby's family are. I feel like if I were grieving deeply, I would not be able to advocate for my child as well as they have. They deserve so much recognition for their ability to keep it together under the worst possible circumstances, in order to give Gabby the respect she deserves. God bless them.
Out of respect for Gabby it's their honor to speak with dignity about their daughter....no one else can do that except them, plus it helps to speak out.
I love my former wife as the wonderful mother she has always been to my children. I am more than thankful to her husband for the love and being a steady presence in my children’s life. They are our children. The Gabby events are absolutely heartbreaking. What an awesome young lady. My heart aches for them all
This INFURIATES me... This poor family deserves answers and those parents are withholding information, there is not doubt about it. Rip Gabby... She seems like such a beautiful soul and I hope she gets the justice they deserve ❤️
@@renesmee463 nope. A lot of people think he’s dead because there’s not much hope of him surviving if he just ran off into the wilderness but I think he was “smarter” than that and had a plan, has supplies, has shelter and people helping him etc. I can’t wait until they find him, and I hope he’s alive so he has to suffer through trial and life in prison
Okay, completely broke down when they mentioned Gabby tattooed her brother before she passed away, his appreciation for that tattoo just changed so much.
Stonewalling was the worst, most cruel thing those parents could do to Gabby's family. Brian needs to be held accountable. I understand how anger in intimate relationships can take hold. But walking away is always the right answer. He could have left at any time. If he was unable to continue the trip because of volatile relationship, then quitting is acceptable.
@@chrissyburmeister1683 The whole laudrie family needs locking up, just for what we know. Hope they go down with their son when it all comes out, and it will. Dirtbags.
These parents and step-parents are the true epitome of how all parents who divorce, should convey themselves and how to make a child/children of divorce feel loved and supported in order to be successful and flourish in life. I’ve gotten entangled in the worst way of how to CoParent but certainty NOT by choice. It’s amazing how evil people can be. Prayers to this family now and forever and always. ♥️
As a young woman who had low self esteem and stayed in emotionally abusive situations with men I should have left long before, I can tell you that this stuff is learned from watching your parents. These parents aren’t Saints. They should never have let their precious daughter have gone off in a tiny tiny van with a man they barely knew. They failed her, big time.
I feel for Gabby's parents. She was such a beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her. The whole Laundrie family should be held accountable for their unlawful actions in this horrible situation.
Joe is a very good father and a respectable man...all of them really good people I can tell that they all loved Gabby and tried Soo hard to help her ...I remember Joe said Gabby came in to his life during a difficult time..mabey she was a Gardian Angel the whole time ❤️❤️
My heart hurts seeing her mother hurt. I can only imagine the pain they are all feeling. There's nothing like a mother's love for her child and losing that child is just heart wrenching.
Many parents have these strengths. You’re right it’s not common but there’s other parents as dignified. This whole thing is heartbreaking and can stir up the darkness in many. We should be mindful of our chosen words to express how we feel.
Her mother breaks my heart. I just want to scoop her up and hug her. This however, is a beautiful way to co-parent. The dignity and respect they all show each other is nothing short of heartwarming. . I am not religious but I pray for peace for them all.

I lve in Sweden so I had no idea so many girls go missing in those beautiful wild areas. What coul be the maine factor. We have big areas of nature here but people don,t go missing. You haave any idea, woud be thankful to learn something about the usa. Hugs Anita
@@anitaroempke7310 people use these areas because it's harder to find people and there's lots of wildlife that will eat the remains and drag them for miles making it even harder. But that's just one reason I'm sure there's more.
They seem like such a nice family. I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling. Not just with the death of Gabby but the absolute disrespect and disregard for life from Brian and his parents. Gabby's life will always be remembered and her passing will always be meaningful for all women in abusive relationships. It was the step so many needed to see to take the step to get out. So much love for you guys.
How do Brian’s parents conduct their daily living habits, like going to work, grocery shopping, appointments etc without feeling any shame? Human decency would warrant communication with Gabby’s parents immediately after Brian came home alone. The calm and composure both sets of parents are displaying is nothing short of a miracle…praying the families receive the truth sooner than later. God bless Gaby 🦋🦋🦋 and all those who have gone missing.
I have no doubt they know he's okay. The Father hit the nail on the head. Why are they not reaching out to anyone to help find Brian? I think we all know the answer to that.
When adults act mature and raise a child not as leverage but surrounded by love 💕 they form a unity around and for the child and it is evident here . Such heart break for them all ❤️🩹
Every day I wake up hoping I'll see the headline "Brian Laundrie Captured." So far, hasn't happened but his day is coming! I pray it's soon!! Gabby's family deserves justice ⚖
Gabby's life and loss was not in vain. She touched hearts around the world, asking them to open and focus on finding missing women of all colors, especially indigenous, black, and trans. She shines brightly with her love for you. My condolences. Your family exudes love and strength, even as you grieve and carry on her light in this world. Hugs.
This family should be the poster board for what great co-parenting looks like. I wonder if they have thought about running courses or seminars on how to do it properly. Many families struggle with it ♡ They also have admirable self control.. If I was in their situation I can't say I wouldn't be above taking a baseball bat to the windows so that Brian's parents would speak to me. God bless ♡
No one should be a poster for anything. You have no idea what these people went through prior to divorcing, during their relationship etc. We see what they’re presenting and I’m certain they’ve been coached for tv.
@@SuperSasha1969 what are you talking about? They have all been married to their spouses for 20 years. They are very genuine people and are going through a lot. Did you even hear their interview? Seems like you didn't.
Joe has Gabby smile to the tee! when he smiled about the tattoos he look just like Gabby. God bless this dear family may he give them peace in this hard time. Our prayers are with them each day .this is so tough. They are strong people.
My heart hurts for this family. They are at the beginning of a lifelong painful journey. I lost my 23 year old daughter. It never ends. Dr. Phil please do something like this for the Summer Wells case too. She needs to be found.
If we're going by with this interview, we can tell that Gabby was raised in such a beautiful, loving, emotionally healthy environment. We can guess she's a girl full of life, kind, understanding, and forgiving.. something that attracts narcissists. Such a terrible combination to have someone entitled to drain the life out of you with someone who is always willing to constantly forgive and give another chance. I mean, being constantly being on and off like her best friend said; maybe it's just me, but that just spells trauma bonding.
Watching this I'm wondering why was she attracted to this abusive man coming from a family which supposedly shown her what healthy love looks like. Girls should be raised to have non-negotiable boundaries & high standards instead of being polite & forgiving because it attracts abusive males.
I have been there for almost the past 2 years. I've finally escaped. I knew what the outcome was already when they were looking for her and sharing the video of her crying in the police car. I felt her heart, because it was my own. Narcissists are pure evil. NPD needs even more awareness. When these demons latch onto you, it's very difficult to get away. Im moving soon to get away from all of it. Victims can escape before it's too late. This story hit me hard. My heart hurts for this family. My mother shares this with me often to remind me what could happen.
Praying for this beautiful blended family. I can't imagine what they must be going through, especially since this case is so public. I hope this case ends with the answers this family needs.
This is so heartbreaking. Abuse goes further than just physical abuse, theres also other forms of abuse like emotional, mental, and financial. She seemed like such a sweet girl, sometimes as a woman we fall so inlove that we see past all of those forms of abuse. Brian is such a coward and I hope that they give Gabby the justice that she deserves. Stay safe ladies, lets all learn from Gabbys story. RIP, my condolences go out to her family. I think that this story hit close to home because I am also from Ny, im 22 years old and I am a woman.
Melissa, with so many similarities to Gabby, this almost mirrors your life, minus the abuse(s) hopefully!! I get why you feel so close to this case and I have to say that I agree with you on every turn. There is also verbal abuse as well that can really be just as harmful....such as a word punching you in the heart as apposed to a fist hitting you in the gut. I divorced my ex-husband of almost 16 yrs of marriage because of the sever verbal abuse that bordered physical abuse of which he was starting to show. He graduated to small nudging to bigger stances such as pushing and shoving me around, that's where I drew the line, gathered my kids and left. I was so lucky to get out and feel very blessed to have gotten out, but to get my kids away from this type of behavior also. Be safe and healthy, Melissa and take care!!!
Yep, i barely survived my ex. She abused me physically by exhausting all my energy, she abused me mentally by having to listen to her, she abused me emotionally by not leaving me alone until she could finish abusing me financially.
To Gabby's family...I'm so sorry this happened. I truly cannot imagine how your feeling. My heart goes out to you with love and hugs. To his family The world is watching you all If your any sort of true parents your son is a grown man tell him to do the right thing give him up
My heart goes out to the Petito family. Gabby had wonderful parents, and you all are beautiful souls. I pray you get answers and justice will be served soon. Stay strong.
It's really sad how he mentioned feeling okay with her going on the trip because she thoroughly planned it out so well for over a year. Out of all the bad things that could have happened I'm sure something like this never even crossed their minds.
@Jen F agreed. If my 22 year old daughter spent 1.5 years planning this trip and was taking her boyfriend/fiance, I would have actually thought, cool, he won't let anything happen to her. It would give me a greater sense of security that she had someone who loved her with her. Who would have ever thought the one person you trusted to protect her would be the one who actually killed her? Omg.. 😭
Gabby is an inspiration and so are her parents. The bond the four of them have is beautiful. You can feel the respect, love and unity… I think that’s why Gabby became such an amazing young woman. The world does know her name, her smile and will forever remember her. She was pure light on earth and still shines. My heart breaks for her, I was in an abusive relationship when I was a year older. It went from verbal, emotional to physical. I got out and I thank God for that one moment of strength when I said “ I’m done!”. It takes quite a while to heal from what you’ve been through and to find your true self again, but it’s worth it. I can’t thank Gabby’s parents enough for bringing this very serious, very real topic to light. It’s been in the dark much to long. God bless the Petito Schmidt family and Gabby, be happy and peaceful in Heaven. 🙏🏻
I agree. These 4 parents have shaped an absoutely wonderful daughter. I was 15-20 and was in a very abusive relationship. It was always about making me feel bad and when we moved in together it got physical. Cheating , abuse mentality verbally and physically. Here we are 9 years later and I made it out and it took everything I could to get away and there’s not alot of people who do get out of an abusive relationship RIP GABBY. ❤️❤️❤️
I don't understand how the Laundries can live with themselves. How heartless can they be? My heart breaks for Gabby's family. That poor girl. I hope they find him or he grows a pair and comes forward!!!
I hate it, but if there was any chance I could be seen as a party to a crime by child committed in a court of law, I would also listen to my attorney even if I wasn't guilty. You have to be careful in highly public and emotionally charged situations like this. Prosecutors are out for blood. Our society wants a fair justice system, but we get angry when it's fair. I liked your comment. I'm not against anything you said. I'm just giving another perspective.
Gabby's story is a warning to all... IF YOU ARE IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, GET OUT. DO NOT IGNORE THE SIGNS. My heart goes out to Gabbi.... her family... this is very heartbreaking.
Thank you doctor Phil. I’m in tears looking at my baby while they are talking about theirs. These parents loved her so much and ran as a unit which is amazing. Their daughter inspires me and after the hype always will. Unconditional prayers and love to these beautiful people
As my humble opinion, I don’t think Brian is deceased by his own doing. He had 11+ days to do that after he made it home to Florida before vanishing and he didn’t. Brian is running. Brian is hiding.
Indeed. In my opinion he loves himself too much to end his own Life. I even think he really thinks of himself as the victim. there's no regret or empathy.
It's the callousness of the Laundrie family that has captivated the world's attention. Everyone wants justice for Gabby Petito and her family and they will get it soon.

I love how united the 4 of them are. What a powerful message.

Frl
Yesssss!!!
Example to follow ❤️
Yes I love that too. You can tell she had a strong support system in her life
The fact that these parents were trying to contact Brian's parents BEFORE the van even showed up at their place, (worrying about Gabby AND Brian, and got NO answer) speaks VOLUMES. They knew
The attitude of the Laundrie family, especially the parents, is beyond disgusting, heartless, rude,.
Absolute monsters.
Losers.
Selfish losers. When all of America wants answers on a strange death, you should be giving them. But when a family needs answers about their child, it’s mandatory.
This family deserves it, SO MUCH. They worked so hard without their help, they found their daughter, unfortunately it wasn’t how they wanted to find her. But now the Laundries family needs to spill it. It’s time to stop protecting your temper tantrum son, he needs to be taught right from wrong.
@@ashleywilliams4665: God instilled a conscience into human beings, and people do know right from wrong. The only people who don't know right from wrong are newborns and mentally handicapped individuals.
They are disgusting 🤮 they knew & helped him !!!!!
This family is literally the definition of co-parenting done right. You can tell that they all care about each other respectfully and cared about Gabby.
I couldn’t agree more! The grace and love they have for Gabby and one another has been on full display. God bless them.
Except they raised a daughter with mental health issues and so insecure that she stayed in a toxic relationship... And that's not a judgment, it's just a contrary opinion to yours. The few minutes they have been in front of the camera are not indicative of 20 something years of co-parenting (or however many years it was).
They’re adults acting like adults, unfortunately an uncommon sight these days.
@@googleuser2226 I was in a toxic relationship yet was raised in a loving home with a step parent… that’s offensive.
Mmmmmm, not sure. If this was the case Gabby would talk to them about her toxic relationships with Brian. I cannot blame parents, but if she wasn’t able to talk to any of them something was wrong.
The fact that these ex's and step parents can say "we've always been a team" WOW. So often times people divorce and they can barely hear the ex's name. RESPECT.
That's what lal
I absolutely agree. Did you hear. About the boy he killed himself

Hello
@@tracydamond3761 Hello
Her poor step father you can see how much is weighing on him. He’s trying to remain so strong but also dealing with being the one to identify her and tell the others. Breaks my soul to see the pain in his face.
@keith prempeh jfk
@keith prempeh last person who made national news was Hispanic.Vanessa Guillen
@keith prempeh that is why the Petito family are setting up a foundation to make sure news of people missing get more publicised like Gabbys did. They want to let everyone get the same treatment.
@keith prempeh you are right that statistically, white missing persons usually are found more often, no matter the outcome, and get more media attention. But that’s our job. TIK tok is the reason Gabby’s case blew up. It’s our job as viewers and scrollers to decide if we spend an extra ten seconds posting, retweeting etc., for every single missing person and victim no matter their race or circumstance.
@keith prempeh this family made a collective decision to be proactive and loud in the media which helped them solve this case quickly, the media and police where on it. If the family bandits together in numbers I think race wouldn’t be an issue. Many parents have to make a decision on how they decide to come forward. If it is dangerous for the missing child or family member many times the parent or family will want to remain low key. This is an additional consideration.
This family is so dignified; I don't even see them as a divorced couple sitting there with their new partners. They are a wonderful family through and through and my heart hurts for them.
I agree! She had 4 people that love her a lot. I just wish that the night her and Brian separated that she would have left him & went home.
It's odd though cause it looks like they traded partners. Like the bio parents each got a newer version?
It's odd but looking at the foursome, I think Gabby was very lucky to have them. All of them. Except the Laundries.
She was such a beautiful soul taken to soon yes this world has lost a magnificent young woman who could have gone on to such incredible heights her talent her love of people she was the best of the best God Bless you Gabby🙏🌹💖
They are a family unit , so wonderful to see you can hear the pain in her step dad’s heart 💜 her 🥲💜💜
Yes a perfect example of how breaking up can bring good things to the family..they added love to Gabby's life
The 4 of them being so in unison is very inspiring and shows true family.
They’re a beautiful family. 🙏🏻🌈
They are absolutely unified and it was stated that they have always been a team! What a beautiful thing!
Those 4 being a team, with the focus of optimum parenting, is a truly beautiful thing. Gabby, I know you with be with them always. 🧘♀️
If gabby was in such an abusive relationship why didnt any of these family members help her? She was in a relatipnship.with brian for at least 4 years
They probably didn’t know or have or off. I’m sure they had opinions bout the bastard but young folks I. “Love” are not going to listen
Her mother looks like she’s just so emotionally drained. I can’t imagine how she feels losing her baby girl like that. I pray she finds peace and that Brian pays for his crime. SIP baby girl
Agreed....and his parents need to pay for their crime of harbouring him, rather than teaching him to own up to his horrible crime of killing dear Gabby.
@Lori Lazise
He was dead before news of GP's disappearance really blew up. His parents were likely lied to about why her parents were calling and his parents told the police when they were concerned about how long he'd been gone.
They didn't help him, harbor him, etc.
If they did, they'd surely be charged due to the huge media focus on the case, but they haven't nor will they be.

Her pain is so deep I got chills when she started talking
It’s truly beautiful seeing how the step parents and birth parents all support each other & get along. They had her since she was a baby. So sweet. Very admirable. I’m glad she was so loved.
she had 4 loving parents
This may be why Gabby was so trusting of a creep like Brian Laundrie. She grew up as a very nice person. I hope the alligators 🐊 got him !!
But if she was indeed so loved then why didn’t she ever feel comfortable enough to confide in any of them and tell them anything about her boyfriend or relationship problems? Her father said that he never saw any red flags. That’s the question going on in my head.
@@hbarajas9878 That’s actually not accurate. It’s well known that women with a history of trauma attract Narcissists and psychopaths.
They remind me so much of my husband and my stepson and I and my stepson’s mom. We all love each other, even though we maybe didn’t always get along, we were there for each other for our son. This just got me in the feels since I think of my own stepson who has been in my life since he was 1 and now he is 20.
All four of these parents are incredible. They are helping others through their pain. Praying for them

Agree! he seems like a great guy! Appeared to keep up on everything
She was such a lucky girl to have so many loving parents, who took the time and effort to co-parent her into a driven, ambitious, and kind person. She would be so proud of them all if she could see this interview.
She was definitely watching over and was 100% proud to see them all together
Such a beautiful comment, I’m so proud of these parents wish everyone liked this.
Yeah she would be. I'm sure she is so proud that they are carrying on her legacy. ✝️🛐💟
That is a beautiful comment and I do believe she was right there with them during this interview and is so very proud of her family. 💙
She sees every bit of what's going on.
Gabbys mom just looks exhausted….I can’t fathom the pain the loss the emotional terror they’ve all felt throughout this! It’s sick what the Laundries have done and are continuing to do! I’m literally sickened by the look of their faces
They are devils disguised in human and devils exist on Earth. Unlucky for those who stand on their way.
An example from the laundries
As a mama of two girls I could never imagine her pain 😞 even trying to is impossible yet so heartbreaking 💔
yes emotional terror - that's the right way to put it. Man I so hope they catch him and dump him in jail.
@@AT-cy7im I think the chances of him being alive is quite slim...That's just because If you had killed or taken the life of such a beautiful free spirited young Lady..Just how could you live with yourself ??
Just wish closure for her loved ones...They've been totally robbed of the most precious thing life can bring you...Brave parents,just composing themselves...to do this..
I feel if he'd accidently killed her...(that does happen) one push and she fell & hit her head...Or one punch and she died...If that was the scenario...Why on Earth wouldn't he stick around,tell it like it was, !! Defend himself through the accidental trauma...Tell someone what happened and let people know he couldn't come to terms wiv the sudden tragedy and beg for Leniency whilst declaring his undying Love.??? It's because it was NO ACCIDENT !!
He must've turned on her wiv overpowering brute force and took her life .Snuffed out the light that she was..The Devil himself seems to be choosing his Victoms, taking the very best from among us...

These people are being so nice. It’s unbelievable how composed they are.
Right!!!!!
The grace and love in this family is awe inspiring
You can see the anger in Gabby's Dad's eyes tho.. he is trying to hold it all together.. bless him. Bless them all...x🧡
DR. Phil keeps asking them question to make them angry or get emotion.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin No, he's asking normal questions that we all have, and they agreed to come. It is sometimes liberating to be 'allowed' to answer the dark questions, instead of everyone pussyfooting around and saying sorry and crying, when inside they ask themselves the same as Dr. Phil does.
I really appreciate Gabbys family’s lawyer allowing them to tell their story and just adding in details that connect everything rather than speaking for them
I really admire how united the birth parents and step parents are, that's really rare. And they're being very composed given the circumstances.
Hope Brian is punished and put behind bars
). Bspooky
N
I love how the four parents have come together as a team despite being divorced. They're incredibly composed considering what they've been through.
They are a class act for sure. I truly hope they can find peace, somehow.
Right
Maybe if they had modeled healthier behavior she might not have stayed with an abusive man for that long and wouldn’t have ever gotten together with him in the first place. I would never have let my daughter go off in a van with someone I barely knew. I don’t see model parenting, I see failure on every level toward Gabby
@@doctoroclock7732 But they knew him. They were engaged and had been together for years. Also, she was 22. If you are controlling your daughter at 22 then YOU aren't modeling healthy behavior. These people are amazing parents you can tell just by watching them. You, not so much lol.
My ex husband and I do this with our son. My ex met my husband before our son did.
The attorney seems like the right fit for Gabby's case! He seems to genuinely care and has experience in this field of law.
I feel for Gabby and her family it is such a sad situation.
I agree
Compared to the laundries joke attorney this one is a master... the case is going to be very interesting. This guy is fighting for gabby.
@@ZootZinBootZ the thing about the Laundrie’s attorney & the Laundrie family is that they know each other personally, so if the family is shady, the attorney is gonna be shady. If anything, when it all goes to trial, I have a feeling that the Laundrie attorney will come up with a very absurd argument to justify Brian and loose anyway.
@@christina.lynn97 If he can't get disbarred first !! Its shocking to see such a mockery but the amazing people Gabbys 4 parents are is the counter to the absurdities of the Laundries... the parents best hope they have documented long term mental imparement or some other crazy excuse because they have way more than explaining to do , they probably have some time in custody of bankruptcy sized bills comming up.... its not over yet.
I feel anyone could prove guilt... Brian has made it easy!
The drone footage shows the Laundrie parents gardening, totally relaxed and unconcerned. They know where their son is.

The Laundrie parents obviously never held their son accountable for his behavior and likely made excuses for him his whole life. That’s why he turned out to be such a mess. It’s just sad for these two great couples and for Gabby who didn’t deserve any of it.
No, not obviously. Sometimes is the opposite. Sometimes parents are dictators and want control and the choice over everything their kids do. Then, when these kids grow up, they do not know how to think for themselves, they do not know how to do anything for themselves when they find themselves free to make their own choices and to deal with life. We all know at one point of our lives someone who's parents were strict to the point of being extremist until the kid rebelled or took all the wrong roads when they were old enough to do as they pleased. You cannot make all the choices for your kids, you have to give them the opportunity to make their own choices so they learn to deal with the consequences of their own choices. Many parents see this as a threat to their authority. Parents like that only care about being obeyed and not about "guiding" their kids. Look up the three types of parenting: Authoritarian, Authoritative and Permissive. There is more than one way to mess up your child than the "not holding your child accountable." Most people do not even think that controlling your child is the easiest way to raise a spoiled child.
It definitely is so sad. It’s an example of how not to parent
@@skyemed8964 I highly doubt his parents were dictators. This kid was left to roam wherever, whenever he liked. 'Authoritarian' parents would not provide such long ropes, your logic is flawed.
@@Venolin1 You are not very smart at reading comprehension, right? Read what I wrote and search where does it says his parents are authoritarians.

It’s maddening how cruel the Laundries are to the parents, the silent treatment is a form of abuse.
It’s the age-old tool of the weak & cowardly!
Like I just don’t understand why he did it. Why did this all happen and why aren’t his parents looking for him? I mean we all know the answer but I still don’t understand how they could be so heartless smdh
That’s what I kept trying to get through to my ex but it only got me more silent treatment
Despicable behavior by his parents. Really evil people.
Absolutely cruel...I agree. Cowards
This is the best co-parenting I’ve ever seen. They really seem like one big family full of support, it’s amazing.
The fact that her family cared about both gabby and Brian and Brian’s family didn’t care about gabby says A LOT
Any decent person would care if someone you know is missing even more if is your son and his girlfriend
Especially because gabby lived with Brian and his family!
@@monicarodriguez9797 exactly.
So true, that's because they have respect for life. His parent's don't care at all. Now they are worried that something has happened to their son??? I mean I sure hope they find him alive because he deserves to pay for what he has done to such a beautiful girl.
Right
When Nicole said that she was worried about BOTH of them bc she didn’t yet know what was going on, she just knew she wasn’t reaching anybody, it was so very sad. It makes Brian more of a monster IMO, she was so kind to worry about him too 😢
I'm sorry, but Brian is an obvious psychopath with a head injury. No way any of her parents liked him..

The mother is devastated. She is also very angry at the laundries and wants to strangle them for their cruelty.
@@spidercat8240 woe....out of the 4 of them, it's momma bear who has the eye of the tiger.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” (Jamie Anderson)

For everyone saying “they’re showing no emotion” or things along that line…when something like this happens, especially to your own child, you reach a point where you physically can’t cry any more tears. My heart breaks for her family.
They are in shock and feel dead inside.
Very true. They probably have been crying since the day she went missing.
Yes. Now they are at their righteous anger stage. Its time to stop crying and focus on catching this murderer. I cant imagine that type of stress they're going through.
Yes it could also be meds. This is a crisis. A provider could provide them with some
or they know that if they start to cry, they won't be able to pull it back together.
To the parents: When I lost my son, I also tended to go down 'the rabbit hole' with 'what ifs.' Something that helped me was that I realized that just because my mind brought up a question, didn't mean I had to answer it or even think about it. When a 'what if' would come, I practiced saying to myself, "That's a question that doesn't need to be answered." Then, I'd distract myself. All questions do not require answers. My deepest condolences. Hugs, Barbara
This is kind and wise advice. Thanks for sharing and so sorry for the loss of your son.
@ Barb it won’t change anything so there is really no point 💕
That’s wonderful advice. I’ve had that experience of torturing myself with “what ifs” too. It puts such an emotional burden on an already stressful situation.
I’m sorry to hear about your son❤️
I hope they see this I can t imagine how they feel
Her story has really spoke out to me, i got out of a toxic relationship and was getting choked and almost died. This story really speaks to me because this could’ve been me….. Gabby woke up everyone who goes through domestic violence to get out before it’s too late. Rest In Peace Gabby, you seemed so amazing, I wish I could’ve been your friend 😢
My heart goes out to you. I was also a victim. Twice. To narcissistic men. I am in the discard phase and running. I know the back and forth pattern. But I'm not allowing it anymore. I'm running back to NC soon so I'll be free completely.
Ditto… the guys pit bull would save me ❤️ R.I.P. crazy how police let rapists run rampant. I’ve gotten raped over 50 times, by 6 different guys… no wonder us females get this SOOO much. Bcuz police don’t care, media doesn’t care, no one cares about young women getting killed, and raped. Sad. The police could’ve stopped this while pulling over this young couple OBVIOUSLY not having a good time, and PHYSICALLY abusive. The girl had scratched, and hit this guy while driving as well.
YES, SAME HERE! I was in a toxic relationship and it really woke me up. I was beaten, raped, still loved that monster but finally couldn't take no more. I got out and I remained safe. F him and all other abusiver's, toxic, narc/sociopathic people like them!
Lets give the Attorney more credits. He's like a really nice and genuine guy. He always speaks for the family when they are asked a hard question BECAUSE he knows how to answer them in a such a good way. This makes me want to become a lawyer! Props to him. He has been with them from the very beginning of this case.
Agreed - some people have said he’s too stony and serious, but I think when you’re in his position, you have to leave the moments of levity/humour to the family if they feel up to it, it’s not appropriate for him to be smiley/chirpy or steal the spotlight from them in media appearances.

Imagine worrying about someone elses child and trying to call the other parents to raise your concerns, only to be ghosted. Then later you find out they knew so much long before everyone else and gave zero cares about your childs wellbeing.
If only the Laundries cared for Gabbys welfare like Gabbys family did for Brian.
The sickening part is that there's other men out there exactly like him in relationships with women that deserve so much better than what they've settled for. If Gabby were my girlfriend I would have cherished her.

Going by his and his families reactions I'd say it's well beyond suspect. Him running and hiding is him proving his own guilt.
Okay, completely broke down when they mentioned Gabby tattooed her brother before she passed away, his appreciation for that tattoo just changed so much.
Stonewalling was the worst, most cruel thing those parents could do to Gabby's family. Brian needs to be held accountable. I understand how anger in intimate relationships can take hold. But walking away is always the right answer. He could have left at any time. If he was unable to continue the trip because of volatile relationship, then quitting is acceptable.

@@chrissyburmeister1683 The whole laudrie family needs locking up, just for what we know. Hope they go down with their son when it all comes out, and it will. Dirtbags.
These parents and step-parents are the true epitome of how all parents who divorce, should convey themselves and how to make a child/children of divorce feel loved and supported in order to be successful and flourish in life. I’ve gotten entangled in the worst way of how to CoParent but certainty NOT by choice. It’s amazing how evil people can be. Prayers to this family now and forever and always. ♥️
How can you determine all that from one interview you have no idea how they behave alone as co parents but yes thank god they’re behaving.
As a young woman who had low self esteem and stayed in emotionally abusive situations with men I should have left long before, I can tell you that this stuff is learned from watching your parents. These parents aren’t Saints. They should never have let their precious daughter have gone off in a tiny tiny van with a man they barely knew. They failed her, big time.

These parents are so strong and beautiful as a family!
It’s amazing how strong this family is.
Joe is so strong. He’s been matter of fact since this whole mess started and he’s definitely a glue holding this family together. Praying for them
I feel for Gabby's parents. She was such a beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her. The whole Laundrie family should be held accountable for their unlawful actions in this horrible situation.
I agree with you,she still had her whole life ahead of her,poor Gabby,may she R.I.P. We all want justice for Gabby!!!!👏👏
For sure its coming the son will be hurt and I won't feel sorry for the family at all since they don't feel sorry what the son did to Gabby anyway
yes!
If Brian truly loved her,you’d think he wouldn’t want this to be her memory. She wants her family to have answers & be at peace so she can.
He didn't love gabby, you don't hurt, let alone (allegedly) kill your loved one, he obviously doesn't love himself ! Sad sad human 😞
If it was an accident then surrender but he's acting as if he is guilty. These poor parents want answers it's their right 👌
He didn’t love her

Exactly.
If you truly love someone you don't murder them
Joe is a very good father and a respectable man...all of them really good people I can tell that they all loved Gabby and tried Soo hard to help her ...I remember Joe said Gabby came in to his life during a difficult time..mabey she was a Gardian Angel the whole time ❤️❤️

My heart hurts seeing her mother hurt. I can only imagine the pain they are all feeling. There's nothing like a mother's love for her child and losing that child is just heart wrenching.
This is STRENGTH, CLASS and PARENTAL LOVE...qualities that the other “parents” possess absolutely none of.
Many parents have these strengths. You’re right it’s not common but there’s other parents as dignified.
This whole thing is heartbreaking and can stir up the darkness in many. We should be mindful of our chosen words to express how we feel.
Amen!
These people are being so nice. It’s unbelievable how composed they are.
The fact this father held back, knowing the guy who killed his daughter could be sitting there watching this. The self control is immense,

The dirty Laundries need to be held legally accountable for helping their monster of a son cover up this crime.
Her mother breaks my heart. I just want to scoop her up and hug her. This however, is a beautiful way to co-parent. The dignity and respect they all show each other is nothing short of heartwarming. . I am not religious but I pray for peace for them all.
I hope gabby with her wings and she is continuing her journey going from star to star and continuing her blog there in peace - and she knows how much she is loved - lifting this family up may gods tender loving arms wrap around you and hold you

They seem like such a nice family. I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling. Not just with the death of Gabby but the absolute disrespect and disregard for life from Brian and his parents. Gabby's life will always be remembered and her passing will always be meaningful for all women in abusive relationships. It was the step so many needed to see to take the step to get out. So much love for you guys.
Such a beautiful sentiment amidst all the pain they are feeling...so incredibly sad 💔💔💔💔
I love how all the 4 parents stood a United front . I’m praying 🙏 for the family.
How do Brian’s parents conduct their daily living habits, like going to work, grocery shopping, appointments etc without feeling any shame? Human decency would warrant communication with Gabby’s parents immediately after Brian came home alone. The calm and composure both sets of parents are displaying is nothing short of a miracle…praying the families receive the truth sooner than later. God bless Gaby 🦋🦋🦋 and all those who have gone missing.
because theyre narcissists. they dont feel remorse, they dont care. its absolutely heartbreaking.
@@olivia4044 agreed.
They are disgusting humans brian and his parents
Selfishly warped souls who raised a sociopath
Gabby is her father's twin, such a powerful soul gone too soon.
I'm shocked this girl lived in Brian's parents home and they can't even give her parents the respect to speak up about what they know.
I have no doubt they know he's okay. The Father hit the nail on the head. Why are they not reaching out to anyone to help find Brian? I think we all know the answer to that.
When adults act mature and raise a child not as leverage but surrounded by love 💕 they form a unity around and for the child and it is evident here . Such heart break for them all ❤️🩹
Every day I wake up hoping I'll see the headline "Brian Laundrie Captured." So far, hasn't happened but his day is coming! I pray it's soon!! Gabby's family deserves justice ⚖
Me too I check every single day
Me too, my friend got murdered and her ex was on the run for quite a long time so it really reminds me of her.
My heart goes out to their family.
Me too
Same, every single day 😢
Gabby's life and loss was not in vain. She touched hearts around the world, asking them to open and focus on finding missing women of all colors, especially indigenous, black, and trans. She shines brightly with her love for you. My condolences. Your family exudes love and strength, even as you grieve and carry on her light in this world. Hugs.
Please stop making this about case relate to your own agenda. Just say ALL people
This family should be the poster board for what great co-parenting looks like. I wonder if they have thought about running courses or seminars on how to do it properly. Many families struggle with it ♡
They also have admirable self control.. If I was in their situation I can't say I wouldn't be above taking a baseball bat to the windows so that Brian's parents would speak to me.
God bless ♡
And doing it together
Gabby truly had two loving homes. Very sad but they will get justice for her. I pray that they will soon.
@Georgie Eve you are so right👏🏽
No one should be a poster for anything. You have no idea what these people went through prior to divorcing, during their relationship etc. We see what they’re presenting and I’m certain they’ve been coached for tv.
@@SuperSasha1969 what are you talking about? They have all been married to their spouses for 20 years. They are very genuine people and are going through a lot. Did you even hear their interview? Seems like you didn't.

Gabbys family is so beautiful and have such loving hearts. I hope they get the closure they need 🙏❤
Amen Kim , we are thinking of here in G.B XXX
If we're going by with this interview, we can tell that Gabby was raised in such a beautiful, loving, emotionally healthy environment. We can guess she's a girl full of life, kind, understanding, and forgiving.. something that attracts narcissists. Such a terrible combination to have someone entitled to drain the life out of you with someone who is always willing to constantly forgive and give another chance. I mean, being constantly being on and off like her best friend said; maybe it's just me, but that just spells trauma bonding.
Watching this I'm wondering why was she attracted to this abusive man coming from a family which supposedly shown her what healthy love looks like. Girls should be raised to have non-negotiable boundaries & high standards instead of being polite & forgiving because it attracts abusive males.
I have been there for almost the past 2 years. I've finally escaped. I knew what the outcome was already when they were looking for her and sharing the video of her crying in the police car. I felt her heart, because it was my own. Narcissists are pure evil. NPD needs even more awareness. When these demons latch onto you, it's very difficult to get away. Im moving soon to get away from all of it. Victims can escape before it's too late. This story hit me hard. My heart hurts for this family. My mother shares this with me often to remind me what could happen.
To be this composed in a tragedy like this is such a testimony to their characters! Wow. I commend this family.
Praying for this beautiful blended family. I can't imagine what they must be going through, especially since this case is so public. I hope this case ends with the answers this family needs.
This is so heartbreaking. Abuse goes further than just physical abuse, theres also other forms of abuse like emotional, mental, and financial. She seemed like such a sweet girl, sometimes as a woman we fall so inlove that we see past all of those forms of abuse. Brian is such a coward and I hope that they give Gabby the justice that she deserves. Stay safe ladies, lets all learn from Gabbys story. RIP, my condolences go out to her family. I think that this story hit close to home because I am also from Ny, im 22 years old and I am a woman.
Melissa, with so many similarities to Gabby, this almost mirrors your life, minus the abuse(s) hopefully!! I get why you feel so close to this case and I have to say that I agree with you on every turn. There is also verbal abuse as well that can really be just as harmful....such as a word punching you in the heart as apposed to a fist hitting you in the gut. I divorced my ex-husband of almost 16 yrs of marriage because of the sever verbal abuse that bordered physical abuse of which he was starting to show. He graduated to small nudging to bigger stances such as pushing and shoving me around, that's where I drew the line, gathered my kids and left. I was so lucky to get out and feel very blessed to have gotten out, but to get my kids away from this type of behavior also. Be safe and healthy, Melissa and take care!!!
Yep, i barely survived my ex. She abused me physically by exhausting all my energy, she abused me mentally by having to listen to her, she abused me emotionally by not leaving me alone until she could finish abusing me financially.
This family as whole deserves answers. Continued prayers.
To Gabby's family...I'm so sorry this happened. I truly cannot imagine how your feeling.
My heart goes out to you with love and hugs.
To his family
The world is watching you all
If your any sort of true parents your son is a grown man tell him to do the right thing give him up
It really seems like her step parents love her just as much as her birth parents. She was blessed with a beautifully blended family
My heart goes out to the Petito family. Gabby had wonderful parents, and you all are beautiful souls. I pray you get answers and justice will be served soon. Stay strong.
Even through tragedy, this family has such a lovely and beautiful perspective on things. Gabby must have been such a lovely person too
It's really sad how he mentioned feeling okay with her going on the trip because she thoroughly planned it out so well for over a year. Out of all the bad things that could have happened I'm sure something like this never even crossed their minds.
Except maybe the dome of the bald one, meaning the one who probably did the did, not the parents.
@Jen F agreed. If my 22 year old daughter spent 1.5 years planning this trip and was taking her boyfriend/fiance, I would have actually thought, cool, he won't let anything happen to her. It would give me a greater sense of security that she had someone who loved her with her. Who would have ever thought the one person you trusted to protect her would be the one who actually killed her? Omg.. 😭
Gabby is an inspiration and so are her parents. The bond the four of them have is beautiful. You can feel the respect, love and unity… I think that’s why Gabby became such an amazing young woman. The world does know her name, her smile and will forever remember her. She was pure light on earth and still shines. My heart breaks for her, I was in an abusive relationship when I was a year older. It went from verbal, emotional to physical. I got out and I thank God for that one moment of strength when I said “ I’m done!”. It takes quite a while to heal from what you’ve been through and to find your true self again, but it’s worth it. I can’t thank Gabby’s parents enough for bringing this very serious, very real topic to light. It’s been in the dark much to long. God bless the Petito Schmidt family and Gabby, be happy and peaceful in Heaven. 🙏🏻
I agree. These 4 parents have shaped an absoutely wonderful daughter. I was 15-20 and was in a very abusive relationship. It was always about making me feel bad and when we moved in together it got physical. Cheating , abuse mentality verbally and physically. Here we are 9 years later and I made it out and it took everything I could to get away and there’s not alot of people who do get out of an abusive relationship
RIP GABBY. ❤️❤️❤️
I don't understand how the Laundries can live with themselves. How heartless can they be? My heart breaks for Gabby's family. That poor girl. I hope they find him or he grows a pair and comes forward!!!
I hate it, but if there was any chance I could be seen as a party to a crime by child committed in a court of law, I would also listen to my attorney even if I wasn't guilty. You have to be careful in highly public and emotionally charged situations like this. Prosecutors are out for blood. Our society wants a fair justice system, but we get angry when it's fair.
I liked your comment. I'm not against anything you said. I'm just giving another perspective.
She was truly lucky to have FOUR parents that loved her so much
Gabby's story is a warning to all... IF YOU ARE IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, GET OUT. DO NOT IGNORE THE SIGNS.
My heart goes out to Gabbi.... her family... this is very heartbreaking.
Thank you doctor Phil. I’m in tears looking at my baby while they are talking about theirs. These parents loved her so much and ran as a unit which is amazing. Their daughter inspires me and after the hype always will. Unconditional prayers and love to these beautiful people
As my humble opinion, I don’t think Brian is deceased by his own doing. He had 11+ days to do that after he made it home to Florida before vanishing and he didn’t. Brian is running. Brian is hiding.
if he killed himself, his body wouldve turned up, days ago
Indeed. In my opinion he loves himself too much to end his own Life. I even think he really thinks of himself as the victim. there's no regret or empathy.
Of course he is.
Wonder how long he hid his narcissistic traits from Gabby before his true self came out?
@@lorainewhite727 according to psychology data and studies It is approx. 3-6 months before we see a significant other;s true personality traits.
My heart breaks for this family. As a mother of 2 daughters I can’t imagine the pain they’re going through. 🥺
It's the callousness of the Laundrie family that has captivated the world's attention. Everyone wants justice for Gabby Petito and her family and they will get it soon.
