[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that it is unfair to blame Gabby’s family for not assisting her w/her troubled relationship issues.

She was twenty-two years old &gt; definitely old enough to make her own, independent decisions on the trajectory of her life.
Plus it doesn’t appear that anyone in Gabby’s family even knew of what a monster her fiancé was.

Ideally Gabby should have left Brian in Utah after he was situated in his hotel room.
She should have taken her van & just got the HE🏒🏒 away from that loser.

But love (especially young love) is so blind + I just feel it is so unfair to hold her family responsible for her tragic fate.
I am sure that they likely are dealing w/so many mixed emotions every single second. 😢[/quote]

But financially and living situation wise, they both lived with his parents. Did she have access to her own accounts to pay for what she would need without him? Are they tied to his?[/quote]

My theory:

-Her parents weren’t thrilled with her moving to FL with this loser and his family, and they cut her off.

-She felt trapped and stuck, which is why she tolerated his abuse.

-Had she felt like she could just go back home, she would have called her parents and asked for help (a flight, money, whatever).

I hope every parent uses this as a teachable moment for their daughters to get away fast at the first sign of anger, abuse or control.

I cannot imagine staying with an abuser. It’s just not in me to tolerate. I think we need research into why some people stay, and we need to proactively teach kids from an early age not to tolerate it. [/quote]
