A way to show your kids true love is not letting them be shit

But Brian’s mother is shit. I have a feeling he was shit cause she’s shit

Terrible people almost always owe it to terrible guidance as young kids. 

Pretty safe to say Brian's parents are awful

Agree! Both his parents are but I mentioned the mom more because of her letter and because how emotionally abusive and manipulative she seemed to be, what with how jealous she was that her son was giving Gabby attention etc

And when Gabby complained that his mother was in one of her moods and she was afraid, he brushed that off like, “oh she’s always like that”

Like this is normal mother behavior. And then how she’s joking around with her daughter after Gabby is found dead and I think authorities were looking for Brian and she’s like, “they confuse me with Brian, must be the short and sassy, haha!”….your future daughter in law is dead, your son murdered her, your sons in trouble and you are joking around….

So many wtf moments. I was completely triggered as a mother, and I hate using that word.

Brian's sister was a liar. She claimed she had no idea what was going on because she hadnt been in contact with her parents, clearly a lie, given they're texting each other joking nonchalantly about police mistaking Brian for his mother.

As an aside, wtf is wrong with the law enforcement guarding the scene? How could they let him slip, and how could they confuse him for his mom...
