It’s entirely too common for the abused party to be “hysterical” when police arrive and for the abuser to be calm and appear more rational. They’re manipulative, police need better domestic violence training to see through the bullshit #GabbyPetito
#GABBYPETITO
It concerns me that 2 police departments were called because of reports of an altercation between Brian and Gabby and then did nothing to help her. Often, the victim of domestic abuse looks crazed and out of control while the abuser remains calm and "normal".
proof that brian laundrie isn’t a victim and gabby petito is - he is calm, laughing, called her crazy. she is crying, shaking, apologizing, fearful, defending him. there needs to be more education around domestic violent situations!! #gabbypetitio
TW: abuse
If the handling of the Gabby Petito case haunts you, keep in mind that it is this same pain that so many families are forced to endure as 1 in 3 murders of women are committed by their partner, averaging 3 deaths/day in the US, while 60% of abuse cases never see trial.
@dadmann_walking Ugh, I have one in 2 days at 8:15pm. Who the hell was I thinking I'd be not braless, in my pj's and 3 glasses of wine deep already?! And don't ask why they are open that late but it was that or wait 4 mo the for the next opening.
Gaslighting is not when someone doesn't agree with your perspective or doesn't care about hurting you, it's when someone is manipulating you into questioning your sanity and memory, in order to get control over you and a situation. It is abuse.
@KelseyJSutton I have a toddler (almost 3) & a 12 year old (almost 13). I really f*ckdd myself over bc toddlers suck and preteen hormonal boys suck 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 I love them like crazy but I may be am alcoholic by the Christmas time.

@KelseyJSutton Keep striving amd pushing forward. I know I definitely will from now on! Also, love your books (reading one now!!) And as an aspiring author, you're an inspiration! Also, fellow Minnesotan here!! :)
@KelseyJSutton Girl, you're rocking it. I turn 37 in just 2 days & I just moved back in with my parents with my 2 young kids. I have a part time job, no car, and no idea what my future holds, but I left an abusive relationship. So I'm better today than yesterday. And that's all we can hope for
