Young couple goes on van tour of US, boy comes back with van - no girl

I know that to a degree what I’m about to type undercuts my earlier assurance that I’m not victim blaming. And, I’m well aware that everyone handles grief in their own weird way. I fully expect if something strange happened to my wife - selfishly, the most important person in the world to me — I’d be super judged due to my lack of outward emotion. But I can guarantee you one thing — I ain’t going on TV with that blood sucker Dr. Phil.

So yeah, I’m quite a bit judgey about that move.
I was raised by a man who joked like that all the time. He's in hospice. I don't care. I'm leaning toward not even going to the funeral.

This man strikes me as very similar. More than likely Brian is Gabby's father figure. Controlling rage-aholic with dangerous tendencies and no concern for how he hurts others.
