So "giving BL space" was the answer all the time, because otherwise he would spin out of control? Soothe the beast or he will bite you? Too bad he still died in the swamp after getting some "space" from his parents. And you say Gabby should have learned from his parents to just let him go off on his own instead of "smothering" him? Interesting choice of words since she died of strangulation. Who got smothered more in the end, Gabby or BL? But wait - Gabby did "give him space." He left her in Moab for five days! Was that not enough time and space for him to calm down? Apparently not. He came back, she ended up dead, he took her van and and money and left her there, finally free to put 1000 miles of "space" between them again.
