Gabby Petito’s mom shares cryptic message on raising boys as she faces court battle with parents of daughter’s killer
GABBY Petito's grieving mom shared a cryptic message regarding raising boys ahead of her court battle with Brian Laundrie's parents.
Nichole Schmidt shared a poignant poem encouraging people to nurture their son's in an apparent dig at the family of her daughter's killer.
She is gearing up for a court showdown with Christopher and Roberta Laundrie after filing a lawsuit against the couple.
The mum claims they knew their son Brian had killed Gabby before she was found dead on September 19, 2021.
The Laundrie's motion to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit was denied by a judge and will now proceed to trial in front of a jury.
And as she prepares to face the duo after accusing them of deliberately withholding information, Nichole urged "boy moms" to take heed of the touching cautionary tale.

The poem entitled "Love Your Sons Or Hate Men" was originally written by Dior Bingley as a word of warning for parents.
It read: "I walked into Starbucks behind a mother and her (3) sons. My Goodness these boys were so handsome, so kind towards each other.
"I was blessed by witnessing them. When I sat down I turned to the mom smiled and said, 'Omg you have 3 boys. Wow!'
"Her response... It struck me like a bolt of lightning. And while staring directly at her eldest age 11 or so [she said], 'Yes, and then they grow up to be stinky men.'

"I was shocked. My eyes shot open and I said, "No, no amazing men."
"When it was time to gather my drink I said goodbye to the baristas and the women sitting there and smiled at the boys.
"And I carried a sting as I walked out the door. I will die on this hill.
"You CANNOT Love your sons if you have even an inkling of disdain for men. And your unwillingness to see correct AND shift this will produce the exact thing you've spoken life into..."
Alongside the moving message, Nichole wrote: ";Yassss! All of this #BoyMom #teachkindness #loveunconditional #givelove".
The devastated mother was given false hope and further emotional distress at the hands of the Laundrie's, Petito's lawyer, Patrick Reilly, argued in court.
The post also comes shortly after Brian Laundrie's shocking notebook entries were made public.
LEGAL BATTLE WITH THE LAUNDRIES
Laundrie insisted in the journal that he took his girlfriend Gabby Petito's life because she had an injury and refused to let him get help, which has been questioned by those following the case.
He claimed the murder was "merciful" as she was in agonizing pain from the unspecified injury after allegedly falling in a creek.
"I don't know the extent of 's injuries, only that she was in extreme pain," scrawled the 23-year-old.
"I ended her life. I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock
"From the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on without her," Brian added.
He also alluded to seeing his family after killing the young vlogger, and asked the public not to "make life harder for his family."
Gabby's remains were discovered in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on September 21, 2021, several weeks after she was reported missing.
