I can’t help but feel a deep sense of empathy for these individuals as I watch their stories unfold. Each one of them has experienced heartache and disappointment in their relationships, and it’s clear that they are all trying to find happiness and fulfillment in their own unique ways.
Madison Brush is shedding light on the financial lives of the Sister Wives.
As one of the daughters born to matriarch Kody Brown and his former partner, Janelle Brown (who along with Christine Brown and Meri Brown parted ways with Kody within the last four years), I’ve shared insights into our family’s financial dynamics before the TLC series began airing in 2010.
Prior to the performance, Madison shared during a recent episode of ‘The Authentic Society’ podcast, our financial situation was quite challenging as we were many in the family despite my father earning a reasonable income.
As a mother of three – Axel (7), Evie (5), and sweet little Josephine (22 months) – I find myself in the unique position of reflecting on my current financial status, comparing it to the circumstances I encountered during my childhood years. This comparison provides me with a deeper understanding of our family’s growth and progress over time, all alongside my loving partner, Caleb Brush.
Madison went on to say that her father often pursued quick-profit strategies, which were quite unusual for Caleb. She recalled sharing business concepts with him, only to have him respond negatively.
In my professional opinion, it’s essential to shed light on an intriguing aspect of Kody’s past. He’s a man currently gracing our screens in season 19, still married to Robyn Brown. Interestingly, before he reached the limelight, Kody was a salesman for signage, and he occasionally dabbled in investments with people.
Madison shared that when we’d receive our tax refunds as kids, her parents would quickly spend it on something, while Caleb’s family, who were well-educated and didn’t have the same opportunity, chose to save whatever pennies they could.
In addition to reconsidering her financial situation, Madison has also had to take a hard look at the relationships she maintains in her life.
She revealed during the November 11th episode of her “The Authentic Society” podcast that she’s cut off contact with some of her family due to past events. She explained that Kody lacks respect for boundaries and insists on his rules, which she is unwilling to adhere to.
Maddie clarified, ‘My father used to become quite upset whenever I’d do something, and he described me as straightforward.’ One of the factors that led me to cut ties was because it felt like he didn’t appreciate having a reflection of himself.
Read on to see more recent revelations from the Sister Wives cast.
Kody Brown expressed his intention to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as Meri explained during the premiere on September 15, Kody had given her the impression that he would work on their issues by saying, “Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a good time for us to start anew.” This, she noted, was a recurring pattern in their relationship, with Kody often leading her to believe things would change, only for him to continue the same behavior over many years.
As a passionate admirer, I must confess my frustration stems from his reluctance to share openly about his feelings, desires, and even dislikes. Over the years, I’ve found myself questioning the narrative he’s been spinning, yearning for a more authentic account of his experiences.
Kody admitted there could have been some conflicting signals, but as he began working on projects, he found himself questioning the situation, saying, “I wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her now.” He clarified his stance.
Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023.
She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re here for you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now realizes that he had been encouraging her to leave him for years by claiming he didn’t love her, “As if, if I could be made to depart and I do, then he’s not the villain because he didn’t walk away.
After several years since the family acquired a 14-acre plot in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for construction, Kody admitted during the season opener that he was prepared to allow the dream to fade away. Since they hadn’t paid off the entire $820,000 cost (which reports suggest was paid in 2023), he expressed this sentiment to his remaining wife, Robyn Brown: “I’d almost prefer we either abandon it or sell it and then begin anew somewhere else.
As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”
Earlier on, Janelle Brown shared with TopMob News that the relationship began to fray due to growing apart. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards certain children that ultimately led her to make the decision to depart.
In simpler terms, the mom expressed to Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown that a significant turning point for her was when his relationship with her children deteriorated, and it seemed as if he wasn’t making an all-out effort to mend it. She added that this was the factor that had been keeping her in the situation until then.
In the November 3rd episode, it was unequivocal that Kody’s suggestion of reconciliation was not up for discussion from Janelle’s perspective.
She stated that finding a way to reconnect with him while ensuring he doesn’t form a relationship with her children is something she can’t imagine doing. Instead, she has decided to prioritize her children above all else.
Kody provided a reason for why he wasn’t putting more effort into repairing the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids.
In the September 15th episode, he expressed feelings of not belonging to the family anymore. Despite being fully married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he also mentioned having a less frequent relationship with some of the other kids. He seemed confused about how to handle this complex situation, expressing that it didn’t feel like a family to him.
In the season 19 premiere, Robyn admitted that their marriage was experiencing its most challenging period yet, despite it being the first time they were genuinely monogamous after 14 years. She explained that things had been difficult between them, and Kody was unsure whether to blame himself or one of his other wives for the strain. He seems to be feeling a great deal of rejection, which has led him to wonder if Robyn might reject him too.
Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m always alert. It’s constant work to ensure he isn’t undermining our relationship.” In her own words, the most challenging aspect is: “There’s no guidance on how to deal with the fact that I’m married to a man who’s getting divorced multiple times.
Meanwhile, Kody found himself grappling with self-doubt, voicing, “I just can’t bring myself to tell my reflection, ‘Hi there, buddy. I adore you.’
In the October 27th episode, Robyn observed that her ex-sister wives were transitioning into a new phase of life. She commented, “Everyone seems to be moving forward,” adding, “It feels like I’m the one who was left standing still.
Include Madison, the eldest child of Janelle, in the list of children who are currently not in a relationship with Kody. As Janelle shared during the premiere, “I know that Maddie hasn’t spoken to her dad recently.” She further explained, “There have been no calls between them, and she doesn’t have any current relationship with either him or Robin. In essence, she has distanced herself from both of them.
What Janelle pointed out is that Kody seems to be maintaining a less-than-committed relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed that he should only have contact if he’s willing to fully commit to it.
Consequently, during the September 22 episode, Kody effectively ended conversations with Maddie and her spouse Caleb Brush, who is linked to Kody’s brother through marriage, as the family unit began to disintegrate significantly.
Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as stated by Janelle. She feels that until he can reliably appear without causing a fuss, it might be best for everyone if they remain unaware of his presence.
Meanwhile, Robyn suggested that Kody should try to repair their relationship, adding, “I believe it’s also important for the children to make an effort in this direction as well.
Currently, I find myself not quite prepared to mend the divide, as I’ve grown weary of our conversations often turning into a source of gossip.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, “He hinted that he never truly loved me and felt like our marriage was more of an obligation,” Meri confided in her friend Brandi during the September 15th broadcast. “To which I responded, ‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I know you did love me.’
And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose?
As a lifestyle advisor, I often ponder about this question: Why would a young man decide to marry a woman, claiming to love her when in truth, he doesn’t? It seems harsh and unjust, like singling someone out among many others and saying, “I choose you, hoping to mold my feelings for the next three decades.” Isn’t it more honest and compassionate to seek out a partnership where genuine affection exists from the start?
In his personal reflection, Kody mentioned that Meri is making some allegations. He’s okay with her saying what she wishes, and he won’t be addressing them directly.
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
He firmly stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was in trouble from the very start. He explained this because he had a much stronger bond with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
Looking back, I realize now that I should have ended that long-term relationship a quarter of a century ago. However, I chose to remain due to my apprehensions about the potential consequences, as I was led to believe that leaving multiple partners might be seen as an indiscretion by those in leadership positions.
Although Janelle was unsure whether she would develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, she acknowledged that the first step involved settling the Arizona property debt. Since Kody refused to discuss the matter with her, she admitted to Christine Brown on September 22 that “it seems I’ll need a lawyer” as she believed that was the only way she could possibly get any resolution from him.
Janelle admitted that, since she and Kody aren’t legally married, she has no basis for making any kind of claim on his property. In her own words, “It’s not as simple as calling a lawyer to file for divorce. The complication lies in the fact that there isn’t a legal marriage.
Kody explained that he had stopped communicating with Janelle regarding the Arizona property because he no longer felt confident in her trustworthiness.
He asserted during the September 22 episode that we will settle the property when it is necessary, and he prefers to keep his actions and plans confidential since he’s grown weary of sharing details that get circulated by the rumor mill in our fractured family.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She mentioned that he shares information about his personal life as if he has no secrets, especially details about previous relationships and spouses which she found inappropriate to know.
In a time when the family’s love continued to grow rather than diminish, they would combine their funds together in a common container.
In simpler terms, Janelle said during the September 22 episode that we would pool all our resources to aid one person, and then collectively lend support to another. This was how things were done for quite some time, until around the last decade when the focus shifted from communal well-being to personal estates, with everyone suddenly needing their own.
When I, as a lifestyle expert, found myself seeking a new home in Arizona, my dear friends and family generously pooled resources to purchase a stunning five-bedroom property worth approximately $1.65 million. Remarkably, this luxurious residence went up for sale just last August.
Initially, Robyn mentioned that purchasing the property would benefit the family. However, when Janelle proposed that everyone add their names to the mortgage, she was met with opposition. Kody stated, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s inheritance,” as recalled by Janelle. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass profits and also recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.
But that could be a tough sell.
Robyn remarked, “After all the time we spent working together, it’s perplexing to me. When Janelle mentions she’s owed money from them, it leaves me wondering: How is this calculated? How does one determine that?” It’s a puzzling situation, indeed.
Janelle criticized Kody, stating he mentioned having numerous other financial obligations, but she’s observed him purchasing trailers and home decorations. “I notice all the artwork on their walls,” she commented about Robyn and Kody’s residence. “I see all these items. And that’s okay, I’ve spent money on things as well.” In his defense, Kody argued that a significant portion of his funds were used for car purchases—”Basically, I had a collection”—and children’s insurance expenses.
Although Janelle admitted she wasn’t aware of Kody and Robyn’s financial management, she often found herself amazed by the beauty and completeness of Robyn’s backyard. It always looked finished, and there was always an abundance of items at her house. Her reaction was usually something along the lines of, ‘Wow, really? That’s impressive.’
Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t give importance to her needs or desires, which became a significant problem over time. Eventually, she acknowledged this, and even her grown-up kids were growing frustrated, questioning, “What on earth, Mom?
From my perspective, I became quite meticulous with my finances following the dissolution of my first marriage.
She confessed during the September 22 episode that she hadn’t been very good with managing money in the past. Growing up, she faced numerous challenges and learned valuable budgeting skills during her divorce. Speaking about her fellow sister wives, she noted that perhaps their priorities for spending money were different from hers.
Currently, as was stated during the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that she and Meri, Robyn, or Kody, who are parents to Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown respectively, rarely connect with them in a significant way. She does not anticipate this situation to change significantly in the near future.
Speaking fondly about their time on a single cul-de-sac in Las Vegas, Kody reminisced, “It was the best period of my life. Things just seemed to flow effortlessly, with Maddie and Caleb nearby, and it was truly wonderful having them close. I deeply cared for Caleb; he felt like a part of the family.
In Arizona, disagreements arose regarding coronavirus safety measures, causing a breakdown of order. Subsequently, as his marriages dissolved, he noted that the connection with his children deteriorated too, stating, “This caused all our relationships to turn bitter.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
She stated during the September 22 episode, “The kids who felt frustrated were already feeling that way before I departed.” This suggests that her departure did not alter the dynamics between their father and the children, implying that Kody has the ability to repair his relationships with his own children.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody clarified, “I’ve been deeply hurt by how I’ve been treated, and it’s left me unable to move on from it yet. The issue is, I can’t accept responsibility for actions that my wife or ex-wife insists I’m accountable for. I long for the day when this resentment fades, so we can find understanding, forgiveness, and love once more.
At the age of 21 and 19, Kody admitted that he and Meri had not been particularly well-acquainted when they got married, both spiritually and legally. Over time, they later filed for divorce in 2014, so Kody could officially adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from a previous marriage.
Initially, when we got married, she seemed quite different to me, and now I realize there were some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. At first, I thought I could deal with it, but as time went on, everything turned into arguments. To be honest, I can no longer tolerate living in a world where she is frequently angry with me.
As an ardent admirer, I find myself compelled to share a personal revelation: Kody, being in a plural marriage, declared that he couldn’t seek a divorce if he wished to remain faithful and committed to the faith. The rule didn’t allow for it. Consequently, I was trapped within that relationship, yearning not for an escape, but for a chance to mend and salvage it. I sought answers: could our bond be repaired? Could we find a way back to each other?
As a result of the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were in each other’s company, Kody stated, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be intrigued by her, but I’m growing tired.
To be fair, he added, he could see why Meri felt abandoned, “But I didn’t kick me out. Christine, Janelle and Meri all chose to have me leave the home.”
Even though Janelle and Christine hadn’t legally married Kody, they didn’t see the need for a divorce; however, in late 2022, Meri petitioned their church for an official separation, which is referred to as a “release.
In the latest episode on September 22nd, I clarified that when my four friends and I tied the knot with Kody, it was through our church. Technically, we couldn’t all be legally married, but we referred to it as a covenant. Given that we aren’t proceeding with any further marital commitments and I don’t wish for an eternal bond if he doesn’t feel the same, I believe it’s best to dissolve this covenant completely. Essentially, I’m at a point where I want a clean break.
Kody hesitated about the concept, she mentioned, as she didn’t wish to recognize or submit to the power held by the religious leaders.
Kody clarified his position, stating that the harm was so extensive that reconciliation is no longer an option. He went on to say that he doesn’t want to answer to this church or its complexities when it comes to accountability, as he feels it’s better to let Meri make her own choices. He explained further that if he held a grudge against her, it would lead to arguments. So, he wants Meri to move on and live her life because, for him, it seems like the situation has been resolved for years.
2021’s holiday gift exchange conversation took an unpleasant turn for the 18 Brown children as Christine described it: “Things fell apart, things went wrong.” Kody and Robyn, along with their offspring, formed one group who had no interest in Janelle, me, or our kids. This text conversation resulted in a division within the family that occurred afterwards.
Robyn expressed that her older children found the interaction “uncomfortable emotionally” and felt it necessary to distance themselves from their relationship for a while. However, she clarified that this didn’t mean they wanted to cut off contact completely, saying, “It wasn’t about ‘We never want to see you again, we have no interest in you,’ but more like, ‘Oops, things got messy.’
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
He admitted during the October 13th episode that what he desires most is to rebuild a connection with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he often reached out to Dayton. However, he expressed that he isn’t optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.
In my own words, I’ve been informed by various situations and individuals on numerous occasions that I wasn’t welcomed as a part of the family when my mother married Kody in 2010. They made it clear that I was not their sister, and they didn’t recognize or perceive me in that role.
Her sister Breanna expressed that the parents might not have effectively fostered family bonding, and this connection never truly materialized.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that as follows: “My family and I are always welcome to join any event, and the invitation is extended for anyone to drop by our home whenever it suits them.
Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, to the extent that Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for a while. She explained, “There were challenging periods, and my children felt exasperated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s children as siblings without any distinction.
In her enthusiastic description, Janelle expressed that plural marriage offers a unique family structure where she feels deeply connected to a vibrant community. She shares a strong bond with her husband and enjoys the benefits of their relationship, yet retains her independence as well. In essence, she finds this type of arrangement to be extremely advantageous for her.
Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.
In his view during the Dec. 1 broadcast, monogamous relationships foster emotional intimacy better because polygamy tends to create defensiveness. He personally seeks a deeply emotional and intimate bond with a woman, which he finds difficult to achieve within the framework of polygamy.
According to Janelle, Kody found it harder to share his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.
On the September 29th episode, it was noted that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it more convenient to be apart from us. Occasionally, I had to remind him to visit me at my home. He’d often make excuses about being tired, so I’d say, “You can rest just as much here as you would at Robyn’s.” This suggests that Kody seemed to prefer spending time at Robyn’s place but was reminded of his commitment to visit us.
Janelle asserted that her children felt distinct from Robyn because they were reprimanded if they dared to open her refrigerator. On the other hand, Christine’s kids perceived the separation due to observing that Robyn was their father’s partner and he wasn’t present in their household.
And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.
She expressed that while Meri welcomed us warmly, the rest of her family found it difficult to accept my children and me. Essentially, our wish was to become a part of their family, as stated on the September 29 episode.
However, Gabriel might contend that he and his kin made significant efforts to include them in their circle.
In the October 13th episode, he expressed his viewpoint: “Robyn seems to have a victim mentality,” he put it frankly. To clarify, I’m not casting blame on her, but rather acknowledging that people employ various methods to stay resilient, and this is just one of them.
Yet, he went on to say, “If it is truly her conviction that we were unfairly treating her or her children while she was frequently favored by Dad and we were diligently working on our bond with her kids, if she genuinely holds this belief, then it’s impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Robyn in the future.
During a recent broadcast on September 29th, Kody described how the frequent moving between four households impacted his 18 children. He recounted an instance when his and Robyn’s youngest daughter, Ariella (born in January 2016), became distressed as he attempted to depart, holding tightly onto his leg.
In simpler terms, Kody said, “I had to tell her, ‘I have another wife and children who require my attention,’ which was met with her crying out, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t leave me.’ It’s tough for me to deal with this situation.
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
Initially, she shared, her children had understood that their father wouldn’t always be present due to his frequent absences. It seemed to her that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He was unable to stay away for more than three or four days as Ari would become very upset. To me, it appeared that this was not responsible parenting. However, through the family’s history, the other children had managed similar circumstances without any apparent long-term issues; they are now well-adjusted adults.
Among the rare young individuals with ties to all three – Robyn, Kody, and also their sister wives Christine and Janelle, whose daughter Mykelti often served as a mediator during Kody’s divorce proceedings.
Since the day Robyn joined the Brown clan, I’ve felt a special connection with her. In fact, I was honored when she accepted my invitation to be present at the birth of my twins, Archer and Ace, in November 2022.
During the September 29th episode, Mykelti expressed that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to understand myself. She made me feel valued and understood, which were feelings I desperately needed at the time. Robyn was a source of support for me during challenging times. When I needed someone to listen, to care for me, she was there.
Christine’s mother was overjoyed beyond words. As Robyn joined the family and it became clear she and Mykelti shared a wonderful bond, Christine expressed her feelings on the Oct. 6 episode. “Ever since I dreamt of having a multi-parent household,” she said, “I had always hoped that my children would develop strong relationships with other mothers, just like this.
Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are excluding him from their lives; he thinks they’re intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he didn’t commit, according to his perspective on his estrangement from some of his older children. Essentially, he feels innocent of the offense and only guilty of not deeply loving their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
He explained that the strain in his relationships with his kids is largely due to negative comments about him. Essentially, he feels that the dissolution of the family has created a storm of disappointment, and in turn, people seem to be attributing the problems to him, implying that he was at fault.
Although he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to the derogatory comments. Notably, he admitted that he was having difficulties bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Kody disclosed that one of his children replied to a text by saying, “You are worthless. I would never talk to you again anyway.
In another occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You are such a jerk. I’ll never speak to you again. You deceived me and indoctrinated me.’
He’s unwilling to continue handling the toxic situation, as he stated, “I won’t keep reaching out indefinitely.” He believes it’s his elders’ responsibility to rectify the issues at hand. However, he’s prepared to take action, but he expects others to contribute effort as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
As a kid, my world shattered when my parents split up, a fact I shared during the Oct. 6 broadcast. He resided in another city with a different wife, leaving my mom all by herself. I recall boldly questioning him about his absence, asking, “What gave? Why weren’t you there for me?” His responses were nothing but weak justifications for not being around when I needed him most, and it was truly disheartening.
Instead of letting Kody’s hurt feelings hinder his actions, it was clear that she wasn’t going to back down from making an effort. In a heated discussion, recorded towards the end of 2022, she expressed her struggle not to lose a bit of respect for him by saying, “I find it difficult not to feel like I might be losing some respect for you.
Despite recognizing that he could exert more effort to repair his bond with his children, Kody admitted that he feels the need to heal his own heart initially.
He admitted that some of his children seem to be ganging up on him, and he explained, “I’m so upset about the situation that whenever I speak to my kids, I fear they might accuse me which could further inflame me. At the moment, I’m too emotional. I might only end up causing more harm.
Although most of the family was present at the wedding of Logan and Michelle Petty, who tied the knot with Janelle and Kody’s eldest son in October 2022, their affection seemed to be lacking.
In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison whisking her children away from him. He mentioned that his daughter hadn’t shared with him the news of her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. Essentially, he was saying that she didn’t inform him about being pregnant.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
In simpler terms, Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody because of her strong protective instincts towards her children. Kody hasn’t been around since Evie was born over three and a half years ago, and Maddie didn’t want him to show up unexpectedly at the wedding and claim to be their grandfather, causing confusion among the kids about his identity.
Kody expresses that it’s impractical for grandparents to be constantly involved in their grandchildren’s lives, given the circumstances such as moving one’s family across the country to places like North Carolina, where Maddie resides. He clarifies that he has professional commitments and personal life in Flagstaff, making frequent involvement challenging.
It’s evident that Kody and his grown children hold contrasting opinions regarding their current rift, and a key issue seems to be Kody insisting on an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from them.
Following the easing of COVID-related restrictions, I found myself grappling with family dynamics rather than resuming our usual routines. Specifically, my sons seemed to have a lingering issue with Kody that required resolution, particularly regarding their relationship with Robyn. As I reflected on the situation, it became clear to me that they needed to engage in a heart-to-heart conversation with me about their feelings and actions.
In Janelle’s words, Kody was upset because he believed his children hadn’t remained faithful to him, and moreover, the most cherished member of their family had been disregarded or treated unfairly. She expressed this by saying, “And I’m like, ‘Whatever Kody. Yeah, whatever.'” In simpler terms, she was essentially saying that she found his reaction unimportant.
Gabriel echoed a similar perspective, narrating his dialogue with his father. “He persistently framed it as if an apology was owed from me,” he told Janelle. “At last, I said, ‘Unless you’re genuinely ready to rebuild our relationship and address issues, we won’t converse anymore.’ A few days later, he reached out via text, saying, ‘Hey, I’ve been reflecting on your words. I forgive you, Please accept my forgiveness.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what?’
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, only their youngest, Savanah, sees him on a regular basis. Although it’s not very often, he usually calls every couple of months to spend time together. The other children don’t seem to have much contact or relationship with him.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she believes that her four elder brothers have assumed a paternal role in her life. In fact, she has shared with Janelle that she might ask her siblings to escort her during her future wedding.
Janelle shared, “I’ve discussed it with Savanah and she said something like, ‘You see, I’ve come to understand that this is the kind of man he is.’ She described him as a father who will occasionally join us for fun and then leave again. She’s willing to accept him as he is. It’s all right.
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
Indeed, I find myself deeply disheartened about Kody’s situation. You see, from my personal experience, I’ve witnessed numerous instances where, after a divorce, the father tends to disappear from the children’s lives. I have worked alongside several women over the years who have gone through this very predicament.
Initially, when the tension arose between them, Gabriel found it particularly difficult as Kody often included Gabriel in his work travels, a practice that Janelle noted as a clear demonstration of Kody’s active and involved fatherhood – right up until more recent times.
Although Gabriel is puzzled about what might have upset his father, he asserted during the Oct. 13 episode: “I told Dad that if he doesn’t alter and can’t accept responsibility, then I simply won’t meet him anymore. And I’m completely fine with that.
According to Janelle, he seems content with his father not being a part of his life. In fact, that’s the situation I wish for all my children, and it appears they are all heading in that direction.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed his regret for how Gabriel seems, having made several attempts to connect with him but unfortunately, those efforts were not reciprocated, which is not due to any lack of effort on my side.
As one of Kody’s devoted wives, I was the one who took the final step out of our union towards the end of last year, following the church’s terminology, I obtained a “release.” This legal action was prompted by his abandonment of our shared love and commitment.
On the October 13th episode, she pointed out that he dislikes that particular word since he feels he hasn’t left her, while she perceives it differently and believes he has.
To put it simply, she believes he paid little attention to her until she decided to depart, at which point he could claim, “I have no part in this.
And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.
He admitted that he had already moved on a while back. However, he confessed his fear of her reaction if he revealed the truth. You see, Meri was not faithful to him, and that was what worried him most. It’s about her character because when a divorce happens, one’s reputation can suffer.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
She expressed her disappointment, stating, “It’s truly disheartening how Kody is discussing our marriage in such a manner.” It seems as though his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the claims he makes about me to others that people are accepting don’t align with reality.
Prior to Christina parting ways with Kody, it became apparent that they were not compatible according to the paperwork, due to an activity suggested by their marriage counselor based in Las Vegas.
In my quest to outline the traits I desired in a partner, I penned down characteristics such as effective communication, consistent presence in our lives, and genuine attraction towards me. Unfortunately, Kody fell short on all counts, as he confessed during the October 20th episode, “He admitted that he didn’t fit any of the qualities I had listed.” I shared the list with him, only to hear, “I don’t possess those traits for you,” which was painfully accurate.
The letter played a significant role in helping her realize swiftly that David Woolley was indeed her match.
