Christine Brown’s Nightmares of Kody: Can’t Escape His Memory

In reality, Christine Brown might have parted ways with her former spouse Kody Brown, but he remains deeply etched in her thoughts.

During their trip from Arizona to Janelle Brown’s new residence in North Carolina, Sister Wives star Christine openly shared that she continues to carry the emotional burden of her previous marriage’s hardships.

In simpler terms, Christine shared with Janelle during their conversation on the TLC series (Feb 2 episode) that she often has dreams and nightmares, varying types of them, which involve the two of them living together under one roof again. She added that these dreams occasionally leave her feeling quite anxious when she awakens.

She expressed confusion saying, “I find myself wondering, ‘Where is David? What part does he play here? I’m married to Kody once more, but I can’t fathom how this is possible.’

The 52-year-old individual, who has children named Aspyn (30), Mykelti (28), Paedon (26), Gwendlyn (23), Ysabel (21), and Truely (14) with an ex-partner, disclosed that the “disturbing nightmares” started following their 27-year-long spiritual union’s dissolution.

From time to time, I have dreams where he’s with me,” she conceded in a private moment. “It’s tough. I don’t yearn for the past. When people ask, ‘Would you go through it all again?’ I simply don’t answer because I choose to move forward.” She emphasizes, “I’m just choosing to move on.

For Christine and Janelle, who currently live in Utah with their spouse, change has been a recurring theme. Having decided to part ways permanently with Arizona, it seemed appropriate for them to depart without any mementos of their past lives behind.

How did they accomplish that? By visiting the Plotz Plot, a place where individuals preparing for significant life changes often stop before making the transition. As Janelle described, the concept behind Plotz Plot is to symbolize your old life by leaving an item there, and then literally walk away from it and leave it behind.

Christine opted to take a dream catcher with her to the vividly-orange shipping container located smack in the heart of the Southwestern desert. She remarked, “Perhaps it alters your dreams, swapping one dream for another.

Together with David and Truley, who joined them on their journey to the East Coast, the pair paused outside their destination for a brief moment of contemplation. In her hands was a dream catcher she had purchased during their time living in Flagstaff, which she then explained its significance to Christine.

As a devoted admirer, allow me to share my personal revelation: It’s a twofold journey for me. Firstly, I must bid farewell to Flagstaff, as the memories there are still too heavy, a truth I cannot hide. Secondly, it’s about moving on from our once cherished dreams of polygamy. Yet, it’s not just about leaving the past behind, but embracing new aspirations that I find more captivating than ever before.

To uncover further confessions from Christine, Kody, and other “Sister Wives” this season, continue your reading journey.

Kody Brown expressed his intention to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as shared during the premiere on September 15, Kody had given her the impression that he would address their issues by saying things like, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a fresh start for us.” This was a reference to their move in 2018. Meri went on to say, “He led me to believe those things, just as he has done for many years.

She expressed her primary concern as his poor communication, specifically about his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, along with the narrative he’s been presenting throughout their relationship.

Kody admitted there might have been some confusing signals, but when he began working on different tasks, he found himself questioning the situation. He clarified that he wouldn’t pursue a romantic relationship with her at present.

Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023. 

In a candid moment, she admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re here for you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” revealing her newfound perspective. Previously wearing blinders, she now believes that for years he had been subtly encouraging her to depart by asserting that he didn’t care for her deeply, “Because if I walk away when he doesn’t, he appears innocent because he didn’t leave first.

Following several years since the family acquired a 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for building, Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was prepared to watch the dream fade away. Due to the necessity of paying off the entire $820,000 cost before construction could commence (a debt reportedly settled in 2023), he expressed this sentiment to his remaining wife, Robyn Brown: “I’d almost prefer to 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.”

Initially, Janelle Brown mentioned to TopMob News that they were gradually drifting apart. However, it was primarily Kody’s shortcomings in his role as a parent to some of their children that eventually led to her decision to depart.

The turning point for me was when his relationship with my kids fell apart and he didn’t seem determined enough to mend it. At that moment, I realized that was what was keeping me tied down here.

In the Nov. 3 episode, I found myself expressing the thought of reconciliation, but for Janelle, it was a firm “no” on the table. As a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned that every relationship is unique and requires understanding, patience, and mutual agreement to move forward.

She stated, “It seems impossible for me to rebuild our relationship in a way that he wouldn’t be excluded from spending time with my children.” Her decision is clear: she will prioritize her kids.

Kody’s reason for not exerting more effort to heal the strained relationships with some of his grown-up kids was what he shared in that instance.

In the episode that aired on September 15, he expressed his feelings, saying, “I no longer seem to belong in our family.” Despite being legally married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he further explained, “I also maintain some connections with a few other children but they’re not frequent. It leaves me wondering, what am I supposed to do with all of this? It doesn’t feel like a family.

In their 14-year long marriage, Robyn admitted during the season 19 premiere that they’re experiencing the most strife they’ve ever faced. She explained it’s been a challenging time for them, and Kody is uncertain about who to blame – himself or one of the other wives. Kody seems to be feeling a lot of rejection, leading him to question whether Robyn will also reject him.

In my fervor, I confessed, “I’m constantly on edge, always double-checking to ensure he isn’t undermining our bond.” The most challenging aspect, I explained, “Is finding support when I’m still married to a man who seems to be going through multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody struggled with self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to face my reflection and say, ‘Hi there, pal. I adore you.’

In the October 27th episode, Robyn found it hard to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest phase. As she put it, “They’re all progressing, and I can’t help but feel like the one who was left behind.

Include Madison, the eldest child of Janelle, in the group of kids who aren’t currently maintaining a connection with Kody. According to Janelle’s statement during the premiere, “Maddie has not engaged in any discussions with her father,” and neither have they contacted each other. Consequently, there is no relationship between Maddie and Kody, as well as Robin. Essentially, she has distanced herself from both of them.

As I follow closely, the matter at hand revolves around Kody not fully engaging in a relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. To put it simply, Janelle expressed that Kody should only have contact if he is willing to make a firm commitment towards it.

In the September 22 broadcast, Janelle revealed that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to significantly fall apart.

Without Kody being present or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as Janelle put it. She feels that until he can reliably appear without causing a fuss, it might be best for everyone if they keep his existence less known.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to make amends, and she suggested, “I believe it would also be beneficial if the children took similar steps as well.

Currently, it appears Kody isn’t keen on mending the divide between us. He often complains that our conversations feel more like fishing for gossip, leaving me exhausted by it.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that Kody had been hinting he never truly loved her and felt compelled to marry her. Meri recalled telling Kody, “Kody, I know you cared for me.

And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose? 

She pondered, “Why would a bachelor, encountering a spinster, decide to marry her without already feeling love for her? Isn’t it harsh? To select one from many and say, ‘I have chosen you, hoping I can compel myself to fall in love with you over the next three decades’?

In a private conversation, Kody mentioned: “Well, Meri is making some allegations. She can say what she pleases, I’ll keep quiet about it.

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period. 

He emphatically stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was in trouble throughout its entire duration. His reasoning? He claimed to have had much stronger relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

He acknowledged that he should have ended the relationship a quarter of a century ago, but he chose to stay, primarily because of his apprehension. He explained further, “Any form of leadership would not permit remarriage if you are repeatedly parting ways with your spouses.

Despite being unsure if she would develop Coyote Pass or opt for a sale, Janelle acknowledged that the first move was settling the Arizona property debt. With Kody unwilling to discuss the matter, she expressed her concerns to former sister wife Christine Brown in the Sept. 22 episode, stating, “I believe I’ll need legal representation.” She continued, “I think that’s the only way I can possibly extract a decision from him.

In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she doesn’t have a legally binding marriage with Kody, she holds no legitimate claims on his property, explaining that the situation is not as simple as calling a lawyer to initiate a divorce, given the lack of a legal union.

Kody chose not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle anymore, as he had lost trust in her.

He emphasized during the September 22 episode that we will settle the property when necessary, and he doesn’t wish to share details about his actions or plans as he’s grown tired of revealing information that gets 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 confided, “He spills secrets as if he’s got a hole in him, and I felt uneasy hearing details about his past relationships and multiple marriages that I wasn’t meant to know.

In days when their affection for each other was growing instead of waning, they would combine their funds together in a common fund.

In my expertise, I’ve noticed an interesting shift in our communal approach. Previously, we would pool all our resources to assist one individual, followed by collective support for the next person in need. This was the norm until around the last decade or so. However, it seems that the focus has now shifted towards building and maintaining personal estates, with everyone aiming for their own piece of the pie.

When Robyn found herself in search of a house in Arizona, everyone contributed towards purchasing a luxurious five-bedroom property worth approximately $1.65 million – this grand residence had been put up for sale in August.

Initially, Robyn mentioned that purchasing the property would benefit the family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be co-signers on the mortgage, her suggestion was turned down. Kody stated, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, safeguard Robyn’s inheritance,” as Janelle remembered. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

In Robyn’s words, she expressed, “We’ve been collaborating for quite some time now,” and when Janelle mentioned she was owed money from them, Robyn exclaimed, “It just seems so perplexing! I can’t even fathom how you calculate or sort that out. It’s such a puzzling situation.

Janelle expressed frustration over the family’s struggle to settle Coyote Pass, as she noticed Kody owning additional possessions such as trailers and home decorations. She pointed out the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls, adding that they also have their share of expenses. “I see all these things,” she said, acknowledging that she too has made similar purchases. In response, Kody explained that a significant portion of his money went towards purchasing vehicles (“Basically had a fleet”) and insuring the children.

Janelle often marveled at the well-maintained backyard and abundance of possessions at Robyn’s place, commenting, “I’d always be taken aback. Her backyard was always finished to perfection, and she always seemed to have so much stuff. I’d think to myself, ‘Wow, really?’

Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t give importance to her needs or desires, which became increasingly frustrating over time. She further explained, “Eventually, I realized this and even my grown-up kids were growing upset by it, saying things like, ‘Mom, what on earth is going on?’

Instead, we could say: Following the breakdown of her first marriage, Robyn became quite cautious when it came to managing her finances.

In the Sept. 22 episode, she admitted that she struggled with managing money in the past. Growing up, she faced tough financial situations, and it wasn’t until her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her sister wives, she suggested that they may have chosen to spend their money differently than she did.

Currently, Janelle admitted during the September 22 episode, and this is quite significant, as she gathers with Christine (mother of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) that there’s hardly any interaction taking place between them and Meri or Robyn, nor Kody. I don’t anticipate this situation will improve significantly in the near future.

Reflecting on an extraordinary period, I can’t help but reminisce about those blissful days shared with my loved ones on that charming cul-de-sac in Las Vegas. It was nothing short of the best chapter of my life! Maddie and Caleb were always present, their company adding a warmth and joy that made every moment special. Caleb, he was more than just an acquaintance; he felt like family to me.

However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, leading to its deterioration. Subsequently, as his marriages disintegrated, he found that the connections with his children also weakened: “This only served to spoil all our relationships.

But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021. 

She stated during the September 22 broadcast, “The children who felt frustrated were already in that state long before I departed. My departure did not impact their relationship with him. Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his kids.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody shared, “I’m still upset about how I was treated, and I haven’t been able to move past it yet. You see, I’m not prepared to accept blame for actions that my wife or ex-wife claims are mine. I can only hope that one day the resentment will fade, and we’ll be able to rediscover forgiveness and love.

At the ages of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri admitted they weren’t particularly well-acquainted with each other when they got married – both spiritually and legally. Later on, in 2014, they decided to file for divorce so that Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage.

During our marriage, she seemed quite different to me, and I suspect there were some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. Initially, I believed I could deal with it. However, he explained that everything was a struggle, stating, “I can’t thrive in an environment where she is consistently upset with me.

Despite wanting to find a way out, Kody explained that due to his commitment in a plural marriage, he was unable to seek a divorce because it wasn’t an option. He remained bound by this relationship, yet yearned to understand if there was a chance for salvation and repair.

Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, as they interacted, Kody stated, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t amusing, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I try to be interested in her, but I’m growing tired.

From my perspective, I can understand why Meri might feel that way, but allow me to clarify: It wasn’t a forced eviction on my part. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri made the collective decision for me to step away from our shared residence.

Despite the fact that neither Janelle nor Christine perceived a necessity to legally divorce Kody, Meri sought a formal separation from him, referred to as a “release,” within the latter part of 2022, through their church.

In the recent episode on the 22nd of September, I shared that when my four fellow brides and I tied the knot with Kody, it was within our church. However, since we can’t all have legal marriages, we referred to it as a covenant. Now, given that none of us are progressing with this marriage, I believe it’s crucial for us to dissolve this bond. I don’t want to be eternally linked to him if he doesn’t desire me in the same way. At this point, I feel we should sever all connections completely.

Kody hesitated on the suggestion, she mentioned, preferring not to recognize or submit to the leadership of the church officials.

Kody put it this way: “The harm is so extensive that we can never make amends, no matter the circumstances.” He continued, “Consequently, if it comes to being judged by God, I don’t want to be judged by this church and its nonsense. So, I plan to let Meri act independently because if I’m upset with her, it turns into a conflict. And honestly, I just wanted her to leave because it took her so long to understand that things are over for years now.

2021 holiday gift exchange conversation turned sour for the 18 Brown family members. As Christine explained, “Things took a turn for the worse, things unraveled.” Kody, Robyn, and their children formed one group who refused to engage with Janelle, me, and our kids. The rift occurred following this text conversation.

In Robyn’s perspective, her older children expressed that the interaction felt uncomfortable for them and requested some distance from their relationship. However, it wasn’t a matter of never wanting to see or interact with her again. Instead, it seemed more like saying, “Whoa, this situation got messy.

For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other. 

He admitted during the October 13 episode that what he yearns for most is rekindling a bond with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he often attempted to connect with Dayton. However, he’s not optimistic about developing a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Aurora asserted that she was repeatedly informed, from various situations and different individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed as a part of the family when her mother married Kody in 2010. They never regarded her as their sister, neither did they perceive nor treat her in such a way.

Breanna, her sister, expressed that she believes their parents could have made more effort to foster familial connections; however, this didn’t transpire as planned.

But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.

Robyn’s children and she are always welcome to join any event,” she emphasized. “In other words, feel free to drop by our home whenever it suits you.

At the same time, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and in fact, Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for a while. She said, “There were difficult periods and my children felt exasperated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as if they were blood relatives.

Speaking enthusiastically about the freedom she experienced, Janelle expressed her positive view of plural marriage: “In a well-functioning setting, you become part of an extraordinary family network and are connected to a community. You have a husband with whom you share a strong bond, and yet, you maintain your independence as well. To me, this type of marriage offers a wonderful balance.

Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.

He expressed his viewpoint during the December 1st broadcast: “Polygamy hinders emotional intimacy.” He explained further, stating that it tends to make everyone guarded. Instead, he aspires for an emotionally open, intimate relationship with a woman, but such vulnerability and closeness is difficult, if not impossible, within polygamous unions.

According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to distribute his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

On the September 29th episode, it was observed that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it more convenient to stay away. Occasionally, I had to remind him of our arrangement and encourage him to visit my home. He would often make excuses about being tired, but I would respond by saying, “You can rest just as effectively at my house as you can at Robyn’s.” This indicates that he tended to use fatigue as an excuse to avoid coming over.

In simpler terms, Janelle pointed out that her children were reprimanded for accessing Robyn’s refrigerator, indicating a sense of separation between them and Robyn. For Christine’s kids, the problem was that they realized Robyn was their father’s partner, but he wasn’t living with them at home.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

On the September 29th episode, she mentioned that Meri was open-hearted towards my children and me, while the rest of the family found it challenging to accept us. She expressed that all they desired was to belong to this family.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his brothers and sisters made significant efforts to include them.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might exhibit a victim mentality. To clarify, it’s a challenging situation, and I don’t wish to place blame. Instead, I think each person adopts unique approaches to cope, and in this case, Robyn seems to be using a strategy to stay afloat.

To put it another way, if she truly perceives that I or anyone else in the family has mistreated her or her children when she was frequently favored by our father and we were diligently nurturing our bond with her kids, then the prospect of any future relationship between Robyn and me is non-existent.

As a dedicated follower, I can attest that growing up with my dad moving among four distinct residences has undeniably left its mark on us, the 18 children. During a recent episode on September 29th, I vividly recalled an instance when my daughter Ariella, who was born in January 2016, held tight to my leg as I prepared to depart, symbolizing the emotional ties that have developed due to our living arrangements.

Kody stated, “‘I had to tell her, ‘There’s another woman who needs my attention, another mother for my children. Other kids depend on me too,'” expressing the difficulty of the situation. She was clinging to him, crying, “Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t leave me,” and he replied, “Goodness, this is tough.

Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle. 

Right from the start,” she clarified, her children “were aware that their father wouldn’t always be present. It has always seemed to me that Kody and Robyn handled the situation poorly with their children. He couldn’t stay away for longer than three or four days because Ari gets so upset. I believe this was irresponsible parenting. Throughout our family history, the other kids managed similar situations, and they have turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Among a small group of young individuals with Brown heritage, Mykelti stood out as someone who maintained relationships not only with Robyn and Kody but also with Christine and Janelle, her mother of three. During Kody’s divorces, Mykelti stepped into the role of mediator to preserve harmony among them.

From the very start, Mykelti felt close with Robyn after she joined the Brown family. In fact, Mykelti extended an invitation to Robyn to be present at the delivery of her twins, Archer and Ace, in November 2022.

In the September 29th broadcast, Mykelti shared that upon Robyn joining our family, I was still grappling with self-discovery. Robyn made me feel unique and understood, she was a source of comfort when I needed someone. More importantly, she listened to me, loved me during my difficult times.

Christine was overjoyed beyond measure when Robyn joined their family and it became apparent that she and Mykelti shared a wonderful bond. On the October 6 episode, Christine expressed this joy by saying, “I had always hoped for my children to have strong relationships with other mothers in our plural family. And as I watched them grow closer, I realized all my dreams were coming true.

Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; he thinks they’re deliberately doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he didn’t commit, according to what he shared during the October 6th episode. In essence, he feels that the only ‘crime’ he has committed is not being deeply in love with the mothers of his older children.

What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame. 

He mentioned that the strain in his relationship with his kids is primarily due to negative chatter in his mind. He explained that there’s a storm of disillusionment stemming from the family’s separation, which seems to have led him to think, “I guess I should shoulder the blame because Dad made mistakes.

However, although he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to the insults. In fact, he admitted that he was finding it difficult to bond with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Kody revealed that one of his children replied angrily to a text message saying, “You’re nothing but trash. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.

In another turn of events, I couldn’t help but share with the world, “One of my beloved ones has bluntly stated, ‘You’re utterly insensitive. I swear, we’re done speaking. You’ve deceived me and tainted my mind.’ It’s a hard pill to swallow, but I can’t deny the raw honesty in those words.

He doesn’t intend to continue dealing with this toxic situation forever. “I won’t keep trying indefinitely,” he stated, implying that the adults involved should take more responsibility for resolving the issues. “I’m ready to put forth the effort,” he added, “but it’s crucial that someone else steps up and makes an effort as well.

For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home. 

In her conversation on October 6th, she shared that her parents split up when she was young. At that time, her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived alone. She recalled asking him why he wasn’t around during her childhood, but all he offered were weak explanations which left her feeling disappointed.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: Last year, when Kody expressed his hurt feelings, I found it challenging not to feel a tinge of respect loss, and I expressed this during our intense conversation that was captured on camera.

As a devoted admirer, I’d rephrase it this way: Despite recognizing that I should be putting in more effort to repair my bond with my children, I feel it’s crucial for me to heal my own heart first.

He expressed his frustration by stating, “Some of my children seem to be ganging up on me. The situation has left me so furious that when I interact with them, I fear they might accuse me, which could make me even more agitated. At the moment, I’m afraid I might react impulsively and cause further problems instead.

As a lifestyle expert looking back on the nuptials of Logan Brownson (or Barlow) and Michelle Petty in October 2022, I must admit that despite having a majority of the family present, the air seemed devoid of the usual heartfelt warmth and affection typically associated with such joyous events.

In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he felt Madison had hurriedly taken her children and moved them away from him without informing him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. Essentially, he expressed that she hadn’t informed him about being pregnant.

Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.

Janelle clarified the reason behind Maddie avoiding Kody at the wedding was because he has no connection with him. She is extremely careful about her children’s well-being as Kody hasn’t been part of their lives since Evie was born, who is now three and a half years old. Maddie didn’t want Kody to suddenly show up and claim to be their grandfather, surprising the kids with an unfamiliar figure like, “Who is this man?

Kody expressed that it’s not feasible for grandparents to constantly be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, given the situation where children are relocated to distant coasts, such as Maddie living in North Carolina. He himself has responsibilities and a lifestyle in Flagstaff, making constant involvement challenging.

As a devoted supporter, I can see that there seems to be a significant gap in perspectives between Kody and his grown children regarding their current rift. However, what appears to be a contentious issue is his expectation for an apology or acknowledgement of wrongdoing from his side.

In the October 13th episode, Janelle expressed that even as life returned to normal following the COVID situation, there remained a rift within the family. Kody felt his sons needed to apologize, particularly to Robyn, for something that had transpired. She continued, “It evolved into this, and now they just need to have a conversation with me.

In essence, Janelle expressed that Kody felt let down because he believed his children hadn’t remained loyal to him, and moreover, someone who had given so much love and care had been disregarded or faced disrespect, as she put it. In her response, she appeared dismissive, saying something along the lines of “Well, Kody, I don’t know. Whatever.

Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment while narrating an interaction with his father. He said, “He consistently framed our conversation as if I needed to apologize to him.” Later on, he told Janelle, “‘Unless you’re genuinely prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends,’ I said, ‘let’s not talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He said something like, ‘Hey, I’ve been reflecting on your words. I forgive you, Please forgive me too.’

Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, it’s only Savanah that he regularly interacts with. Although it’s not often, about every couple of months, he contacts her for a get-together. The rest of their kids don’t seem to have much of a relationship with him.

Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, it is her belief that her four elder brothers have assumed a fatherly role in her life. In fact, she has disclosed to Janelle her intention of asking her siblings to escort her during her wedding ceremony someday.

In conversation with Savannah, she expressed, “It’s clear to me now that this is the kind of father he will be – he’ll join us for fun times and then leave again. I understand his situation and accept it as it is.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

She expressed her exasperation about Kody, saying, “I’m really fed up with him,” because she has observed a pattern where men like him disappear from their children’s lives after divorce. She has worked with multiple women throughout her career who have experienced this situation.

Initially, when a strain occurred between them, Gabriel found it particularly tough as Kody was accustomed to bringing Gabriel along on his work trips. As explained by Janelle, Kody had been an extremely involved father until just recently.

Despite being puzzled about what might have upset his father, Gabriel asserted during the October 13 episode, “If Dad refuses to change and can’t accept responsibility, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely at peace with that decision.

In her own words, she expressed that he feels content with the absence of his father in his life. And, as for me, I wish the same peace for all my children. I believe they are all gradually finding their way here.

For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation. 

He expressed sincere regret for how Gabriel feels, and in a private moment, he admitted that he had tried reaching out to him several times, but each attempt was met with rejection. However, he made it clear that this wasn’t due to any lack of effort on his side.

In late 2022, Meri, who was Kody’s last wife, formally ended their relationship according to their church’s terminology, by asking for and obtaining what is known as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason.

She observed during the October 13 broadcast that he dislikes that particular word because it doesn’t resonate with him as a feeling of abandonment. Instead, she feels that he did abandon her.

To put it simply, she believes he paid little attention to her until she decided to depart, which allowed him to claim, “I have no involvement in this.

And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy. 

He admitted that he had moved past the situation a while ago, but acknowledged his fear in confronting her directly due to concerns over her potential reaction. This fear stemmed from Meri’s history of disloyalty, which made him apprehensive about their future interactions. Essentially, he was concerned about preserving his reputation after the divorce, as it could be negatively affected.

Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished. 

I can’t help but feel disheartened that Kody is portraying our marriage in such a way, as if it’s a completely different story from what I know and live. It seems like his perspective has shifted, yet the allegations he’s making about me to others, which they seem to be accepting without question, are simply unfounded.

Before Christina parted ways with Kody, it became clear to her that they weren’t well-suited for each other based on a suggested exercise by their marriage counselor in Las Vegas.
