As a seasoned observer of human dynamics and relationships, I find myself deeply moved by the complex tapestry of emotions unfolding within the Brown family. The stories of these individuals are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as they navigate their personal journeys towards self-discovery and healing.
The whirlwind relationship between Christine Brown and David Woolley has stirred up mixed feelings among some of her children.
In the November 17th episode of Sister Wives, Christine and her ex-husband Kody Brown’s 20-year-old daughter Ysabel Brown became emotional as she watched her mother and her boyfriend David move into a new shared home in Utah.
As a lifestyle expert, I posed this question to Christine: “Will David be stepping into the role of a father figure for Aspyn Thompson, Mykelti Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, and Truely Brown? To ensure we’re all on the same page.
Christine made it clear to her daughter: ‘No, no one can take your father’s place. However, if you ever feel the need for a male role model or someone similar, he will adapt to what you require.’
However, it became evident that the relationship between Kody and several of his children is deeply strained due to the family dynamics.
In a heartfelt moment, Ysabel expressed concern that her bond with her father might be gradually fading.
In her personal reflection, Christine acknowledges Ysabel’s complex feelings: “Ysabel yearns for a strong father figure, yet she longs deeply for her own dad.
Furthermore, Christine makes an effort to comfort Ysabel by expressing that she believes David will make a wonderful stepfather, and Ysabel concurs with this sentiment.
Ysabel mused, “David seems like such an involved dad with his kids, and I can’t help but imagine how wonderful it would be to have a bond like that with my own father.” She shed tears in her confessional, expressing her longing for a relationship as heartfelt with her father.
Ysabel further tried to explain her fears surrounding her mom’s whirlwind romance with David.
As an overly concerned daughter, I voiced my concerns, “I fear our bond may vanish, become empty and lifeless.” I didn’t imply David would be the cause. Instead, it’s his nature to enter any circumstance always considering others and respecting everyone around him.
Christine comforted her daughter by saying, “When David enters the picture, it simply means there’s another person to care for. However, he certainly isn’t here to take your father’s place.
In early 2023, the events depicted occurred prior to David and Christine’s wedding in October of that same year.
However, during a conversation with TopMob News last October, Christine implied that the situation isn’t yet fully resolved.
Christine shared with TopMob News that it’s deeply troubling for her children to experience difficulties in their father-child bond, as my own relationship with my father is among my most cherished. She expressed a heartfelt wish that her kids could enjoy a positive relationship with their dad instead.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
For more bombshell moments from this season, read on.
Kody Brown expressed his readiness to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after their wedding in 1990. However, as he put it, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this could be a chance for us to start anew,” suggesting optimism about their 2018 relocation. Yet, as Meri recalled during the Sept. 15 premiere, “Kody has led me to believe that he would address issues by saying things like this. This is a pattern that’s repeated over many years.
She expressed her main concern as being his poor communication, specifically about his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, as well as the narrative he has been conveying over the years.
Kody admitted that his actions might have sent “confusing signals”, but once he began working on other projects, he found himself questioning the logic behind it. He clarified, “I wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her at this point.
Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023.
In a moment of honesty, I admitted, “They said, ‘We’re here for you, we’ve got your back. And it’s high time,'” implying that they had been trying to encourage me to move on for years. With my eyes wide open now, I realized he was subtly nudging me towards the exit by denying his love for me, “Because if I leave of my own accord, he wouldn’t be seen as the villain because he didn’t walk away first.
Several years had passed since the family acquired a 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., with the intention of constructing a home. In the opening episode of the new season, Kody admitted that he was now willing to let this dream fade away. As they hadn’t paid off the entire $820,000 purchase price (which sources claim was settled in 2023), he suggested to his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, “I might 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 shared with TopMob News that there was a gradual drifting in their relationship. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards certain children that ultimately led her to decide to part ways.
In my own words, I shared with Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown: “The pivotal moment for me was when his bond with my kids fractured, and it didn’t appear he would go to great lengths to mend it. This realization made me understand that this was the primary reason I had stayed here.
In the November 3rd episode, it was absolutely off the table for Janelle when Kody proposed reconciliation.
She stated, “I can’t imagine finding a way for us to be on good terms again without him having a role in my children’s lives, but I will always prioritize them and choose their wellbeing over anything else.
Kody had provided an account as to why he wasn’t putting more effort into fixing the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids.
In the recent episode on September 15th, I voiced my feelings about no longer feeling part of our family unit. Despite being legally married to Robyn and sharing the responsibility of raising our five beautiful children – Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon, and Ariella – I also maintain relationships with some of the other kids, albeit infrequently. This complex dynamic leaves me wondering about my role within this family structure. It doesn’t feel like the close-knit unit we once were.
In the premiere of season 19, Robyn admitted that their marriage was struggling more than ever before, despite it being their first experience with monogamy after 14 years together. She explained that things have been difficult between them and Kody is uncertain whether he should blame himself or one of his other wives. Kody seems to be feeling a lot of rejection and is worried that Robyn might reject him too.
Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m always alert. I’m constantly having to prevent him from undermining our relationship.” The main challenge, as she put it: “There’s no support system for dealing with the fact that I’m still married to a man who’s getting divorced multiple times.
Meanwhile, Kody found himself grappling with self-doubt, expressing, “I just can’t bring myself to tell my reflection, ‘Hi there, me. You’re amazing.’
In the October 27 episode, Robyn observed that her former sisters-in-law were progressing into a new phase. She felt as though she was the one who was left lagging behind, like an outsider looking in.
Add Madison, the oldest child of Janelle, to the list of kids who are currently not in a relationship with Kody. As Janelle pointed out during the premiere, there has been no communication between Maddie and her father. Neither of them have called each other, and as a result, Maddie doesn’t have any relationship with him or with Kody’s wife Robin. In essence, she has cut both of them off from her life.
Janelle mentioned that there seems to be a question about Kody’s commitment in his relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine: “She feels he should only interact if he is fully committed to it.
Consequently, during the September 22 broadcast, Janelle mentioned that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to significantly break apart.
Without Kody being present or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, according to Janelle. She feels that unless he becomes more reliable and less prone to drama, it might be best for everyone if they keep his absence unnoticed.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to make amends, but she also suggested, “It seems fitting for the children to do the same as well.
presently, Kody appears unwilling to mend the divide, complaining that whenever he communicates with his daughter, their conversations often turn into gossip exchanges, which he has grown weary of.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that “He hinted at not having truly loved me and feeling compelled to marry me.” She then recounted their conversation, saying, “‘Kody,’ I told him, ‘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?
Why would a bachelor decide to marry a maiden without genuine feelings towards her, merely trying to cultivate affection over time instead? Seems unfair, doesn’t it? To select someone at random and say, ‘I choose you as an experiment, hoping to grow attached over the next three decades'”?
In his private thoughts, Kody stated: “Well, Meri is making some allegations. She can say whatever pleases her. I won’t be responding to them.
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
In the October 20th episode, I unequivocally stated that our marriage was in constant turmoil throughout. My assertion is backed by the exceptional relationships I shared with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship twenty-five years back,” yet he continued due to fear. He mentioned that leadership would not permit remarriage if one is repeatedly leaving spouses.
Despite being unsure whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, Janelle realized that the first move was to clear the Arizona property debt. Since Kody wasn’t open to discussing the matter, she expressed to her former sister wife Christine Brown on September 22, “It seems like I might need a lawyer.” She added, “I think that’s the only way I can possibly get any kind of decision from him.
In essence, I find myself in a predicament where, given the absence of a legal union with Kody, I have no legitimate claim whatsoever on his property. To put it simply, it’s not as easy as picking up the phone and scheduling a divorce appointment. The complexity arises from the fact that there’s no legally binding marriage between us.
As a faithful follower, I’ve chosen to refrain from discussing our Arizona property with Janelle because I can no longer place my trust in her.
He firmly stated during the September 22 episode, “When the right time arrives, we will settle the property, and I prefer to keep my actions private since I’ve grown weary of sharing details that are misconstrued by the chatterbox rumor mill of our fractured family.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She said, “He spills secrets as if he were a colander,” referring to the fact that he shared intimate details about his past relationships with her, including information about other partners and spouses, which she found inappropriate.
In days gone by, when their love was growing rather than fading, they would combine their funds into a shared bank account.
In simpler terms, Janelle said during the September 22 episode that we would go to great lengths to aid one individual, and afterward, we’d unite to assist another. This was the norm until approximately the last decade. However, now it seems like it’s more about personal assets and everyone wanting their own instead of helping each other.
When Robyn found herself needing a house in Arizona, everyone pooled their resources to purchase her a spacious five-bedroom property worth $1.65 million – this luxury home went on sale in August.
Robyn stated that the plan was for the property to benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be co-signers on the mortgage, she was met with opposition. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, understandably protect Robyn’s assets,” according to Janelle’s recollection. Now that she is leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and get back some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.
But that could be a tough sell.
Robyn commented, “After all this time we’ve been working as a team, it seems puzzling to me when Janelle mentions she’s owed money from them. I can’t seem to wrap my head around it.
Speaking about their financial struggles with Coyote Pass, Janelle pointed out that despite having numerous other debts, Kody seemed to accumulate possessions such as trailers and home decorations. She noted the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls, adding that she’s aware of their material possessions. “I see all these things,” she said, “And I understand, because I too have spent money on items.” (It should be mentioned that in response, Kody argued that a significant portion of his funds were used for car purchases—”Essentially, I had a fleet”—and insurance for the children.)
Janelle admitted she wasn’t clear about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, but she often found herself astonished by the beauty of Robyn’s backyard. It was always perfectly landscaped, and there was an abundance of items at her house. This would prompt Janelle to exclaim, “Wow. Huh.
In essence, she explained, “He doesn’t seem to value my needs or desires.” Over time, this became increasingly apparent, and even her grown children expressed their frustration, with statements like, “Mom, what on earth is going on here?
Instead of saying “Robyn’s take,” you could say “Robyn thoughtfully managed her finances after her first marriage ended.” This maintains the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-read language.
She admitted during the Sept. 22 episode that she hadn’t always been good with managing money. Growing up, she faced many difficulties, and it was only during her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she remarked, “Perhaps your priorities for spending money were different from mine.
Currently, as revealed in the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that while she and Christine (mother of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) often gather with their families, there is little interaction taking place between them and Meri or Robyn, or Kody. She doesn’t anticipate this situation improving significantly in the near future.
Kody described his period living on a cul-de-sac with four homes in Las Vegas as the peak of his life, stating, “Things were running smoothly, and having Maddie and Caleb nearby made it even better. I truly cherished Caleb; he felt like family.
However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, leading to disarray. Subsequently, as his marriages dissolved, he lamented that his connections with the children deteriorated too, stating that it led to the souring of these relationships.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
On the September 22nd episode, she remarked, “The children who felt frustrated were in that state long before I departed. My departure didn’t alter their relationships with him. Kody has the ability to mend his bonds with his kids.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody expressed his frustration about how he feels he’s been wronged, stating, “I haven’t been able to move past it because of the way I’ve been treated.” He clarified that he’s unwilling to accept blame for actions his wife or ex-wife claims he committed. He hopes for a time when feelings of resentment will fade, allowing them to find forgiveness and love once more.
As a devoted admirer, I’m sharing an intriguing tidbit: At just 21 and 19 years old, Kody and Meri, who were joining hands in both spiritual and legal matrimony, admitted they weren’t particularly well-acquainted. Fast forward to 2014, Kody sought to legally adopt Robyn’s three eldest children from her previous marriage, a move that followed their divorce.
In our marriage, she seemed quite different from what I expected, and I suspect there were some issues or past experiences (baggage) that she carried which I wasn’t aware of. At first, I thought I could adapt to this situation. However, he admitted that everything turned into constant arguments, and he couldn’t bear a life where she was consistently upset with him.
Despite his desire to depart, he found himself bound by his circumstances. Kody, in a plural marriage, admitted, “If one wishes to remain faithful and devoted, they can’t seek a divorce. It’s forbidden. As a result, I couldn’t escape that relationship. However, it wasn’t that I yearned to exit the relationship. I was hoping to discover if we could repair and mend it instead.
Consequently, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they interacted, Kody stated that “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I try to be interested in her, but I’m growing tired.
In a just manner, he pointed out, it’s understandable that Meri might feel left behind. However, it was not I who asked for my expulsion. Instead, it was Christine, Janelle, and Meri themselves who decided for me to depart from our shared residence.
In my perspective as a devoted follower, though neither Janelle nor Christine perceived the necessity of legally dissolving their union with Kody, it was Meri who sought the church’s guidance for an official separation, which is known as a “release,” towards the end of 2022.
In the September 22 episode, she clarified that all four of us had entered into a covenant with Kody through our church when we married him. Although legally, it can’t be recognized as marriage for all of us, we referred to it as such. As we are no longer pursuing a formal marriage, I believe it’s appropriate to dissolve this bond entirely. I don’t want to be connected to him forever if he doesn’t desire that connection, and I am at the point where I prefer to separate ourselves completely in all aspects, including any spiritual ties.
Kody hesitated on the suggestion, she explained, as she wasn’t keen on recognizing the leadership of the church officials.
Kody clarified his position: “The harm inflicted is so severe that there’s no way we can make amends, regardless of the circumstances.” He added, “Therefore, I don’t wish to be held responsible by this church and its unnecessary complications. So, I plan to allow Meri her freedom to act as she wishes because if I’m upset with her, it leads to conflict. Frankly, I just want her to move on because it’s taken her a long time to understand that it’s been settled for years.
2021’s holiday gift exchange conversation among the 18 Brown children took an unpleasant turn, as Christine explained. “Things went wrong, things fell apart,” she summarized. “Kody, Robyn, and their kids were on one side, and they chose to distance themselves from Janelle, me, and our kids. After this text conversation, a divide occurred.
According to Robyn, her older children found the interaction “uncomfortable emotionally” and felt the need for some distance in their relationship. However, it wasn’t a matter of not wanting to see her again or cutting ties completely, she clarified. Instead, they simply expressed that things had become awkward or unpleasant, like saying, “Oops, this got messy.
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
“The thing I want most is to just have a relationship with Robyn’s children again,” he confessed in the Oct. 13 episode. “In middle school, Aurora was my favorite person to hang out with. And in high school, I would always try to hit Dayton up. But I’m, I’m not hopeful for a relationship with Dad And Robyn.”
Aurora emphasized that she was repeatedly informed, through various situations and by different individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed as part of the family when her mother married Kody in 2010. They never viewed her as a sibling; instead, they didn’t acknowledge or perceive her in that way.
Her sister Breanna expressed that the parents might have made more effort to bring our family closer together, but unfortunately, this connection was not fostered effectively.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
Robyn’s children and she are always welcome at everything,” she emphasized. “In essence, feel free to drop by our home whenever it suits you.
Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown had a very tight bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them for a while. She expressed, “There were challenging periods, and my children felt irritated at times, but they viewed Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as closely.
Speaking enthusiastically about plural marriage, Janelle expressed, “In a well-functioning setup, you become an integral part of this fantastic family network, connected deeply to the community. You have a husband with whom you share a strong bond and enjoy complete independence simultaneously. To me, that’s what plural marriage is all about – striking a perfect balance.
According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to split his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.
In the September 29th episode, it was mentioned that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to stay away. Occasionally, she had to remind him of our shared living arrangement and encourage him to visit her home. He’d often make excuses about being tired, but she playfully suggested, “You can rest just as much at my house as you do at Robyn’s.
Janelle stated that her children were reprimanded for going into Robyn’s refrigerator. On the other hand, Christine’s kids felt distant because they noticed that Robyn was dating their father 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 welcomed both me and my children warmly, but the rest of the family found it challenging to accept us. She expressed that our primary desire was simply to belong within their family.
I, being deeply committed, would assert that my siblings and I spared no effort in welcoming them into our circle of belonging.
In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might be dealing with a sense of being a victim. To put it simply, this is his perspective. And it’s important to note that he doesn’t place blame on her for this situation. Instead, he sees it as a coping mechanism that people often develop in order to navigate their lives effectively.
Yet, he went on to say, “If she genuinely thinks that we were unfairly treating her or her children while she was consistently favored by Dad and we were diligently working on our bond with her kids, if she truly believes this, then there’s no prospect of me maintaining a relationship with Robyn anymore.
During a September 29 broadcast, Kody explained how moving between four homes affected his eighteen children, particularly when Ariella, the youngest of him and Robyn who was born in January 2016, held onto him tightly as he attempted to depart.
Kody shared, “‘I told her, ‘Another woman and more children depend on me, another mother for them,’ which makes it tough because she clings to me, crying, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t go.’ It’s a difficult situation for me.’
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
Initially, she shared, her children were aware that their father wouldn’t be a constant presence due to his frequent absences. I’ve often felt that Kody and Robyn mishandled this situation with their kids. Ari gets distressed when he’s away for more than three or four days, which seems like an indication of questionable parenting to me. Throughout the family’s history, the other children have been able to cope without their father around as often, and they’ve turned out to be well-adjusted adults.
Among the limited number of children with the last name Brown, Mykelti maintained relationships with Robyn, Kody, as well as Christine and Janelle. During Kody’s divorce processes, Mykelti often served as a mediator, fostering peace among them.
From the instant Robyn joined the Brown household, Mykelti warmly welcomed her to be present during the delivery of her twins in November 2022 – Archer and Ace.
As Robyn became a part of our family, I found myself in the midst of self-discovery, and she made me feel cherished and understood. This is what I shared during the September 29th episode. Robyn was my support system when I needed someone most. She was my confidante, offering me comfort, listening to me, and showing me love at a time when I desperately needed it.
Christine was overjoyed beyond words when she saw how well Robyn and Mykelti got along. She expressed this on the October 6 episode, saying, “Ever since I dreamt of having a large family, I’ve always hoped my children would have strong bonds with other mothers. And seeing them connect like they do, it’s more than I could have ever imagined.
Kody expressed that it seems like more than just his wives who are distancing him from their lives intentionally. He stated during the October 6 episodes, explaining his perspective on his growing estrangement from some of his older children. “I’m essentially being excluded because they’re seeking revenge for a crime I did not commit,” he clarified. “The only ‘crime’ I’ve committed is not developing an all-consuming love for their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
In my perspective, the strain in my connection with my kids primarily stems from hurtful comments I’ve been making. It feels as if a storm of disillusionment has swept through our family due to the separation, and it often leaves me thinking, “They seem to blame me for everything that went wrong.
However, though he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to the insults. More precisely, when discussing his difficulties in relating with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, Kody admitted that one of his children had replied to a text saying, “You’re worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.
In a separate incident, he told cameras, “I’ve had one of my kids just say, ‘You’re an a–hole. I’m never talking to you again. You manipulated me and you brainwashed me.'”
He mentioned that he isn’t ready to tackle the problem indefinitely, as he feels it’s time for the grown-ups to step up and take charge. “I’m prepared to contribute,” he stated, “but someone else needs to be equally engaged and work towards a solution as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
During the October 6th episode, she shared that her parents divorced when she was young. At that time, her father lived with another wife in a different city, while her mother lived on her own. She recalled questioning her biological father about why he wasn’t around during her childhood, to which he offered flimsy explanations. These excuses didn’t make sense to her, and it was disappointing that he wasn’t present when she needed him the most.
“I must admit, I found it difficult not to feel a slight loss of respect for you,” she confided during their heated on-screen argument towards the end of 2022.
Kody admitted that he might not be doing enough to repair his relationships with his children, but he emphasized that healing his own heart is a crucial step before making any progress.
He confided that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him, and he shared, “I’m so enraged by what has transpired that when I interact with my kids, I fear they might provoke me with an allegation. At the moment, I’m too volatile; all I can do is cause further harm.
Despite a large portion of the family being present at the wedding of Logan, partnered with Michelle Petty in October 2022, the atmosphere didn’t seem particularly affectionate.
In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, expressing that he saw Madison hastily remove her children from him. He mentioned that his daughter had not informed him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. Essentially, he was saying that she did not tell him she was expecting a child.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
Janelle clarified that her daughter Maddie avoids Kody because he doesn’t have any relationship with him. Maddie values the protection of her children above all else, which is why Kody hasn’t been around since Evie was born over three years ago. Janelle explained that Maddie didn’t want Kody to suddenly appear at the wedding and claim to be their grandpa without them knowing who he was.
Kody expressed that it’s impractical for grandparents to be constantly involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie’s situation in North Carolina as an example. He added that this becomes more challenging when you relocate your children to the opposite coast, as he himself has obligations in Flagstaff.
It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their persistent estrangement, with a key issue being his insistence on receiving an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from his side.
Following the end of the COVID-19 crisis and our return to routine life, our family reunion remained elusive due to Kody’s insistence that my sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn. As time went on, it seemed their apology evolved into something more demanding: they simply needed to have a conversation with me.
In Janelle’s words, Kody’s problem was that he felt his children weren’t faithful to him, and the dearest member of our family who has given so much love and devotion had been disregarded or treated unfairly, she explained. And I replied, ‘Well, Kody, whatever you say.’
Gabriel echoed the same sentiment, narrating a chat with his father. “He repeatedly suggested that I owed him an apology,” he told Janelle. “Finally, I said, ‘Look, unless you’re truly prepared to establish and mend our relationship, we won’t communicate anymore.’ A few days later, he contacted me again via text. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been contemplating your words. I forgive you. Please forgive me.’ I replied, ‘Forgive me for what?’
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, it’s only Savanah he regularly interacts with. Although it doesn’t happen often, every few months or so, he contacts her and they spend time together outside. The other kids don’t have much relationship or contact with him at all.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she perceives her four elder brothers as assuming a more paternal role. In fact, Savannah has admitted to Janelle that she might ask her siblings to escort her during her future wedding ceremony.
Janelle shared that she discussed the matter with Savanah, and Savanah expressed, ‘You know, it’s become clear to me that this is his nature.’ She continued, ‘He’ll be the kind of father who joins us for fun times but won’t always be around. I understand him now, and I’m okay with it.’
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her exasperation about Kody, saying, “I can’t help but feel frustrated. You see, I’ve witnessed similar situations in my professional life. Many women I’ve collaborated with over the years have divorced, only to find that their children’s fathers disappeared from the scene.
Initially, when the strain emerged between them, “Gabriel found it particularly tough as Kody often invited Gabriel along on his work trips,” explained Janelle, implying that Kody had been a highly involved father until more recently.
In last Tuesday’s episode, I found myself utterly confounded as to what could have provoked Gabriel’s father’s ire. Yet, during the heated exchange, I declared, “If he persists in refusing change and fails to acknowledge his mistakes, then I swear I’ll cut all ties with him. And honestly, I can live with that decision.
In Janelle’s words, he feels content knowing his father isn’t part of his life. Ideally, I wish the same for all my children and I believe they are gradually understanding this as well.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed his regret for how Gabriel seems, adding that he’s attempted to reach out to him several times but unfortunately, those attempts were not reciprocated. This isn’t because I didn’t make an effort.
As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself reflecting upon Meri’s decision to part ways with her husband, Kody, towards the end of last year. Rather than using legal terms, she sought what their faith refers to as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason behind it. This step signified an official separation of our shared emotional bond in accordance with their church’s teachings.
On the October 13th broadcast, I observed that particular term doesn’t sit well with him because it doesn’t align with his perception of our relationship. Instead, he feels more like we’ve navigated a separation, not that he left me behind. From my perspective, however, I believe it was a departure, not just a transition.
Actually, she believes he paid little attention to her until her choice to depart was made, 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 already moved past the situation some time ago. However, he acknowledged his apprehension about confronting her directly, fearing her reaction. This was largely due to the fact that Meri had never been loyal to him throughout their relationship, which was a constant source of worry for him. Ultimately, he expressed concern about preserving his reputation, as divorce can have a negative impact on one’s standing in society.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
She expressed her disappointment, saying, “It’s truly unfortunate how Kody is discussing our marriage in such a manner.” It seems as though his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the accusations he’s making about me to others, which many appear to be accepting, are unfounded and false.
Prior to Christina’s departure from Kody, it became apparent to her that they were not compatible according to written standards, as suggested by their marriage and family therapist based in Las Vegas through an exercise he proposed.
Christine compiled a list detailing the characteristics she desired in a partner, including a strong communicator, a dedicated family member, and someone who was genuinely attracted to her. However, Kody did not possess these qualities, as she shared during the Oct. 20 episode, stating, “He admitted that he doesn’t fit any of those qualities I was looking for.
The missive was part of the reason she knew so quickly that now-husband David Woolley was her person.
She enthusiastically shared that family means everything to the single parent of eight, who runs a successful drywall business. Known for his integrity and authenticity, he is an exceptional communicator.
