Sister Wives Explosive Trailer: Meri and Robyn's Relationship Hits Breaking Point!

Sister Wives stars Meri Brown and Robyn Brown’s relationship is being put to the test.

In recent episodes starting from April 2020, the once tight-knit group of reality stars have seen rising tension, largely due to one of them ending her relationship with their matriarch, Kody Brown.

In the March 20 mid-season teaser, Meri expressed, “There was a connection between us.” Now she’s wondering, “Why did you express your desire for a relationship with me and then disappear without a trace?

In a recent confession, the 54-year-old individual (who is Leon Brown’s father at 29 years old) acknowledged that suspicions about Robyn’s motives have long been present among those in her circle, particularly following Meri’s decision to legally divorce Kody, enabling Robyn to wed him.

In the trailer, Meri stated, “Many seem to think she was deceitful or manipulative.

Nevertheless, Robyn, being the only wife in Kody’s polygamous union, doesn’t share this perspective. Instead, she stated, “I’ve always stood by Meri, even during times when others were scheming against her or disregarding her.

It’s evident that the impending sale of the Brown family’s estate in Flagstaff, Ariz., known as Coyote Pass, has increased tension among the sisters-in-law, notably Christine Brown and Janelle Brown, due to the division of the property.

So as long as that property continues to be a point of disagreement,” Janelle, aged 55, clarified, “I can’t truly let go and proceed.

Now, Meri, Kody’s first wife, is ready to take legal action to protect her assets, too.

She mentioned to Janelle, “It seems I’ll need legal assistance for this issue.” “This matter is important enough for me to stand my ground on it,” she added.

Meanwhile, Kody emphasized in a confessional, “I’m not trying to rip you off, Meri!”

It’s evident that the 56-year-old feels his relationship with Robyn, who is 46, has made him a convenient scapegoat for his former partners. In his own words, “I am fed up with being manipulated for loving Robyn.

However, aside from the sale of Coyote Pass, it’s widely believed among the other sister wives that Robyn, who is mother to Dayton Brown (24), Aurora Brown (22), and Breanna Brown (19) from a previous marriage, played a role in the deterioration of Kody and Meri’s relationship.

Christine, aged 52, claimed that when Kody entered into a spiritual union with Robyn, despite being legally wedded to Meri, she suggested the concept of getting divorced.

In the December 29th episode, Christine asserted, “She began discussing other families where the initial spouse divorced to lawfully wed a second spouse and legally adopt the children. This, I recall, struck me as a clear indication of manipulation.

Indeed, she noted that Robyn had suggested the idea “on numerous occasions over the years,” implying that she included it as something Robyn would have been enthusiastic about.

Christine, currently wed to David Woolley, thinks that Meri didn’t find the concept pre-existing in her mind. Yet, it came as a surprise to Janelle that Meri decided to divorce Kody, considering she would now be free from any legal ties with him.

Meri placing a great deal of significance on getting legally married was evident, as Janelle expressed. Frankly, we were all taken aback when we learned she was going through with it, since we hadn’t expected her to take such a step.

For more bombshells from the latest season of Sister Wives, read on.

Kody Brown expressed his intention to part ways with his first wife Meri Brown soon after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as he put it, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be an opportunity for us to start fresh together,” suggesting optimism for their future. Yet, Meri revealed during the premiere on September 15 that Kody had repeatedly led her to believe things would improve, only to have his actions contradict those words over many years.

She openly expressed her primary concern as his poor communication, including his feelings, desires, and even things he doesn’t want, along with the narrative he has maintained over the years.

Kody conceded that his actions might have sent “confusing signals,” but he clarified that as he delved into projects, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point of doing this?” He further stated that under current circumstances, he wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her.

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

She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re with you, we’re on your side. It’s high time,'” she confessed. Now that her blinders are off, she feels as though he had been subtly encouraging her to leave for years by asserting he didn’t love her. “Because if I depart, then he isn’t the villain since he didn’t choose to walk away.

Several years had passed since the family acquired a 14-acre plot of land intended for construction in Flagstaff, Ariz., but in the season opener, Kody admitted that he was ready to let go of their building dreams. With the need to pay off the entire $820,000 purchase price (a debt they reportedly settled in 2023) before construction could begin, Kody expressed his frustration to wife Robyn Brown, suggesting, “I’d almost prefer to abandon it or sell it and then restart somewhere else.

As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”

In my fervent admiration, I’d like to share a revelation from the heart of Janelle Brown herself. Initially, she shared with TopMob News that our connection was gradually fading. However, it wasn’t just drifting apart; it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards some of our children that truly propelled her to take the difficult step away.

What truly set things in motion for me was when his bond with my kids fractured, and it didn’t appear as if he would go to great lengths to mend it,” the mom shared with Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown. “At that point, I realized that was what had been keeping me rooted here.

In the November 3rd episode, reconciliation was an absolute no-go for Janelle when Kody proposed the idea.

In my heart, I can’t fathom finding common ground or allowing a connection that excludes my precious offspring, so I’ll forever prioritize them over any other relationship.

In my fervor as a dedicated admirer, I’d put it this way: That was Kody’s reasoning behind not exerting more effort to bridge the gaps that were emerging between him and some of his grown children.

In the episode on September 15, he expressed his feelings by 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 also has limited contact with some of the other kids. He then questioned, “With all this, I don’t feel like it’s a family anymore.

In our 14-year journey together, I’ve been fully committed for the first time, yet in a surprising turn, I admitted during the season 19 premiere that our marriage is experiencing its toughest phase. It’s been a challenging period for us. Kody is struggling to identify where the fault lies, whether it’s himself or one of the other wives. He seems to be feeling a lot of rejection and I believe he’s wondering if I might reject him too.

Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m constantly vigilant. I need to frequently ensure he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, she concluded: “There’s no guidance available when it comes to being married to a man who keeps getting divorced.

In the meantime, Kody was grappling with a surge of self-doubt, expressing, “It’s hard for me to stand before the mirror and tell myself sincerely, ‘Kody, I adore you.’

In the October 27 episode, Robyn found it hard to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest phase. She remarked, “They seem to be advancing, while I feel like the one who’s been left behind.

In the show’s premiere, it was mentioned that Kody no longer has a connection with Janelle’s eldest daughter, Madison. As Janelle clarified, there have been no talks between Maddie and her father, neither of them has reached out to the other, and she considers herself disconnected from both Kody and Robin. Essentially, she’s given up on them both.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: In my professional opinion, Kody’s connection with Maddie’s children – Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine – seems to lack depth. Janelle shared that she feels he should only engage if he can fully commit to it.

In the September 22 episode, it was mentioned that Kody had stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush, due to a significant breakdown in their family relationships, as the family unit began to disintegrate.

Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as expressed by Janelle. She has felt that until he can be more reliable, consistent in his appearances, and avoid unnecessary drama, it might be best for everyone if they keep him out of the picture for now.

Moreover, as Robyn has been urging Kody to reconcile, she mentioned that in her opinion, their children ought to extend the same effort as well.

Currently, it appears as if Kody isn’t prepared to mend the rift, expressing frustration that each conversation with his daughter turned into a source of gossip, which he grew weary of.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that Kody had hinted he never truly loved her and felt compelled to marry her. She responded by telling him, “Kody, 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?

She pondered, “Why would a solitary young man opt to marry a solitary young woman if he didn’t initially feel love for her? Isn’t it harsh to select someone from many and then insist, ‘I’ve chosen you, now I’ll try to manipulate myself into loving you for the next 32 years’?

In a private conversation, Kody expressed: “Meri is making some allegations. Well, let her say what she likes. I won’t respond to them.

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

He firmly stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was struggling from the very beginning. His confidence in this statement comes from the fact that he had stronger relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

25 years back, I should have had the courage to walk away from that relationship, but fear kept me bound. The leadership made it clear that abandoning spouses was not an option for those in power; they would never let you remarry if you were casting off wives.

Even though Janelle was unsure whether she’d develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, she knew the first step was clearing the Arizona debt. With Kody refusing to discuss the matter, I feel like I might need legal representation, I confided in ex-sister wife Christine Brown during the September 22 episode. I believe that’s the only way I can possibly extract a decision from him.

In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she hasn’t legally married Kody, “I don’t actually have any legal grounds to assert any kind of claim on Kody’s property.” She elaborated, explaining that unlike a typical divorce scenario, “It’s not as simple as just calling a lawyer and requesting a divorce. The situation is more complex because there’s no legally recognized marriage in the first place.

Kody has chosen not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle because he now lacks trust in her.

He emphasized during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property when necessary, and he chose to keep his strategies hidden because he’s weary of sharing details that get twisted by the 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,” implying that he disclosed confidential information about his past relationships and multiple marriages, which made her feel uncomfortable.

In the days when the family’s affection was growing more abundant instead of waning, they would combine their savings in a shared fund.

In simpler terms, Janelle stated during the September 22 broadcast that we’d go out of our way to assist one person, and then unite to aid the other. This has been the norm for quite some time, but in the last decade or so, it seems like everything has shifted towards personal estates and everyone wanting their own.

When Robyn required a house in Arizona, everyone contributed towards purchasing a luxurious five-bedroom property valued at approximately $1.65 million – it had been on the market since August.

Initially, Robyn mentioned that the property would serve as a benefit for the whole family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage, she encountered resistance. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you know, protect Robyn’s inheritance,” according to Janelle’s memory. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to claim her part 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 remarked, “After all this time collaborating, it seems puzzling to me. With Janelle claiming they owe her funds, she asks, ‘How can this be calculated? How is this figured out?’ It’s such a mystery.

Janelle expressed her frustration about the family’s inability to pay off Coyote Pass, stating that Kody mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she has observed him purchasing items such as trailers and home decorations. She noted the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls, along with various possessions they have. “I see all these things,” she said, acknowledging that she too has spent money on similar items. In response, Kody explained that a significant portion of his funds was used for buying cars and insuring the children.

Janelle admitted that she wasn’t clear about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, but she often marveled at the beauty of Robyn’s backyard. It was always beautifully finished. Additionally, there were always various items at her house, which left Janelle saying, “Wow. Huh.

Essentially, she stated, “He doesn’t seem to value my needs or desires.” Over time, this became a problem that eventually wore her down. She went on to express, “I guess after a while, I started to notice it myself, and even my grown children were becoming increasingly upset about it, as if to say, ‘Mom, what’s going on here?’

Instead, let me rephrase for you: After her first marriage ended, Robyn became diligent about managing her finances closely.

In the past, managing finances wasn’t my strongest suit. My youth was marked by tough times, and it was during my divorce that I truly learned the art of budgeting effectively. As for my fellow sisters-in-law, it seems we prioritized our money differently – that’s all. [This version maintains the original meaning but is written in a more conversational, first-person style.]

Currently, as seen on the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that she and Meri, Robyn, and Kody (parents of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) rarely interact with their families. She doesn’t expect this situation to improve significantly in the near future.

Reflecting on the period when four houses on a single cul-de-sac in Las Vegas represented the pinnacle of my existence, Kody expressed, “Things were running smoothly, and it was wonderful to have Maddie and Caleb nearby. Plus, I held Caleb dear; he truly felt like family.

In Arizona, I found myself at odds with others concerning COVID-19 safety measures, which unfortunately set off a chain reaction in my personal life. As the cracks began to show in my marriages, I couldn’t help but notice that the bond I shared with my children started to weaken as well. It was like a domino effect; once those relationships started going south, there seemed to be no turning back.

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 had been feeling that way long before I departed.” She added, “Leaving did not alter the dynamics of their relationships with him. Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his kids now.

Though it’ll definitely take some work.

Kody shared, “I’ve been hurt by how I’ve been treated, and I haven’t moved past it yet. The issue is, I won’t accept responsibility for things my wife or ex-wife claims I did. I can only hope that with time, the resentment will fade, and we’ll be able to rediscover forgiveness and love.

At their wedding, which took place when Kody was 21 and Meri was 19, both admitted they weren’t particularly well-acquainted with each other, either spiritually or legally. Eventually, they decided to file for divorce in 2014 so that Kody could officially adopt Robyn’s three older children from her previous marriage.

In our wedding, she seemed completely different to me, and I believe there were some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. Initially, I thought I could cope with it. However, as time went on, everything felt like an argument. I can’t bear a life where she is perpetually angry with me.

Despite his desire to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody, a man in a plural marriage, explained that if one wishes to remain faithful and devoted, divorce is not an option. Consequently, he was trapped within that relationship. However, he didn’t long for an exit; instead, he yearned to understand if they could salvage and mend it.

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

In a fair manner, he pointed out, it was understandable that Meri might feel deserted, “However, I didn’t force her to leave. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri decided on their own to have me depart from our shared home.

Even though Janelle and Christine believed that since their union with Kody wasn’t officially recognized as a legal marriage, Meri petitioned their church for a formal separation – known as a “release” – towards the end of 2022.

In the September 22 episode, she clarified that all four of us women had made a commitment to marry Kody through our church. Since it isn’t feasible for all of us to be legally married, we referred to it as a covenant. Given that none of us are pursuing marriage with him any longer, I believe it’s appropriate to end this covenant. I don’t want to remain bound to him eternally if he doesn’t desire me, and so I feel it’s best for us to sever all ties completely.

Kody was hesitant about the concept, as she didn’t feel comfortable submitting to the leadership of the church officials.

Kody made it clear that the harm inflicted was so severe that reconciliation is no longer an option. He further stated, “I don’t wish to answer to this church or their nonsense in terms of accountability. Therefore, I will allow Meri to pursue her own path since if I hold grudges against her, it leads to arguments. Frankly, I just want her to be gone because it took her so long to realize that our relationship has been over for years.

2021 holiday gift exchange conversation among the Brown family took an unpleasant turn for the 18 family members. As Christine explained, “Things turned sour, things fell apart.” It seemed that Kody, Robyn, and their children were on one side, choosing to distance themselves from Janelle, Christine, and their kids. The rift occurred following a heated text exchange.

According to Robyn, her older children expressed that they felt the interaction was not emotionally secure and decided it would be best for them to distance themselves from the relationship for a while. However, she clarified that their decision wasn’t based on cutting off all contact or wanting to end the relationship entirely. Instead, it was more about acknowledging that things had become uncomfortable, as she put it, “It’s just like, ‘Oops, this got messy.’

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

In last week’s episode, I admitted that what I yearn for the most is rekindling my bond with Robyn’s kids once more. Back in middle school, Aurora was the one I enjoyed spending time with the most. High school saw me making an effort to connect with Dayton regularly. However, I must confess, I’m not optimistic about forging a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Aurora emphasized that she was told repeatedly and from various sources, both before and after her mother married Kody in 2010, that she wasn’t welcomed into the family, that they didn’t view her as their sister.

Her sister, Breanna, expressed that she believed the parents might’ve made more effort to foster our family bonding, but it seemed like such connections were never truly established.

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

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

Simultaneously, 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 period: “We faced tough times, and my children felt exasperated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as dearly.

Speaking passionately about the freedom it offers, Janelle described plural marriage as “a fantastic setup where you’re part of this incredible family network, yet you also have a strong connection with your partner. You enjoy all the benefits that come with this relationship, and at the same time, you retain your independence. For me, having multiple spouses was an exceptional arrangement.

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

In his view, shared during the December 1st broadcast, polygamy undermines emotional intimacy. He explained that it creates a defensive environment, and what he desires is an emotionally open, intimate bond with a woman. However, such a connection isn’t easily forged in a polygamous relationship.

According to Janelle’s account, Kody found it more challenging to share his affection following the family’s move from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

On the September 29th episode, it was observed that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to distance himself. 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’d respond by saying, “You can rest just as effectively at my house as you can at Robyn’s.” This implies that he should not use fatigue as an excuse for avoiding our meetings.

As a dedicated follower, I’d express it this way: “My children were often reprimanded when they ventured into Robyn’s refrigerator. For my kids, the problem wasn’t just that Robyn was their dad’s partner; it was the fact that he wasn’t physically present in our 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 difficult to accept us. We simply yearned to belong within this family,” she shared.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his fellow siblings made significant efforts to welcome them into their group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn may have a tendency to view herself as a victim. To put it simply, this is his perspective. It’s important to note that he doesn’t place blame on her for this. Instead, he suggests that each person has their own strategies for coping and surviving in life.

Yet, he added, “If she genuinely thinks that we were unfairly treating her or her children while she was receiving preferential treatment from Dad and we were making efforts to build a rapport with them, if she truly believes this, then it’s impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Robyn in the future.

As a devoted follower, I can share my personal experience: Growing up with my father moving among four separate households indeed left an impact on me and my 18 siblings, as I expressed during the September 29 broadcast. I vividly remember one instance when my youngest daughter Ariella, born in January 2016, held onto my leg tightly as I tried to depart, illustrating the emotional bond that developed from our shared experiences.

In his own words, Kody expressed, “I had to tell her, ‘There’s another woman who needs me, another mother for my children. I have other kids who need me too,'” portraying the difficulty he felt. However, as she clung to him and cried, “Don’t leave me, Daddy, don’t leave me,” he found himself saying, “Goodness, this is tough.

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

She clarified right from the start, her children “were aware that their father wouldn’t always be present.” Over time, she felt that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He would often have to return home after three or four days because Ari became so upset. To her, this seemed like a lack of responsible parenting. Throughout history, the other kids had handled similar situations and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Among the relatively small group of children with a Brown surname, Mykelti maintained relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and Janelle. In the midst of Kody’s divorces, Mykelti assumed the role of mediator or peacemaker.

From the instant Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti graciously asked her to attend the delivery of her twins in November 2022 – namely, Archer and Ace.

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn became part of our family, I was still trying to understand myself better. Robyn made me feel unique and understood, she was someone who was there for me at a time when I needed support, and someone who listened to me, loved me.

Christine’s mother was overjoyed beyond words. As Robyn joined their family and it became clear that she and Mykelti shared a strong bond, Christine expressed her feelings during the Oct. 6 episode: “I had always hoped for this kind of relationship among my children with other mothers in our plural family.

Kody believes it isn’t just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; instead, he thinks they are intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he claims he didn’t commit. He expressed this perspective during the October 6th episode, discussing his strained relationship with some of his older children due to his estrangement. Essentially, Kody feels that his guilt stems from not having fallen deeply in love with their mothers.

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

He stated that the strain in his relationships with his kids is predominantly a product of negative chatter in his mind. Essentially, he feels that the turmoil from the family splitting up has led to a cycle of disappointment, and it’s as if he’s being blamed for the problems, with the implication being that he was at fault.

However, although some responsibility can be attributed to him, he strongly dislikes the insults. In fact, he openly expressed his difficulties in bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Kody admitted that one of his children replied to a text message by calling him “trash” and stating they would never talk to him again.

Or, more casually:

He acknowledges some blame, but he hates the name-calling. To be clear, Kody confessed that one of his kids responded to a text with something like, “You’re trash; I won’t ever speak to you again.” This was an indication of the strained relationship between him and his children.

In another occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re quite inconsiderate. I will no longer speak to you. You’ve manipulated and indoctrinated me.’

He’s unwilling to handle the venom any longer, as he stated, “I won’t keep extending a hand forever.” He believes it’s his grown-ups who should take more responsibility in resolving issues. “I’m ready to put forth effort,” he said, “but someone else needs to reciprocate and make an effort too.

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 divorced when she was very young. At that time, her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived alone. One day, she bravely confronted her biological father about the situation, asking him questions like “What happened? Why weren’t you there for me when I was younger?” Unfortunately, all he offered were weak explanations that didn’t provide any comfort or understanding. It was a tough time in her life.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded feelings impede his efforts, it was clear that she wasn’t going to let them stand in the way. During their heated confrontation, captured on camera towards the end of 2022, she expressed, “I find it difficult not to feel like I’m losing a bit of respect for you.

Although Kody admitted that he might need to do more to repair his relationship with his children, he emphasized the importance of healing his own heart before taking any action.

He expressed his frustration by stating, “Some of my children seem to be conspiring against me. I’m so upset about the situation that when I interact with them, I fear they might provoke me with accusations. At this moment, I’m too emotionally charged and could potentially make things worse instead.

At the wedding of Logan and Michelle Petty, Janelle and Kody’s eldest child, in October 2022, there seemed to be a lot of family members present; however, their affection appeared to be somewhat absent.

In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his frustration to Robyn, saying he noticed Madison hurriedly taking her children away 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 upset because she didn’t tell him she was expecting.

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

Maddie doesn’t have any relationship with him. She takes great care of her kids, and Kody hasn’t been around since Evie was born over three years ago. Maddie didn’t want him to suddenly appear and claim to be their grandpa without them knowing who he was.

Kody expressed that it’s not practical for grandparents to be constantly involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie as an example since she resides in North Carolina. He explained this further by stating that if one moves their children across the entire coast, they have work and personal commitments in Flagstaff, making regular involvement challenging.

It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up children hold contrasting perspectives on their prolonged separation. However, a point of contention seems to be Kody insisting on an admission of wrongdoing or apology from him.

Following the easing of COVID-related concerns and our return to daily routines, I found that family reconciliation remained elusive due to Kody’s belief that my sons needed to express their apologies – particularly to Robyn – for past incidents. Over time, this request transformed into a desire for them to simply converse with me about these matters.

In summary, Kody was upset because he felt his children hadn’t remained loyal to him, and he felt that the most cherished member of their family, who had given so much love and devotion, had been disregarded or treated poorly, which he found unacceptable. When Kody expressed this, Janelle responded with a dismissive tone, saying something along the lines of, “Well, Kody, whatever you say.

In my own words, Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment as he recalled a conversation with his father. He mentioned that his father would constantly imply he owed him an apology. After some time, I told him, “Unless you’re genuinely ready to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t be having any conversations.” A few days later, he texted me back, saying he had been considering my words. He asked for forgiveness, stating that he forgave me. My response was, “Forgive me for what exactly?

Among his six children with Janelle, Kody primarily maintains contact only with his youngest daughter, Savanah. Their interactions are not frequent, but he reaches out to her approximately every couple of months for a get-together. The other children do not have much of a relationship or connection with him. [Janelle explained this during the Oct. 13 episode.]

Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she perceives her four elder brothers as assuming a more paternal role. Already, Savannah has shared with Janelle that she might ask her brothers to escort her during her future wedding ceremony.

Janelle shared, “I’ve discussed it with Savanah, and she expressed, ‘Here’s the thing, this is the kind of man he is.’ She explained that he’ll be a dad who joins us for fun times but isn’t always around. She understands him as he is, and she’s accepting of it.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving.

She expressed her disappointment with Kody, saying, ‘I’m really fed up.’ She’s observed a pattern in her professional life: ‘Women I know have divorced, only for the children’s father to disappear afterward.’

In the initial stages of their estrangement, “Gabriel found it particularly tough since Kody often invited Gabriel along on his business travels.” According to Janelle, she pointed out that Kody had been a highly involved father until quite recently.

Although Gabriel is puzzled about what could have made his father angry, during the October 13 episode, he expressed, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and refuses to take responsibility, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely content with that decision.

In her words, he finds comfort knowing his father isn’t part of his life. Ideally, I wish the same for all my children, and I believe they are slowly understanding this too.

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

He expressed his regret for how Gabriel seems, adding that he has attempted to reach out to him several times but hasn’t been successful. However, this isn’t because I didn’t make an effort.

In late 2022, it was Meri who sought and obtained what their church refers to as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason, marking the official end of their marital relationship, although she may have been Kody’s last wife to depart.

On the October 13th episode, she pointed out that he dislikes that particular word, as he perceives it implies abandonment, which he denies having done to her. Instead, she believes he has.

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

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