As a seasoned observer of human relationships, I find myself deeply saddened by the state of affairs within the Brown family. The story of Kody Brown and his wives is a tragic testament to the complexities and pitfalls of polygamy, a practice that has been romanticized in popular culture but often fails to deliver on its promises of love, companionship, and harmony.
The atmosphere became noticeably tense during the November 10th installment of Sister Wives, as Kody Brown’s former partners, Janelle Brown and Meri Brown, confronted each other directly.
In the midst of her persistent issues with Kody, particularly those involving his sole remaining wife Robyn Brown, regarding their shared Coyote Pass property, Janelle believed it was her responsibility to share with Meri the potential financial consequences stemming from Kody’s decision not to settle the property debt.
If we fail to meet the deadline, which is 75 days from now, he might take everything away,” Janelle cautioned Meri, who separated from Kody in 2022 after three decades, emphasizing, “It’s something that could be lost.
Despite Meri’s assurance to Janelle, “I’m not concerned about that,” this statement seemed to trigger a fresh insight for Janelle. More specifically, it made her reconsider how she is viewed within their now-estranged joint family.
Janelle expressed in her private thoughts that she’s starting to suspect Kody claims he’s not the one managing our finances and instead, it’s me. But let me tell you, if that were true, our financial situation would look much better.
Indeed, it appeared that Meri was endorsing Janelle’s suspicions. She shared with Janelle, “For quite a while now, I’ve held the belief that you’ve been managing our family’s financial affairs.
Later on, Janelle mentioned that Kody, who separated from his former partner Christine Brown in 2021, has been acting as though he can’t afford to pay off Coyote Pass for quite some time now. She alleged that he often states he lacks the funds for this purpose.
Janelle suggested to Meri that if they had made it a priority, there would have been funds available all along.
Nevertheless, while Janelle is anxious about Meri’s financial well-being, it appears that Meri does not share the same concern regarding Kody and Robyn’s reliability in handling their trust.
Meri expressed her opinion that no protection is truly necessary,” she said to Janelle. “Weren’t we always looking out for each other in this regard?
But Janelle disagreed, saying, “No, I really don’t.”
While Janelle made it clear she supports Meri, Kody’s first wife feels Meri is safe from any issues with her ex and Robyn. In fact, she prefers to avoid getting involved in the escalating conflict entirely.
In a private moment, Meri expressed that everyone in the family seems to have their own views regarding the other person and the recent financial matters. She’s unsure who is correct in their assessments. She won’t choose a side or align with any group, such as the ‘ex-wives club.’ She also made it clear she doesn’t consider herself part of Kody and Robyn’s group.
The “very awkward” conversation doesn’t end with any resolution for Janelle as she tells Meri, “I feel like I better protect myself,” to which Meri simply laments, “Sorry that you feel like that.”
For more bombshells from the current season of Sister Wives, read on.
Kody Brown expressed his readiness to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, soon after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, according to Meri, he gave her the impression that he would address their issues by saying, “Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a good opportunity for us to start anew.” This was during their relocation in 2018. Meri implied that Kody had given her false hope on numerous occasions throughout their marriage.
She openly discussed her primary concern: his inconsistent communication about his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, as well as the narrative he has maintained throughout the years.
Initially, Kody conceded that his actions could have sent ambiguous signals. However, as he delved into the tasks at hand, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point of doing this?” he clarified. Essentially, he stated that he would not pursue a relationship with her currently.
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 now, we’re here to help. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing the veil, she now believes that he had been encouraging her to depart for years by asserting he didn’t cherish her, “Since if he could make me depart and I do so, he wouldn’t be the villain because he didn’t walk away.
Several years following their acquisition of a 14-acre property intended for construction in Flagstaff, Ariz., Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was ready to see the dream fade away. Due to the necessity of paying off the entire $820,000 cost before construction could commence (a debt the family supposedly settled by 2023), he confided in 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.”
Earlier on, Janelle Brown expressed to TopMob News that the relationship between them had been gradually drifting apart. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards some of their children that eventually led her to make the decision to part ways.
“The turning point for me was when his relationship with my kids went sour, and it didn’t appear he would go to great lengths to mend it. At that moment, I realized that was what had been keeping me here.
In the November 3rd episode, Kody’s proposal for reconciliation was met with firm refusal by Janelle.
She stated, “I struggle to find a way to rebuild our relationship without him being excluded from my children’s lives.” However, her priority remains clear: “I will always put my children first.
Kody provided a reason as to why he wasn’t putting more effort into repairing the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids.
In last week’s broadcast, I shared my feelings about no longer feeling part of our family unit. Despite being legally married to Robyn, sharing the responsibility of raising our five beautiful children – Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon, and Ariella – I find myself having limited contact with some of the other children as well. This disconnection leaves me questioning my role and belonging within this dynamic. It’s not feeling like a family anymore, and I’m left wondering how to navigate these new circumstances.
In this unique phase of our 14-year journey together, I find myself admitting that we’ve encountered challenges unlike any we’ve faced before. The season 19 premiere saw me confessing that it’s been a difficult period for us. Our relationship has been strained, and Kody seems to be grappling with the question of who is responsible – himself or one of the other wives. It appears that he feels a great deal of rejection, which in turn makes him wonder if I might reject him too.
In essence, I find myself in a state of vigilance, constantly ensuring he doesn’t undermine our bond. The most challenging aspect for me is the lack of guidance when it comes to dealing with the reality that I’m married to a man who’s going through multiple divorces.
Meanwhile, Kody found himself grappling with a surge of self-doubt, stating, “I just can’t bring myself to tell that reflection, ‘Hey, pal. I adore you.’
In the October 27 episode, Robyn expressed that it felt like everyone else had progressed while she was still caught up in the past, likening herself to someone who was left behind as others moved forward.
Include Madison, Janelle’s oldest child, on the list of children Kody does not currently maintain a relationship with. As explained during the premiere, “Maddie hasn’t had any contact with her father,” said Janelle. “He hasn’t called, she hasn’t reached out to him, and there is no connection between them. Essentially, she has cut both of them off.
Regarding the matter at hand, I, as a dedicated follower, find that Kody is maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. Essentially, he is not fully committed, and Maddie feels that any contact should only occur if he can make a firm commitment to it.
Consequently, during the September 22 episode, Kody essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to fall apart.
Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as Janelle put it. She feels that until he can reliably visit, avoid drama, and show up consistently, it might be best for everyone if they keep his presence somewhat obscured.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to take steps to repair their relationship. She expressed, “It seems to me that the children should also make an effort to bridge the gap as well.
Currently, it appears Kody isn’t quite prepared to bridge the gap. He finds their conversations are more like gossip-mongering, which has become tiresome for him.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that Kody had implied he never truly loved her and felt pressured to marry her. Meri then replied, “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?
When a young man encounters a young woman who’s also single, one might wonder why he would decide to marry her if he didn’t feel love for her initially. It seems unfair, doesn’t it? To select someone from a group and then say, ‘I choose you, hoping to eventually grow to love you for the next three decades’?
In a private conversation, Kody stated, “Meri is making some allegations. Well, she can say whatever pleases her. I won’t be addressing them.
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
He emphatically stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was always in trouble. He explained this by saying, “I had a much stronger bond with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, so I can see the issues more clearly.
He admitted he “should have gotten out of the relationship 25 years ago,” but he stayed out of fear, noting, “Leadership will never allow you to marry again if you’re discarding wives.”
Though she was undecided on if she’d like to build on Coyote Pass or simply sell it off, Janelle noted that step one was paying off the Arizona property. And with Kody unwilling to talk to her about the situation, “I think I’m going to have to lawyer up,” she confessed to former sister wife Christine Brown in the Sept. 22 episode. “Because I think that’s the only way I’m ever going to get any kind of decision out of him.”
In my perspective as an ardent admirer, let me express it this way: “I, being without the formal bond of a legal marriage to Kody, understand that I hold no legal grounds to assert any claim on his property. It’s not as simple as picking up the phone and requesting a divorce lawyer. No, it’s far more intricate due to the absence of a legally recognized union.
As a devoted follower, I find myself in a position where I’ve chosen not to discuss our shared Arizona property with Janelle because I’ve lost the trust I once had in her.
He firmly stated during the September 22 episode that we will settle the property when necessary, and he doesn’t want to share any details about his actions or plans because he’s grown tired of revealing information that gets distorted by the rumor mill within our fractured family.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She confided, “He seems to blab everything, like water flowing through a colander, regarding details about his previous relationships and multiple spouses. Frankly, it feels inappropriate for him to share those things with me.
In days gone by, when the family’s affection continued to grow instead of wane, they would combine their funds in a single savings pot.
In simpler terms, Janelle said during the September 22nd episode that we’d do everything possible to assist one individual, and afterward, we’d unite to aid another. This has been our approach for quite some time, until around the last decade or so. Suddenly, it seems like it’s more about personal wealth, and everyone wants their own fortune.
When Robyn required a house in Arizona, everyone contributed towards purchasing her $1.65 million five-bedroom property, which had been on the market since August.
Robyn believed it would benefit the entire family to own the property, as she stated. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be co-signers on the mortgage, her suggestion was turned down. Kody responded by saying, “No, no, we must safeguard, understandably protecting Robyn’s estate,” Janelle recounted. As Janelle is now leaving the family, she expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also recover some of the funds she invested in Robyn’s house.
But that could be a tough sell.
Robyn remarked, “After all this time collaborating, it’s just baffling to me.” And when Janelle mentioned she was due some compensation from them, Robyn expressed, “I can’t even wrap my head around it. How do you compute that? How do you arrive at that figure? It’s such a puzzle.
Janelle expressed frustration over Coyote Pass not being paid off, as she’s observed Kody accumulating other expenses such as trailers and home decor. She mentioned the artwork adorning Robyn and Kody’s home, stating that she’s also noticed various possessions in their house. “I see all these things,” she said, adding that while she understands spending money on items, she too has done so. (Kody defended himself by explaining that a large portion of his funds were used for purchasing vehicles and insuring the children.)
Janelle admitted that she wasn’t clear about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, but she often marveled at the luxuriousness of Robyn’s backyard and the abundance of items in her home. It left her wondering, “Wow. Really?
Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t seem to value her needs or desires, which over time became a significant concern for her. Her grown children also grew increasingly frustrated with this situation, expressing confusion and disappointment, as if to say, “Mom, what’s going on here?
Robyn’s perspective was that she became extremely cautious with her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.
During the Sept. 22 episode, she confessed, “I wasn’t so good with managing money in the past.” Growing up, she faced financial difficulties and it was only after her divorce that she learned to budget wisely. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she noted, “It seems like your spending priorities were different from mine, that’s all.
Currently, as shown in 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) seldom interact with their families. She expressed doubts that this situation will significantly improve in the near future.
Speaking fondly about their time together on a cul-de-sac in Las Vegas, which he described as the peak of his life, Kody expressed, “Things were running smoothly, Maddie and Caleb were present and it was delightful having them around. I genuinely adored Caleb; he truly felt like family.
In Arizona, disagreements arose concerning COVID-19 safety measures, which ultimately led to a disintegration of order. Following this, he shared that as his marriages deteriorated, so too did his connections with the children: “It caused all our relationships to become bitter.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
She stated during the September 22nd broadcast, “The children who felt frustrated had been feeling that way long before I departed.” In other words, her departure did not affect their relationship with Kody. He has the ability to mend his relationships with his own kids.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody expressed his feelings, saying he’s deeply hurt by how he’s been wronged and hasn’t been able to move past it yet. He clarified that he’s not willing to accept blame for things his wife or ex-wife is accusing him of. He hopes that one day the bitterness will fade, allowing them to find forgiveness and love again.
At the ages of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri admitted that they weren’t particularly well-acquainted with each other when they got married, both spiritually and legally. (They eventually chose to divorce in 2014 so that Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage.)
In our wedding, she seemed quite different, and I believe there were some issues from her past (baggage) that I wasn’t aware of initially. At first, I thought I could cope with it. However, as time went on, he stated everything was a struggle because “I can’t endure a life where she is consistently upset with me.
Despite his desire to depart, he couldn’t manage to do so. Kody, who is part of a plural marriage, stated that if one wants to remain faithful and devoted to their faith, they can’t ask for a divorce. It’s prohibited. Consequently, I was trapped in that relationship. However, it wasn’t that I yearned to escape the relationship entirely. What I longed for was an answer as to whether we could salvage and repair it instead.
Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were in each other’s company, Kody explained, “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 find myself growing tired.
He acknowledged that it might seem like Meri was left behind, but he clarified that it wasn’t him who asked her to depart; instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri were the ones who made the choice for him to leave our shared residence.
Even though Janelle and Christine believed they didn’t require a divorce from Kody since their union wasn’t legally recognized, it was Meri who petitioned their church for an official separation, which is known as a “release,” towards the end of 2022.
In the recent episode on September 22nd, she clarified that all four of us had ‘married’ Kody through our church. Although we couldn’t legally marry him, it was more like a sacred agreement, or covenant, for us. Since none of us are moving towards a legal marriage with him anymore, and I don’t want to be bound to him eternally if he doesn’t feel the same, I believe it’s best for us to completely sever this bond.
Kody was hesitant about the concept, she mentioned, preferring not to recognize or submit to the power held by the church’s leaders.
Kody clarified his position: “The harm was so extensive that reconciliation isn’t an option anymore, no matter the circumstances. As for our accountability to God, I don’t wish to be answerable to this church and its complications. So, I plan to grant Meri her freedom to live as she chooses because if I’m upset with her, it leads to conflict. Essentially, I want her to move on because it has taken her a long time to acknowledge that this situation is settled and over for quite some time.
2021 holiday gift exchange discussions among the 18 Brown offspring took an unpleasant turn, as Christine explained. “Things deteriorated, things went wrong,” she said, describing the situation. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, stood on one side, while Janelle, me, and our kids were not included in their plans. A rift developed following this text conversation.
Robyn explained that her older children perceived the interaction as uncomfortable and felt it necessary to distance themselves from the relationship temporarily. However, she clarified that they did not express a desire to cut off all contact or end their relationship completely, instead, they indicated that things had become unpleasant for them.
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
In the October 13 episode, he openly admitted that what he yearns for most is rekindling a relationship with Robyn’s children. During middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he often attempted to connect with Dayton. However, he expressed no optimism regarding a relationship with their father and Robyn.
Aurora made it clear that she had been informed repeatedly by various individuals and situations since her mother married Kody in 2010, that she was not welcomed into the family. She emphasized that they did not view her as a sister, neither did they perceive her in such a manner.
Her sister Breanna expressed that she believes the parents might have made more effort to strengthen our familial bond, but unfortunately, that connection was not established effectively.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
As a devoted follower, I’d put it this way: “Robyn’s children and Robyn are always welcome everywhere,” I emphatically stated. “Feel free to drop by our home whenever you feel like it.
In addition, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for a period: “There were challenging times, and my children felt irritated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just the same.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Janelle described plural marriage as “an extraordinary family setup where one is deeply connected to an incredible community. You have a husband who you share a wonderful bond with, and you maintain your independence too. For me, this form of marriage offered a fantastic 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 noted that when Kody moved to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to be apart. Occasionally, she had to remind him to visit her place. He often tried to decline by saying he was fatigued, but she pointed out, “I understand you’re tired. It’s just as easy to rest at my house as it is at Robyn’s.
Janelle expressed that her children were often reprimanded for venturing into Robyn’s refrigerator, which sheds light on their sense of separation from Robyn. On the other hand, Christine’s kids perceived the issue as being rooted in the fact that they observed Robyn and their father as a couple, but he was not present within their home.
And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.
She mentioned that Meri welcomed her children and herself warmly, but the rest of the family found it difficult to embrace them. What they truly desired was to belong within this family, as she expressed on September 29th.
However, Gabriel might contend that he and his fellow siblings made considerable efforts to integrate them into their group.
In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn seems to have a tendency to view herself as a victim. To put it simply, he’s suggesting this, and I don’t necessarily hold her responsible for it. Instead, I believe that various individuals develop unique strategies to help them navigate their lives.
Yet, he further explained, “If it is truly her conviction that we mistreated her or her children while she was receiving special favor from Dad and we were striving to build a bond with her kids, if she genuinely believes this, then there’s no prospect of me maintaining a relationship with Robyn.
As a lifestyle expert, I can relate when Kody shares about how the constant movement between four homes impacted his 18 children, a story he recently shared during the September 29 episode. There was an instance that particularly touched me – the time when little Ariella, born in January 2016 and the youngest of Kody and Robyn’s children, held onto my leg tightly as I tried to depart. It’s moments like these that highlight the challenges faced by families in such situations.
Kody expressed, “‘I had to tell her that I have another wife and children who need me. Another woman needs me to be a husband and mother.’ She clung to me, begging, ‘Don’t leave me, Daddy, don’t leave me.’ It’s tough for me to deal with this.
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 around. I’ve consistently felt that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He couldn’t be absent for more than three or four days because Ari gets so downhearted. To me, it seemed like a lack of good parenting. Throughout family history, the other kids have managed to cope with such absences and they’ve grown up to be well-balanced adults.
Among the rare young individuals of Brown descent, Mykelti maintained relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and Janelle, her mother of three. During Kody’s marital dissolutions, it was Mykelti who stepped into the role of mediator to maintain harmony among them all.
From the instant Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti warmly welcomed her so much that she asked her to be present during the delivery of her twins in November 2022 – specifically for Archer and Ace.
During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still figuring out my identity. Robyn helped me feel valued and understood. When I needed someone, she was there. She listened to me, cared for me when I needed it most.
Christine couldn’t have been more delighted when Robyn joined their family and it was clear that she and Mykelti had a wonderful bond. On the Oct. 6 episode, Christine expressed this joy by saying, “I dreamed of having a large family, and I hoped that my children would develop strong relationships with other mothers. Well, it seems like my dreams are coming true!
In my own words, I feel it’s not just my spouses who have chosen to distance me from their lives. It seems they are deliberately excluding me as a form of retribution for a crime I did not commit. During the October 6 episode, I shared my perspective on my estrangement from some of my older children. Essentially, I am only culpable for not reciprocating an intense, romantic love towards their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
He expressed that the strain in his connection with his children is mainly due to negative remarks about him. Essentially, he feels that the family’s dissolution has left a whirlwind of disillusionment, which he describes as a tendency to assign blame towards him because of perceived mistakes he made.
However, although he accepts some responsibility, he strongly objects to the insults. In particular, expressing his difficulties in bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, Kody disclosed that one of his children replied to a message by saying, “You are wasteful rubbish. I would never talk to you again anyway.
In another occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently stated, ‘You are unkind. I’ll no longer speak with you. You have deceived me and indoctrinated me.’
He mentioned that he won’t continue addressing the issue indefinitely, as it’s a struggle he’s not eager to handle. “I’ll put forth an effort,” he said, emphasizing his belief that adults should take more responsibility for resolving matters. “I’m ready to make a move, but someone else needs to step up and reciprocate the effort.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
During the October 6th episode, she shared that when she was a child, her parents went through a divorce. At that time, her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived on her own. She recalled asking him about the situation, “Why did this happen? Why weren’t you there for me?” He offered weak explanations instead of providing answers, which left her feeling disappointed.
She wasn’t going to let Kody’s hurt feelings hinder his attempts, as she expressed during their heated confrontation in late 2022, “I have to admit, it’s difficult not to feel like I’m losing a bit of respect for you.
Despite recognizing that he could put in more effort to repair his relationships with his children, Kody admitted that he felt the need to heal his own heart first.
Expressing his frustration, he admitted that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him. He explained, “I’m so enraged by the situation that whenever I interact with my kids, I fear they might accuse me, which could further escalate the tension. At this moment, I’m too emotional and may only make things worse.
Despite many members of the family being present at Janelle and Kody’s eldest son Logan’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, it seemed that they didn’t share much affection during the event.
In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison whisking her children away from him. He pointed out that his daughter hadn’t shared with him the news about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. In simpler terms, he said she didn’t tell him she was expecting a child.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
Janelle clarified the reason her daughter Maddie avoided Kody at the wedding: “Maddie has no relationship with him,” she said. “She values her kids a lot and wants to shield them from any potential confusion. Kody hasn’t been around since Evie was born, three-and-a-half years ago, and Maddie didn’t want him to suddenly appear and claim to be their grandfather, leaving the children puzzled.
Kody expressed that it’s impractical to expect grandparents to constantly be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie’s situation in North Carolina as an example. He added that if one moves their children to a completely different coast, maintaining such a relationship can become challenging due to personal commitments and work obligations in Flagstaff.
It appears that there is a significant disagreement between Kody and his grown-up kids regarding their current rift, as one issue they struggle with is him insisting on some form of apology from them.
Once the COVID threat subsided and everyone returned to their usual routines, there was still a rift within our family that Janelle found difficult to bridge. According to her, Kody’s sons needed to apologize, particularly to Robyn, because of something that had transpired. However, as it developed further, she felt they just needed to have a conversation with her.” (Oct. 13 episode)
In Janelle’s words, what troubled Kody was the sense that his children hadn’t remained faithful to him, and moreover, the person who had given so much love and devotion in their family had been treated disrespectfully or insensitively, as she put it. And her response was essentially, “Well, Kody, I don’t know. Whatever.
Gabriel held a comparable viewpoint, as he narrated his interaction with his father. “He persistently conveyed that I owed him an apology,” he told Janelle. “In time, I responded, ‘Unless you’re truly prepared to engage in a relationship and mend things, we won’t talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He said, ‘Hey, I’ve been contemplating your words. I forgive you, Please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what?’
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, he primarily maintains contact only with their youngest daughter, Savanah. While it’s not often, approximately every two months he reaches out to her for a meeting. The rest of their kids don’t seem to have much of a relationship or connection with him. (Janelle explained this in the Oct. 13 episode)
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in the year 2023, it seems her four elder brothers have assumed a paternal role in her life. In fact, she has shared with Janelle her intention to involve her siblings in her future wedding, possibly asking them to escort her down the aisle someday.
In conversation with Savannah, she expressed, “It’s become clear to me that this is the kind of father he will be – he’ll join us for some great times but may not always be around. I understand his situation and it’s alright.” This is how Janelle put it.
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her disappointment towards Kody, stating, ‘I’ve witnessed similar situations before. Many women I’ve collaborated with throughout my career ended up divorced, only to find that the children’s father vanished afterwards.’
Initially, when a strain occurred between them, Gabriel found it particularly tough since Kody often invited Gabriel along on his business travels. In simpler terms, Kody had been an actively involved father until relatively recently, as explained by Janelle.
Although Gabriel is puzzled about what he might have done to upset his father, during the Oct. 13 episode, he declared, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and can’t accept responsibility, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely content with that decision.
In her own words, she expressed that he finds comfort in his father being absent from his life. Furthermore, it’s a wish I have for all my children, and I believe they are all gradually understanding this sentiment.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed his apologies for how Gabriel seems, revealing in a private moment that he has attempted to reach out to him several times, yet those attempts were met with rejection. However, this was not due to any lack of effort on his end.
It’s possible that Meri was the final spouse to depart from Kody, but she legally ended their relationship in late 2022 by obtaining what their church terms as a release, based on allegations of abandonment.
On the October 13th installment, I observed and took note of his dislike for that particular term. You see, it’s not about him feeling as though he abandoned me; instead, it’s more about him not identifying with such a notion. In my perspective, however, I believe he did.
In reality, she believes he didn’t pay much attention to her until she chose to depart, at which point it seemed like he was trying to claim innocence by saying, “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 on a while back, but felt apprehensive about telling her the truth because of his fear of her reaction. The reason for his concern was that Meri was never loyal to him throughout their relationship, which is what made him anxious. It’s also about preserving one’s reputation since getting divorced often leads to a tarnished image.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
She expressed her disappointment by saying, “It’s truly unfortunate how Kody is discussing our marriage now. It seems his perspective has shifted, yet the things he tells others about me, which they accept as truth, are actually untrue.
Before Christina parted ways with Kody, it became apparent that they didn’t make a suitable pair according to the assessment suggested by their marriage therapist based in Las Vegas.
Christine outlined the characteristics she desired in a partner, which included being an effective communicator, being actively involved in her life and that of her children, and finding her attractive.
