Sister Wives’ Meri and Janelle Fear Kody Brown’s Explosive Wrath Amid Property Drama!

by

Some of the Sister Wives want to divide and conquer the end of their relationships.

In 2022, both Meri Brown and Janelle Brown publicly ended their long-term union with Kody Brown. However, they’re still navigating the division of their shared assets with their former spouse, as documented in their ongoing reality series on TLC.

During the April 27th episode of “Sister Wives”, Meri expressed her discomfort by saying, “It’s just dreadful to consider needing a lawyer. But my words seem to be unheard.” Later, she shared her concerns with Janelle, “I’m worried about the backlash we might face.

As a dedicated fan of Leon, who’s 27 and shares his life with Kody, I can’t help but feel that my ex-husband intentionally sidestepped our discussions about our shared property. However, I remain optimistic that one day, Janelle and I might have the chance to sit down together with Kody and his only remaining spouse, Robyn Brown, for a heartfelt conversation.

In the episode, Meri stated, ‘If we could only sit down and discuss as a group, something like, ‘This seems fair. We collectively invested money intended for our family, so it’s only right that we receive our share.’ Meri emphasized that Kody and Robyn should not solely benefit from contributions made by others or keep everything to themselves.

Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that Kody, having parted ways with his former spouse, Christine Brown, in 2021 following a 25-year marriage, perceives the bond between Meri and Janelle in a distinct manner.

The 56-year-old remarked on the program, ‘They continuously criticize something they helped contribute to their family.’ Everyone tends to do that. Robyn used her house earnings to cover family debts. It’s a common situation when working together in a family, and everyone is making sacrifices; it can be quite challenging.

He stated, “Someone covered these costs and someone else covered those. We’re all collaborating, and then you choose to separate. But if everyone is leaving, then so am I. So, are you asking me to keep what was once Robyn’s property and take from that? The only possessions I have are the ones that were previously hers.

However, despite their differences, Janelle – mother to six of Kody’s children – pointed out a perceived inconsistency which, if addressed, could potentially halt the ongoing conflicts among them.

If he genuinely lived up to the ideals he taught our boys about being a true gentleman,” she said to Meri, “he’d behave fairly in this situation.

Kody Brown expressed his intention to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as shared during the Sept. 15 premiere, “Kody gave me reason to hope that he would address our issues by saying, ‘Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be an opportunity for a fresh start for us.'” This statement, Meri noted, was similar to how Kody had led her on for many years.

She expressed her primary concern as being his inadequate communication, specifically about his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, along with the narrative he has maintained over the years.

Kody admitted that his actions might have sent confusing signals, but as he began working on different tasks, he found himself questioning why he would continue with those actions. In other words, he stated that he wouldn’t pursue a romantic relationship or courtship with her at this point.

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

She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘Yes, we’re here for you, offering our support. It’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now realizes that he had been trying to encourage her to leave him for years by claiming he didn’t love her, “Because if I choose to depart, he won’t appear as the villain since he didn’t walk away himself.

Ever since our family acquired that 14-acre piece of land in Flagstaff, Ariz., way back when, I’ve been holding onto a dream. However, in the recent season opener, I admitted that I was prepared to watch this dream fade away. The reason? We hadn’t managed to fully pay off the $820,000 price tag, a debt we supposedly settled in 2023. In conversation with my remaining wife, Robyn Brown, I found myself yearning for an alternative. “I’d almost rather abandon it or sell it,” I said, “and then start fresh somewhere else.

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

Previously, Janelle Brown explained to TopMob News that the relationship between them had been gradually fading away. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent to some of their children that ultimately led to her decision to part ways.

In simpler terms, the mom told Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown that the turning point for her was when his relationship with her children deteriorated to a point where it didn’t appear he would go to great lengths to mend it. This realization made her understand that this was the factor keeping her there.

In the November 3rd episode, it was absolutely off the table for Janelle when Kody suggested making up again.

She expressed that it seems impossible for her to make peace with him and allow him to be part of her children’s lives. However, she has made it clear that she will prioritize her children above all else.

Kody provided the reason behind him not making more effort to repair the strained relationships with some of his grown-up kids, due to the issues they were having.

In the episode on September 15th, he expressed his feelings of not belonging in the family anymore. 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 mentioned having occasional relationships with some other children. He found himself wondering how to navigate this complex situation, as it didn’t feel like a traditional family dynamic to him.

For the past 14 years, I’ve been genuinely committed to my marriage, yet in this season, I find myself confessing that we seem to be experiencing our most challenging period. It’s been a difficult time for us, and Kody appears to be grappling with feelings of rejection. He’s uncertain whether it’s his own actions or the other wives causing the strain. This uncertainty seems to have led him to question if I might reject him too.

Due to the situation, she admitted, “I’m always alert. I’m constantly checking to ensure he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, she concluded: “There’s little support available when it comes to being married to a man who is going through multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody struggled with self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to face my reflection and tell myself, ‘Hello, friend. I adore you.’

For Robyn, it was tough to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest phase. “They seem to be advancing,” she remarked during the October 27 broadcast. “It feels like I’m the one who’s been overlooked.

It was disclosed during the premiere that Madison, Janelle’s oldest child, is not in contact or maintaining a relationship with Kody at present. As Janelle put it, “I know there haven’t been any discussions between Maddie and her father,” adding that neither party has reached out to each other, and as such, she doesn’t have a bond with either Kody or his wife Robin. Essentially, she appears to have cut them both off.

The concern, as expressed by Janelle, revolves around Kody not fully engaging with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine in a relationship. She feels that he should only interact with them if he is prepared to make a firm commitment.

Consequently, during the broadcast on September 22nd, Janelle indicated that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to significantly break apart.

Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as expressed by Janelle. She feels that until he can be reliable, present without causing a fuss, it seems best for them not to be aware of him for now.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to make amends, and she expressed, “I believe our children should also take part in this process.

Currently, it appears as if Kody isn’t prepared to mend the divide, expressing frustration that whenever he conversed with his daughter, their discussions seemed more like gossip-sharing opportunities, leading him to grow weary of it.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, “He hinted that he never truly loved me and felt compelled to marry me,” Meri confided in her friend Brandi during the September 15 broadcast. In response, I told him, ‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I know you did love me.’

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

When a bachelor encounters a spinster, why would he decide to marry her if he doesn’t feel love for her at first? It seems so heartless! To select someone from among many and then say, ‘I choose you, hoping that I can somehow be made to love you for the next 32 years'”?

In his personal reflection, Kody stated: “Meri is making some allegations. Well, let her say what she will. I have no intention of responding to them.

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

On the October 20th episode, he emphatically stated that their marriage was in trouble from the very beginning. He claimed to have stronger relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, which is why he knew this.

He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship twenty-five years back,” but he chose to stay due to fear. He added, “Authority figures would not approve if you keep discarding spouses and remarrying.” (This version maintains the original meaning while using simpler language and a more conversational tone.)

Despite being unsure whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, I find myself focusing on the first task at hand – settling the Arizona property debt. Unfortunately, Kody seems reluctant to discuss the matter with me, so I feel like I might need to seek legal advice. I shared this concern with my former sister wife, Christine Brown, during our conversation in the Sept. 22 episode. “I believe I’ll have to consult a lawyer,” I admitted, “as that seems like the only way I can possibly extract any kind of decision from him.

It’s not like I can simply call a lawyer and request a divorce. Instead, the situation is quite complex because there isn’t a legal marriage in place.

Kody stated that he decided not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle because he no longer felt confident in her trustworthiness.

He emphasized during the September 22 episode that “we’ll settle the property when it becomes necessary,” and he prefers not to share specifics about his actions because he’s grown weary of revealing details that get twisted in the rumor mill of our fractured family.

A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview. 

She conveyed, “He shares information as if he’s got holes in his bucket, especially details about his previous relationships and multiple spouses, which left me thinking, ‘It seems inappropriate for you to disclose such things to me.’

In days gone by, when our family bond was growing stronger instead of weakening, we would combine our savings in a single pot.

In simpler terms, Janelle stated during the September 22 broadcast that we’d go to great lengths to assist one individual, followed by collective support for another. This was the norm until around ten years ago. However, things have shifted dramatically, with focus now on personal estates instead of communal ones.

When Robyn needed a house in Arizona, everyone contributed to purchase her spacious five-bedroom property, priced at approximately $1.65 million; this property went on sale in August.

In Robyn’s opinion, it was meant to be a beneficial addition for the family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage, she encountered resistance. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, understandably protect Robyn’s inheritance,” as recalled by Janelle. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her fair share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s home.

But that could be a tough sell. 

Robyn remarked, “After all this time collaborating, it seems perplexing to me when Janelle mentions the debt she claims is owed. I can’t help but wonder, ‘How do you even begin to calculate that? How do you figure it out?’ It’s so puzzling.

Janelle expressed frustration over the family’s inability to settle Coyote Pass debt, as Kody mentioned having numerous other financial obligations. However, she has observed him acquiring various possessions such as trailers and home decorations. “I notice all the artwork on their walls,” she commented about Robyn and Kody’s house. “I see a lot of things. And I understand, I too have spent money on items.” (Meanwhile, Kody stated that most of his funds were used for purchasing vehicles—”Essentially, I had a car fleet”—and insurance for the children.)

Though Janelle admitted she wasn’t clear about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, she often found herself astonished by the beauty of her backyard and the abundance of items in Robyn’s home. She would exclaim, ‘Wow, really? That’s amazing!’

Essentially, she conveyed that he didn’t make her needs or desires a priority, which eventually took a toll on her. Over time, even her children, including her grown ones, became increasingly upset with this situation, expressing their frustration like, “What in the world, Mom?

Instead, Robyn expressed caution in managing her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.

She admitted during the September 22 episode that she hadn’t been good with finances in the past. Growing up, she experienced financial hardships, and it was during her divorce that she learned how to budget effectively. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she suggested they simply prioritized their money differently than she did.

Currently, as shown in the Sept. 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 each other. She expressed her belief that this situation is unlikely to improve significantly in the near future.

Reflecting on the period when they lived on a cul-de-sac with four houses in Las Vegas, Kody described it as “the highlight of my life.” He elaborated, “Everything ran smoothly during that time, and having Maddie and Caleb around made it even better. I genuinely enjoyed their company, and Caleb was like a family member to me.

However, tensions escalated in Arizona due to conflicting views on coronavirus safety measures. Later, he mentioned that as his marriages deteriorated, so did his connections with the children: “This simply led to a spoiling of our relationships.

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

On the September 22nd show, she stated, “The kids who felt frustrated had been feeling that way long before I departed. My departure didn’t affect their relationship with Kody; he still has the ability to mend those connections with his children.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

As a loyal follower, I find myself deeply upset by how I’ve been perceived, and it’s left an impact that I haven’t managed to move beyond yet. The crux of the matter is, I refuse to shoulder blame for incidents where my wife or ex-wife alleges I was at fault. I can only hope that with time, the resentment will dissipate, allowing us to extend forgiveness and rediscover love once more.

At their young ages of 21 and 19, Kody admitted that he and Meri were not particularly well-acquainted when they entered into both a spiritual and legal union. Over time, they ultimately decided to part ways in 2014 with Kody seeking legal custody of Robyn’s three older children from her previous marriage as a result.

In our marriage, she seemed quite distinct and I suspect 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, it felt like everything was a struggle because she was often upset with me. I can’t continue living in a situation where she is consistently angry towards me.

Despite his desire to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody explained that in a plural marriage, divorce is not an option for maintaining faithfulness. Thus, he was trapped within that relationship, longing to see if they could salvage and mend it instead of leaving.

Consequently, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were together, Kody explained, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t amusing, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be interested in her, but I’m growing weary.

He acknowledged that it might seem as though 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 decided for him to step out of the shared household.

In late 2022, although neither Janelle nor Christine considered it necessary to divorce Kody due to their union not being legally recognized, Meri sought and obtained a formal separation from their church, referred to as a “release.

In the episode on September 22nd, she clarified that all four of us had united with Kody through our church in a commitment known as a covenant rather than a legal marriage. Since we’re not proceeding with any further marital ties, and I don’t wish to be bound to him eternally if he doesn’t want me, I believe it’s time for us to disentangle ourselves from this bond completely.

Kody hesitated about the idea, she mentioned, as she wasn’t inclined to recognize or accept the leadership of the church officials.

Kody expressed that the harm was so severe that reconciliation is no longer an option for him. He added that he doesn’t wish to answer to this church, with all its complications, in the eyes of God. As a result, he plans to allow Meri to pursue her own path because if he remains angry with her, it leads to conflict. Essentially, he wants her to move on because it has taken her too long to accept that their relationship is over and done with for quite some time.

2021 holiday gift exchange discussions among the 18 Brown offspring took an unpleasant turn, as Christine explained. “Things went awry, things fell apart,” she summarized the situation. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, formed one group who wanted no part in Janelle, me, or our kids. The split occurred following this text conversation.

According to Robyn, her older children expressed that they found the interaction to be emotionally uncomfortable and felt it necessary to distance themselves from the relationship. However, she emphasized that this wasn’t a matter of wanting to cut off contact entirely or having negative feelings towards her, but rather a situation that had become unpleasant, as if it had turned sour.

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

He confessed during the Oct. 13 episode that what he yearns for most is rebuilding his bond with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was the one he enjoyed spending time with the most. High school found him attempting to connect with Dayton frequently. However, he admits that he’s not optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Aurora made it clear that she had been informed numerous times by various individuals, directly, that she was not welcomed or accepted as a part of the family when her mom married Kody in 2010. They never saw her as their sister and did not acknowledge any familial bond with her.

Her sister Breanna mentioned that they believed the parents might’ve made more efforts to bond the family together, and unfortunately, that connection was never fully established.

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

Robyn’s children and Robyn are always welcome to join in 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 while. “There were difficult periods, and my children felt irritated at times, but they viewed Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as warmly.

In her enthusiasm for the concept, Janelle expressed that when plural marriage works well, it creates an extraordinary family structure where you belong, offering a tight-knit community of support. You have a husband and enjoy a wonderful relationship with him, yet at the same time, you retain your personal freedom. To her, having multiple spouses was not just acceptable but an excellent way of life.

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

In his view, expressed during the December 1st broadcast, polygamy hinders emotional intimacy. It tends to make everyone guarded, and he personally seeks an emotionally open, intimate connection with a woman. However, such a deep bond may not be achievable within a polygamous relationship.

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

In the September 29th episode, it was observed that Kody found living in Flagstaff more conducive to being apart. Occasionally, she had to remind him of our shared space since he’d often make excuses about fatigue. She disclosed that he would claim tiredness, to which she responded, “You can rest here just as effectively as you could at Robyn’s.

In simpler terms, Janelle stated, “My kids were reprimanded when they went into Robyn’s refrigerator.” This indicates the sense of distance or separation her children felt with Robyn. On the other hand, for Christine’s children, it was the fact that their father was in a relationship with Robyn and not present at home that caused this separation.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

In her September 29th appearance, she expressed that Meri was generally welcoming towards me and my children; however, the rest of the family found it challenging to accept us, she explained. Essentially, our aim has been to become an integral part of this family.

Instead, Gabriel might say they had gone to considerable efforts to embrace their kin.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might be suffering from a “victim mentality.” To put it simply, he was referring to this. And I don’t necessarily hold her responsible for it. Instead, I think each person develops unique coping mechanisms to stay afloat in life.

Yet, he went on to say, “If it’s true that she thinks we mistreated her or her children despite the fact that she was frequently favored by Dad and we were making efforts to build relationships with her kids, if that’s indeed her belief, then there’s no possibility of me maintaining a relationship with Robyn.

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody confided that the frequent moves between four households significantly impacted his eighteen children. He recounted an instance where Ariella, their youngest born in January 2016, became emotionally attached to him and refused to let go as he was about to depart.

As a devoted father spread across multiple households, I found myself compelled to share with her, “There’s another family that depends on me, another mother figure. My other children yearn for my presence.” Yet, there she was, clinging to me, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, “Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t leave me.” It’s a heart-wrenching predicament I find myself in, uttering, “Goodness gracious, this is tough.

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

Right from the start,” she clarified, her children “were aware that their father wouldn’t be around permanently. I’ve always thought Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days because Ari gets so upset about it. To me, that seemed like irresponsible parenting. Historically, other family members have been away for similar durations and they turned out just fine – they are well-adjusted adults.

Among a small group of young individuals with Brown heritage, Mykelti maintained relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and Janelle, her mother. During the times of Kody’s divorces, Mykelti served as a mediator or peacemaker within their family dynamics.

From the instant Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti warmly welcomed her and asked her to be present during the birth of her twins Archer and Ace in November 2022.

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn entered their family, she was helping Mykelti discover herself, and Robyn made her feel unique and understood. Robyn was a source of support for Mykelti in difficult times, providing someone to listen to her, care for her, and love her.

Christine, Robyn’s mother, was overjoyed beyond words. As it became clear that Robyn and Mykelti had a strong bond, she expressed her feelings, saying, “When Robyn joined our family and the connection between them was apparent, it surpassed all my expectations.” She added, “When I dreamt of having a multi-mother household, I longed for this very moment – my children forming close relationships with other mothers.” This was shared during the Oct. 6 episode.

Kody believes that it’s not just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; instead, he thinks they’re intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. During the October 6 episodes, he expressed this viewpoint regarding his strained relationship with some of his older children. According to Kody, all he’s guilty of is not falling 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 relationship with his children primarily stems from negative comments he has received. It seems as though there is a swirling sense of disillusionment due to the family splitting up, and it often feels like the fault lies with him: “Dad made a mistake.

However, although he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to the insults. Notably, he confessed that his relationship with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel was strained, as one of his children reportedly replied to a text message with “You are worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.

In another event, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You are unkind. I will no longer speak with you. You have controlled and influenced me in a deceitful manner.’

He’s unwilling to handle the venomous situation any longer; instead, he declared, “I won’t keep extending my hand indefinitely,” acknowledging his belief that adults should take more responsibility for resolving the issues. “I’m prepared to put forth the effort,” he added, “but someone else needs to step up and contribute their own effort as well.

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

In her conversation during the Oct. 6 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 alone. She recalled asking him why he wasn’t around when she was younger and all he offered were weak explanations, which left her feeling disappointed.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded emotions hinder his efforts, she made it clear that she found it difficult not to question her respect for him a bit, as expressed during their intense on-screen disagreement towards the end of 2022.

Although Kody admitted that he might need to do more to repair his bond with his children, he expressed the necessity of healing his own heart initially.

He expressed his frustration by stating, “Some of my children seem to be conspiring against me. I’m so enraged about the situation that I fear discussing it with them might provoke an accusation that will only make me angrier, potentially causing further harm. At this moment, I’m too emotional and could do more damage than good.

Although most of the family was present at the wedding of Janelle and Kody’s eldest son, Logan, to Michelle Petty in October 2022, it appeared that they weren’t genuinely expressing affection or happiness for the occasion.

In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had observed Madison whisking her children away from him, implying a sense of avoidance. Notably, he expressed that Madison hadn’t informed him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023, a fact he was unaware of. Essentially, he said she didn’t tell him she was expecting.

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

Well, let me tell you, I can’t help but share the story about Maddie. You see, she’s carefully kept her distance from him, that man. Here’s why: Maddie cherishes her children more than anything and she’s fiercely devoted to their well-being. Kody, he hasn’t been around since Evie was just a baby, barely three-and-a-half years old now. So, you can imagine Maddie didn’t want him showing up unannounced at the wedding, acting all casual like, “Hey, I’m your grandpa,” when the kids might not even recognize him! It would be a total surprise for them, like, “Who is this stranger?” That’s just not how she wanted things to go.

Kody’s viewpoint: “It’s not practical for grandparents to be constantly involved in their grandchildren’s lives,” he stated, using Maddie’s situation in North Carolina as an example. “This is particularly true if you relocate your children to a completely different coast. I have my own job and life in Flagstaff.

It’s evident that there is a significant difference in perspective between Kody and his grown-up kids regarding their current rift, and one contentious issue is him insisting on an apology or admission of fault from his side.

Following the end of the COVID-19 crisis and our return to everyday life, there remained a rift within our family as Kody expressed that his sons needed to apologize to him and especially to Robyn. As it became more complicated, he simply wanted them to sit down with him for a conversation. Janelle shared this during the October 13 episode.

According to Janelle, Kody’s problem was that he felt his children hadn’t been faithful to him, and moreover, the most cherished member of their family, who has given so much love and devotion, had been treated disrespectfully or unfairly. In essence, she said, “Whatever Kody, yeah, whatever.

Gabriel held a comparable viewpoint, narrating a discussion with his father to Janelle. “He persistently worded it as if I owed him an apology,” he explained. Eventually, I retorted, “‘Unless you’re genuinely prepared to mend our relationship and address issues, we won’t talk anymore.'” A few days later, he came back and messaged me. He said, “Hey, I’ve been considering what you’ve been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.” I responded, “Forgive me for what exactly?

Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, it’s just Savanah that he regularly interacts with. Although it doesn’t happen often, roughly every couple of months, he’ll call her and they’ll spend time together. The other children don’t have much of a relationship or connection with him. (Janelle explained this in the October 13 episode)

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 walk.

Janelle shared, “I’ve discussed the matter with Savanah, and she expressed, ‘You see, I’ve come to understand that this is his nature.’ He’ll be more like a dad who joins us for fun times but then leaves again. I can adapt to his lifestyle. It’s all good.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

She expressed her frustration towards Kody, saying, ‘I’m really fed up with him.’ She’s been through similar situations before. Many women she knows from work have gone through a divorce, only to find that the father disappears, leaving the children behind.

Initially, when the father-son disagreement arose, “Gabriel found it particularly difficult as Kody often invited Gabriel along on his business trips,” explained Janelle. She went on to say that prior to the recent years, Kody was an extremely involved father.

During the October 13 episode, Gabriel seemed puzzled about what could have upset his father, but he declared, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and can’t accept responsibility, then I won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely at peace with that decision.

In her own words, she expressed that he finds comfort in the absence of his father in his life. Furthermore, it’s a wish I have for all my children, and I believe they are gradually reaching this point as well.

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

He expressed regret for how Gabriel seems, adding that he has attempted to reach out to him several times, but unfortunately, these efforts were not reciprocated, not because I didn’t make the effort.

In late 2022, Meri was the one who parted ways with Kody, officially ending their union. This separation was granted through what their church terms as a “release,” due to allegations of abandonment on his part.

In the October 13th episode, she pointed out that he dislikes that particular word since he believes he didn’t leave her. Instead, she feels that he did.

To put it simply, she believes he paid little attention to her needs until she chose to depart, which allowed him 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. 

In a heartfelt moment, I shared that I had left my past behind some time ago. However, I must admit, the thought of confronting certain situations was always daunting. You see, Meri wasn’t ever faithful to me – not once. That’s what has always made me hesitant. It’s a matter of reputation, as divorce can often tarnish one’s image.

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

She expressed that it’s genuinely disheartening to hear Kody speak about our marriage in such a manner. It seems as though his perspective on our relationship has shifted, but the allegations he’s making about me to others and their acceptance of these claims appear unfounded.

Before my beloved partner, Christina, took her leave from our union in the past, there was a nagging suspicion that we weren’t perfectly suited, as our Las Vegas-based marriage counselor suggested through an exercise designed to reveal compatibility.

In her search for a suitable partner, Christine jotted down traits she desired in a husband, such as an effective communicator, someone who would be actively involved in both hers and their children’s lives, and someone who was genuinely drawn to her.
