As a seasoned observer of human relationships, I find myself deeply saddened by the state of affairs within the Brown family on “Sister Wives.” Each member seems to be grappling with unique challenges and heartaches, their lives reflecting a complex tapestry of love, loss, and longing.
Meri Brown isn’t quite ready to let go.
In the December 1st episode of Sister Wives, I found myself grappling with emotions as Kody Brown, my former partner, wept upon relocating me to my new residence in Utah, describing it as the “end of an era.
In her private thoughts, Meri expressed feeling puzzled. A part of her mind seemed to exclaim, “Oh dear, what have I just done? Perhaps I’ve made a mistake.
However, Kody, currently wedded solely to Robyn Brown, openly expressed in a personal reflection the reason for his emotional state.
He clarified that at this point with Meri, he was transitioning from feeling angry to a moment of sorrow. Essentially, he was attempting to remain secure within this emotion, acknowledge it, experience it, and ultimately heal from it.
Kody acknowledged that his actions left both his ex and Nathan Dilts, his ex-brother-in-law who came along to help with the move, bewildered.
According to Kody, when Nathan got in the car and they started driving, he gently touched him and asked, “Mate, I’m usually not one for pressure, but are you certain about this?”. Kody responded, “Dude, if you can’t grasp it now, I’m not sure how else I can make it clear to you.
Kody, who saw Christine Brown and Janelle Brown leave him before Meri, further explained in his private thoughts, “I’m not doubting that we’re making the right choice. I acknowledge that Meri and I can no longer be married. And I’m not questioning our past, as it holds a wonderful memory. It’s just over.
After Kody’s emotional moment, Meri herself was in tears, and more conflicted than ever.
The disheartened celebrity expressed, “If it’s unmistakable that you have no intention of marrying me, yet at the same time you declare ‘I never loved you,'” they questioned, “but here you are weeping over ‘the end of a period’ and ‘we had something unique,’ which version is true?
Meri, the mother of Leon Brown, shared with Kody, has confessed that she is now doubting her choice to conclude their multi-partner relationship, which had lasted for 33 years.
She explained, ‘I’m not planning on returning to him, no way. But I can’t help but wonder if he’s truly upset by it. It’s natural to question yourself after a breakup, isn’t it?
Following some contemplation, Meri acknowledged that she had found inner tranquility regarding her choice to legally end the marriage within their religious community.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
For more bombshells from this season, read on.
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but rephrase this intriguing narrative: Kody Brown hinted at his intention to part ways with his first wife, Meri Brown, soon after their 1990 nuptials. However, he would subtly suggest they could mend their relationship by saying, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a fresh start for us.” This was just one of many instances where Kody led me to believe that things would change, only for him to repeat the same pattern over the years. (Sept. 15 premiere reference: their 2018 move)
She expressed her primary concern as his poor communication, including his feelings, desires, and even those things he doesn’t want, along with the narrative he has been sharing throughout these years.
And while Kody acknowledged that there may have been “mixed messages,” it was only because as he started to work on things, “I’m like, ‘Why would I do this?'” he explained. “I would not court and date her now.”
Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023.
She admitted, “They basically said, ‘We’re with you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now believes that he had been trying for years to encourage her to leave by claiming he didn’t love her, “Because if I could be made to walk away, then he wouldn’t be the one at fault since he didn’t depart himself.
A number of years had passed since the family acquired a 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for construction. In the first episode of the new season, Kody revealed his readiness to let go of this dream as they hadn’t been able to complete the construction due to the need to settle the entire $820,000 price (which was supposedly paid off in 2023). Addressing Robyn Brown, he expressed a preference for either abandoning or selling the property and starting anew somewhere else.
As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”
Previously, Janelle Brown shared with TopMob News that the relationship between them had been gradually fading. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings in his parenting responsibilities towards some of their children that served as the primary reason for her decision to part ways.
In simpler terms, the mom said to Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown, “The turning point for me was when his relationship with my kids deteriorated, and it didn’t appear that he would go to great lengths to mend it. At that moment, I realized that was what had been keeping me here.
Even when Kody broached the idea of reconciling in the Nov. 3 episode, it was a non-negotiable for Janelle.
She stated that it’s impossible for her to find a way to reconnect with him while he maintains no connection with her children, to which she firmly replied, “I will always prioritize my kids.
The reason Kody didn’t make an effort to fix the issues he was having with multiple of his grown-up kids, is what he shared in his explanation.
In the September 15th episode, he expressed his feelings of not belonging in the family anymore. Despite being fully married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he also mentioned having a less frequent relationship with some of the other kids. Feeling confused about his role, he asked, “What do I do with all this? It doesn’t feel like a family.
In their 14-year long marriage, Robyn admitted in the season 19 opener that things have never been as strained as they are now. “We’re struggling more than ever,” she said. “Kody is confused about who to blame – himself or one of his other spouses. He feels rejected and I think he fears I might reject him too.
In my fervor, I can’t hide the fact that I’m constantly vigilant, ensuring he isn’t undermining our bond. The most challenging aspect of this situation? There seems to be no guidance for someone like me, still legally tied to a man who’s navigating multiple divorces.
Meanwhile, Kody was grappling with a wave of self-doubt, saying aloud, “I find it hard to tell my reflection, ‘Hi there, mate. I admire you.’
In the October 27th episode, Robyn expressed it as a challenge for her to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest chapter. She remarked, “They’re all progressing,” and she felt like she was the one who had been left behind.
“Janelle confirmed during the premiere that Madison is currently not in contact with her dad, as neither has reached out to the other and they don’t have an active relationship. In essence, she seems to have distanced herself from both Kody and his wife Robin.
Regarding the matter at hand, I mentioned that Kody seems to be maintaining a lukewarm relationship with Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine – Maddie’s children. The essence of what I said was: “She feels he should only interact with them if he can fully commit.
During the September 22 broadcast, it was revealed that Kody had stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush due to a significant breakdown in their family ties when things began falling apart between them.
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 and avoid unnecessary drama, it might be best for everyone if he remains less involved in their lives.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to reconcile, and she expressed, “It seems to me that the children ought to do the same.
At this juncture, I find myself not quite prepared to mend the fracture in our relationship. Each conversation with my daughter seems to be a source of gossip, and frankly, I’ve grown weary of it.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that “He had been hinting at not having truly loved me and feeling as though he was obligated to marry me,” she revealed. To this, Meri responded, “‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I know you cared for me.’
And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose?
She pondered, “Why would a bachelor decide to marry a spinster when he didn’t feel affection for her initially? It seems so heartless, as if he would select her from a sea of faces and declare, ‘I choose you, with the intention of trying to manufacture love for the next 32 years’?
In his private thoughts, Kody acknowledged that Meri was making some claims against him. However, he chose not to respond or engage with those statements.
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
In last week’s broadcast, I confidently asserted that my marriage was consistently strained throughout, a sentiment echoed by the fact that I enjoyed stronger connections with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship a quarter century ago,” but he continued due to fear, pointing out, “Authority figures would never permit you to remarry if you’re disposing of spouses.
Despite being unsure if she would develop Coyote Pass or choose to sell it, Janelle acknowledged that the first move was settling the Arizona property debt. With Kody refusing to discuss the matter, she expressed her concerns to former sister wife Christine Brown during the September 22 episode: “I believe I’ll need a lawyer,” she admitted. “I think that’s the only way I can possibly extract any kind of decision from him.
In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she and Kody are not legally married, “I don’t have any rights to stake a claim on Kody’s property through legal means.” She elaborated, “It’s not as simple as just contacting a lawyer and filing for divorce. The situation is more complex because there’s no legal marriage between us.
Kody chose not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle because he had lost trust in her.
He firmly stated during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property matter when necessary, and he didn’t want to share any details about his actions or plans because he’s grown weary of revealing information that gets twisted 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 spills secrets as easily as water from a sieve. He unburdened himself about his past relationships and multiple wives, and I felt it wasn’t appropriate for him to share such details with me.
In days when their affection for each other continued to grow instead of wane, they would combine their funds in a shared container.
In simpler terms, as Janelle clarified during the September 22nd broadcast, our approach has been to dedicate all available resources to aid one individual, followed by collective support for the next person. This was the norm until approximately a decade ago. However, things have shifted dramatically, and now it seems more about personal wealth accumulation rather than communal estate.
When I found myself searching for a new home in Arizona, my loved ones and I pooled our resources to purchase a stunning $1.65 million, five-bedroom property that hit the market in August.
Initially, Robyn mentioned that acquiring the asset would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be joint mortgage holders, her suggestion was rejected. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, safeguard Robyn’s inheritance,” as Janelle remembered. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also recover 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 perplexing to me. With Janelle claiming she’s due some compensation, I find myself asking, ‘How is that calculated? How is that determined?’ It’s just so puzzling.
Janelle expressed frustration over the family’s inability to settle Coyote Pass debts, as she observed Kody amassing other possessions such as trailers and home decorations. She remarked, “I notice all the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls. I see all these things, and that’s okay, because I too have spent money on items.” In response, Kody explained that a large portion of his funds were used for vehicle purchases, “essentially building a fleet,” and insurance for their children.
Although Janelle admitted she wasn’t privy to Kody and Robyn’s financial management, she often found herself amazed by the lavishness of Robyn’s backyard and the abundance of items in her home. Her reaction was typically, ‘Wow. Really?’
Essentially, she conveyed that he didn’t give importance to her requirements or preferences, which became a significant problem over time. She further mentioned that her children, both adults, grew increasingly frustrated with this situation, expressing their concern with phrases like “What on earth, Mom?
Instead of Robyn being cautious with her finances after her first marriage ended, it could be rephrased as “Robyn became more mindful about managing her money following the breakdown of her first marriage.
In the September 22 episode, she confided that she wasn’t always good with finances. She experienced tough times in her youth and it was during her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she remarked, “Perhaps you placed a different emphasis on where your money should be spent compared to me.
Currently, as seen on the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that while she and Christine (mother of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) often gather with their families, there’s little interaction happening with Meri or Robyn, and Kody. She doesn’t anticipate this situation improving significantly in the near future.
Speaking about their period residing on a cul-de-sac with four houses in Las Vegas, Kody referred to it as “the pinnacle of my life.” He expressed, “Things were running smoothly and having Maddie and Caleb nearby was wonderful. I truly cherished Caleb; he felt like family to me.
However, things deteriorated in Arizona as disagreements arose concerning coronavirus safety measures. Subsequently, when his marriages disintegrated, he lamented that the ties with his children also soured, stating that it led to all those connections turning 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 were experiencing that long before I departed. My departure did not alter their relationship with him. Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his kids.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody expressed his frustration, saying, “I’ve been deeply hurt by how I’ve been treated, and it’s left me unable to move past it yet. The truth is, I can’t accept blame for things that my wife or ex-wife is insisting I did wrong. I pray the day comes when the resentment fades, so we can find forgiveness and love again.
At the ages of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri admitted they weren’t particularly well-acquainted when they got married, both spiritually and legally. Over time, they eventually sought divorce in 2014, allowing Kody to legally adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage.
As we exchanged vows, I found her to be quite distinct from what I had imagined. In hindsight, there seemed to be some weighty matters, or as one might say, luggage, that Meri carried which I was unaware of. At first, I believed I could accommodate these differences. However, it soon became apparent that our world was constantly filled with conflict, and I found myself unable to live in a place where she harbored persistent anger towards me.
Despite his desire to exit, he found himself unable to do so. Kody, in a plural marriage, explained that if one wishes to remain faithful and adhere to their faith, divorce is not an option. Consequently, he was stuck in that relationship. However, he wasn’t necessarily yearning for an escape. Instead, he sought understanding about whether they could salvage and mend it.
Thus, due to the conflicting signals, he conceded that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they interacted, Kody admitted, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t amusing, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be intrigued by her, but I find myself growing weary.
He acknowledged that it might seem as though Meri was left behind, but he clarified, “Yet, it wasn’t a forced eviction on my part. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri were the ones who decided for me to depart from our shared home.
Although Janelle and Christine believed there was no necessity to divorce Kody since their union wasn’t legally recognized, Meri sought a formal separation from their church in the last quarter of 2022, which is referred to as a “release.
She clarified during the September 22 episode that all four of us women were united with Kody through our church in a special commitment called a covenant, not legally. Since we’re no longer planning to marry him, she believes it’s important to end this relationship entirely. If he has no desire for us to be together eternally, she doesn’t want to be bound to him that way. In simpler terms, she wants to completely separate from Kody in all aspects if they are not moving forward with a marriage and she doesn’t wish to remain connected to him for eternity if that’s not his choice.
Kody was hesitant about the concept, she mentioned, preferring not to recognize or submit to the power held by the church’s leaders.
Kody made it clear that the harm was so extensive that there’s no chance of reconciliation. He went on to say that he doesn’t wish to be answerable to this church for its unfair practices, so he plans to let Meri act independently. If he’s angry with her, it leads to arguments. So, he feels better if she just moves on because it has been over for quite some time and it takes her a long time to acknowledge it.
The holiday gift exchange discussion in 2021 turned sour for the 18 Brown children. As Christine explained, “Things took a turn for the worse, things fell apart.” It appeared that Kody, Robyn, and their kids were on one side, while Janelle, me, and our kids were isolated from them. This text conversation sparked a division among the group.
Robyn expressed that her older children felt the interaction was not emotionally secure and believed they needed some distance from their relationship. However, she clarified that it wasn’t a matter of them never wanting to see or interact with her again, but rather that things had become uncomfortable for them.
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
“The thing I want most is to just have a relationship with Robyn’s children again,” he confessed in the Oct. 13 episode. “In middle school, Aurora was my favorite person to hang out with. And in high school, I would always try to hit Dayton up. But I’m, I’m not hopeful for a relationship with Dad And Robyn.”
Aurora firmly maintained that she was informed on various occasions by various individuals, both directly and indirectly, that she was not welcomed as a part of the family when her mom married Kody in 2010. They made it clear to her that she wasn’t considered their sister, and they didn’t perceive or acknowledge her in that role.
Her sister Breanna expressed that the parents might’ve made more effort in fostering our familial bond, but unfortunately, it didn’t materialize as they had hoped.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
Robyn’s children and Robyn were always welcomed to every event, she emphasized. In essence, it was as if she were saying, ‘Feel free to drop by our home whenever you please.’
Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children. In fact, Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for a while. She explained, “Difficult times arose and my children felt exasperated, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as before.
Janelle expressed her enthusiasm about the freedom she experienced in plural marriages, stating, ‘When it works well, you’re part of an extraordinary family network and community. You have a strong bond with your spouse, but at the same time, you retain all your personal independence. To me, this multi-partner arrangement was truly beneficial.’
According to Janelle, Kody found it harder to split his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.
On the September 29th episode, it was mentioned that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it more convenient to stay away. Occasionally, I had to remind him to visit me because he often tried to find reasons to avoid it by claiming exhaustion. She added, “I’m so tired. It’s like, ‘You can rest at my house just as much as you can rest at Robyn’s.’
According to Janelle, her children were reprimanded when they opened Robyn’s refrigerator. This sense of distance, however, stemmed from Christine’s kids recognizing that Robyn was their father’s partner but not a part of their household.
And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.
In the latest episode, I opened up about our experience: while Meri warmly welcomed my children and me, the rest of the family found it challenging to embrace us fully. We yearned for nothing more than to become an integral part of this family.
However, Gabriel might contend that he and his kin made considerable efforts to integrate them fully.
In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn seems to have a tendency to perceive herself as a victim. To put it simply, and without passing judgment, he thinks that everyone has their own ways of coping with life’s challenges, and perhaps Robyn has developed this particular strategy to help her stay resilient.
Instead, he went on to say, “If Robyn truly thinks that we mistreated her or her children while she was receiving favoritism from Dad and we were making efforts to build relationships with them, if she genuinely holds this belief, then it’s impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Robyn.
During the September 29th episode, Kody shared how the constant moving between four homes impacted his 18 children, particularly when Ariella, their youngest (born in early 2016), held onto him tightly as he attempted to depart, showing a clear emotional attachment that may have been influenced by their living situation.
Kody stated, “‘I had to tell her, ‘I have another wife and children who require my attention,’ which she didn’t want to hear. She clung to me, crying, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy.’ It’s a tough situation for me.’
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
Right from the start,” she clarified, her children “understood that their father wouldn’t always be present. I’ve often felt that 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. To me, it seemed like poor parenting. Throughout the family’s history, the other kids managed without issues, and they’ve grown up to be well-adjusted adults.
Among a small group of children with the last name Brown, Mykelti maintained relationships not only with Robyn and Kody but also with Christine and Janelle. During Kody’s divorces, Mykelti stepped in to serve as a mediator, fostering harmony among the family members.
Ever since Robyn joined the Brown household, Mykelti extended an invitation to her for being present during the birth of her twins in November 2022 – specifically, Archer and Ace.
During the September 29th broadcast, Mykelti shared, “When Robyn became part of our family, I was still trying to discover myself. She made me feel unique and understood. She was the one who was there for me when I needed someone; she listened, cared for me, and showed me love.
Christine was overjoyed beyond words when Robyn joined their family and it was clear she and Mykelti had a strong bond. “On the Oct. 6 episode, Christine expressed her feelings, saying, ‘I dreamt of having a large family where my kids would have close relationships with other moms, and that’s exactly what I’m seeing happen,'” she added.
Kody expressed that it’s not just his wives who are distancing themselves from him; they seem to be intentionally excluding him as a form of retribution for a crime he maintains he didn’t commit. He voiced this perspective during the October 6 episodes, discussing his strained relationship with some of his older children. Essentially, he feels he is only being punished because he didn’t develop an all-consuming love for their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
He explained that the strain in his relationship with his kids mainly stems from negative comments, saying, “It seems to be predominantly in my mind due to the chatter about me.” He further added, “There’s a swirling feeling of disillusionment from our family splitting up, and it feels as though people are pointing fingers at me, implying that I was the one who made mistakes.
However, although he accepts some responsibility, he strongly objects to the derogatory remarks. In fact, Kody admitted that he had difficulty bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, revealing that one of his children replied to a text with something along the lines of “You are worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.
Speaking candidly, I can’t help but share a personal revelation that recently unfolded in our household. One of my cherished offspring, with eyes filled with raw emotion, exclaimed, “You’ve been such a jerk! I’m cutting ties with you now. You’ve manipulated me and indoctrinated me without my knowledge.” It’s a moment etched deeply into my heart, a wake-up call that stirs introspection and self-reflection.
He expressed that he’s not prepared to handle the venom indefinitely. “I won’t keep extending my hand,” he stated, pointing out that he believes grown-ups should take more responsibility for resolving issues. “I’m ready to put in the work,” he continued, “but someone else needs to be willing to reciprocate and contribute effort as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
In the October 6th episode, she recounted that her parents divorced when she was young. At that time, her father lived with another wife in a different city, while her mother lived on her own. She recalled asking him why he wasn’t around during her childhood, and all he offered were feeble explanations that didn’t make sense to her. It was a difficult time for her.
Instead of letting Kody’s hurt feelings deter him, she was determined to keep pushing forward. During their heated exchange, captured on camera towards the end of 2022, she expressed her concern by saying, “I find it difficult not to feel a bit less respectful toward you.
Kody admitted that he might not be putting enough effort into repairing his relationship with his children, but he emphasized that healing his own heart is a necessary step first.
Speaking candidly, he admitted that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him. He explained, “I’m so enraged by the situation that when I interact with my kids, I fear they might provoke me with accusations. At this point, I’m too volatile. I’m afraid all I would do is cause more harm.
Although many members of their family were present at Logan’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, it seemed that the joy and affection were not fully expressed.
In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his frustration to Robyn, stating that he noticed Madison hastily leaving their presence with her children, implying avoidance from him. He pointed out that Madison hadn’t informed him about her pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their third child, daughter Josephine, in February 2023, a fact he was unaware of. Essentially, Kody said that she didn’t tell him she was expecting.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
Janelle clarified why Maddie avoided Kody at the wedding: “Maddie doesn’t interact with him,” she said. “She values her children’s safety a lot and Kody hasn’t been around since Evie was born, who is now three-and-a-half. She didn’t want him to suddenly show up and surprise them, saying he’s their grandfather, leaving them confused about his identity.
Kody expressed that it’s not practical for grandparents to constantly be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, considering the distance when moving family members across countries, like Maddie living in North Carolina. For him, he has commitments in Flagstaff regarding his work and personal life.
It seems that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their current estrangement, with a key issue being Kody’s insistence on an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from his side.
Following the end of the COVID-19 concerns and our return to regular life, there was still a rift within our family that we couldn’t mend. Kody expressed that his sons particularly owed an apology, specifically to Robyn, for something that had transpired. Eventually, he felt it boiled down to them needing to have a conversation with him directly.
In Janelle’s words, Kody was upset because he felt his children weren’t showing him loyalty, and in her opinion, the most cherished member of their family had been disregarded or treated unfairly. She expressed exasperation by saying, “Whatever, Kody. Yeah, whatever.
Gabriel expressed a comparable viewpoint when he recounted his discussion with his father. “He seemed to be implying that I should apologize to him,” he told Janelle. “At some point, I said, ‘Hey, unless you’re genuinely prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking about what you’ve said. I forgive you. Please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what?’
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, he primarily interacts with his youngest daughter, Savanah. While it’s not frequent, about every couple of months, he contacts her and they spend time together. The other children do not seem to have much of a relationship with him.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, it seems that her four elder brothers have assumed a paternal role for her. Already, Savannah has revealed to Janelle her intention of asking her siblings to accompany her on her wedding day.
Janelle shared, ‘I discussed it with Savanah, and she said something like, ‘Well, I’ve understood that this is his nature.’ She continued, ‘He’ll be the kind of father who joins us for fun times but then leaves us. I can accept him as he is. It’s fine.’
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her disappointment in Kody, saying, ‘I’ve been through this before – I know several women from my professional life who divorced and then their ex-husbands disappeared, leaving the children behind.’
Initially, when the disagreement between them arose, “Gabriel found it particularly tough since Kody often invited Gabriel along during his work travels,” as Janelle put it, explaining that Kody had always been an exceptionally involved father – right up until the recent past.
Despite being puzzled about what might have upset his father, Gabriel asserted during the October 13 episode: “I informed Dad that if he doesn’t alter and cannot accept responsibility, then I simply won’t meet him anymore. And I’m completely content with that decision.
In my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, I echo the sentiment expressed by Janelle: It brings me tranquility to see my children finding peace with their father not being present in their lives. My fervent wish is that this serenity becomes a universal experience for every child. And I firmly believe they are all slowly but surely arriving at this place of understanding and acceptance.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed his apologies, acknowledging Gabriel’s feelings, and explained in a confession that he had tried reaching out to him several times, but Gabriel had consistently turned down his attempts. However, this was not due to any reluctance or unwillingness on his own part.
In late 2022, Meri was the one who ended her relationship with Kody, as she obtained what their church refers to as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason.
She observed on October 13th that he dislikes that particular word since he believes he didn’t leave her behind. Instead, she feels that he did.
To put it another way, she believes he didn’t seem to notice or care about her until she decided to depart, at which point it seemed like his intention was to claim, “I have no involvement in this.
And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.
He admitted that he had moved past the situation a while ago, but acknowledged that he was apprehensive about revealing the truth due to Meri’s unreliability. His concern, he explained, stemmed from the potential fallout. It was mostly about preserving his reputation because divorce can tarnish one’s image.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
She expressed that it’s truly disheartening how Kody is discussing our marriage as he is, and it seems like his perspective on our relationship has shifted. However, the things he’s telling others about me don’t align with reality, which is concerning because they appear to be accepting his version of events.
Prior to Christina parting ways with Kody, it became clear to her that they were not well-suited as a couple, based on an activity suggested by their marriage counselor in Las Vegas.
In her search for a suitable partner, Christine jotted down characteristics she desired in a husband – a good conversationalist, someone who would be an active participant in her life and that of her children, and someone who was genuinely drawn to her. However, as she confessed on the October 20th episode, Kody didn’t embody any of those qualities. “I presented him with the list,” she admitted, “and he said, ‘I’m not any of those things for you.’ I responded, ‘No, you’re definitely not.’
The letter played a significant role in her swift realization that David Woolley was indeed her match.
She enthusiastically shared that family holds the utmost significance for the widower father of eight, adding, “He’s not just a business owner but owns his own drywall company. He is known for his unwavering honesty and authenticity with people, and he excels in communication.
