Why Meri Brown Refuses to Be Robyn Brown: Shocking Sister Wives Secrets

Meri Brown is her own woman.

The reason behind this is that the “Sister Wives” star opposes Kody Brown’s suggestion for her, along with Janelle Brown and Christine Brown, to alter their ways when he initially brought Robyn Brown into the family.

Meri expressed her disagreement in TopMob News’ sneak peek at the TLC series’ May 25 one-on-one special, stating that it didn’t seem right for Kody to make such a claim, following Sukanya Krishnan’s disclosure that Kody aspired to elevate each wife to a divine love level he felt with Robyn.

“We’re all supposed to be Robyn?” she scoffed. “I’m sorry, I am Meri. I’m not going to be Robyn.”

To put it another way, the 54-year-old asserted that it’s not right for Kody to perceive the other sister wives in such a manner.

“I’m going to be my own individual person,” she continued. “I don’t want to be her.”

Reflecting on their past, Meri expressed that a major factor contributing to their long-term relationship’s failure might have been Kody’s reluctance to fully embrace her. She explained, “For the last 12 to 14 years, or perhaps longer.

Similar to Janelle, I found myself expressing my disapproval when Kody made certain comments regarding his ex-wives in 2021. During a private conversation with Sukanya, I voiced my opinion by saying, “It seems like he is rewriting history.

The 56-year-old expressed that she believed Kody never truly tried to cultivate a more profound bond with his other spouses following Robyn’s entry into the family.

She mentioned, “It would have been helpful if he had shared that information earlier, because he didn’t discuss it with me beforehand.

 

Regarding Kody, following his separation from his third wife Christine in 2022, he currently has no interest in practicing polygamy.

56-year-old explained to Robyn, 46, during their conversation in April on Sister Wives, “It was tough not to feel resentful about having agreed to it and carried it out, as I ended up feeling terrible at the very end of it.

He stated, “I choose not to court another woman as I wish to avoid the hassle – the queries, the tribulations, the doubts about reliability.

Kody Brown expressed his readiness to part ways with his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as Meri recounted during the Sept. 15 premiere, Kody had given her hope that things would improve by saying, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a fresh start for us.” This was just one of many instances over the years where Kody led Meri on with such promises.

She expressed her primary concern as his tendency to withhold communication, including his true feelings, desires, oppositions, and the narrative he’s maintained over the years.

As I began delving into various projects, I found myself questioning the reasoning behind certain actions. To put it simply, I wouldn’t pursue a romantic relationship with her at this moment, given our past experiences.

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

She admitted, “They were saying something like, ‘We’re here for you, we’re on your side. It’s high time now,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now realizes that he had been encouraging her to leave him for years by claiming he didn’t love her, “For if he could make me depart and I do so, then he’s not the villain because he didn’t walk away.

After many years since the family bought a 14-acre plot of land in Flagstaff, Ariz., where they intended to construct a home, Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was prepared to let this dream fade away. Since they hadn’t paid off the entire $820,000 cost (which reports suggest they finally did in 2023), he communicated his feelings to Robyn Brown, saying, “I’d almost prefer to abandon it or sell it and then simply start anew somewhere else.

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

Earlier on, TopMob News was informed by Janelle Brown that their relationship had been gradually fading away. However, it was ultimately Kody’s shortcomings in his parental role towards some of their children that prompted her decision to depart.

In simpler terms, the mother told 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 he would go to great lengths to mend it.” She added, “At that moment, I realized, yes, that was what had been keeping me here all this time.

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

She stated, “It’s unclear to me how I could ever reach an understanding with him that allows him to be apart of my children’s lives, but I will always prioritize them.

The reason Kody didn’t put more effort into fixing the strained relationships with some of his grown children, is what he shared as an explanation.

In the Sept. 15 episode, he expressed feeling out of place within his family, stating, “I no longer seem to belong.” Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly raising their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he further explained that he also had occasional relationships with some other children, but these interactions were rare. Consequently, he asked, “How do I navigate all of this? It doesn’t feel like a family.

Even though they’ve finally embarked on a truly monogamous relationship after 14 years together, Robyn admitted in the season 19 premiere that their marriage is struggling more than ever. “It’s been difficult between us,” she said. “Kody isn’t sure if he should blame himself or one of the other wives. He feels a lot of rejection and I think he’s worried that I might reject him too.

Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to keep checking he isn’t undermining our relationship.” In her own words, the most challenging aspect is: “There’s no support available for dealing with the fact that I’m still wedded to a man who seems to be going through multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody was grappling with a wave of self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to face my reflection and tell myself, ‘Hello there, friend. I adore you.’

For Robyn, it was tough to see her ex-sister wives thrive in their latest phase. She commented during the October 27 episode, “They’re all progressing,” hinting at a sense of being overlooked or forgotten, as if she were the one who hadn’t advanced.

It was revealed in the premiere that Madison, Janelle’s eldest child, is currently not in contact with Kody, her father. “Maddie hasn’t spoken to her dad,” explained Janelle, “They haven’t called each other, and there’s no relationship right now between them. She has essentially cut ties with both of them.

Janelle pointed out that the matter at hand is about Kody not fully engaging in a relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed that he would only be allowed contact if he could fully commit to it.

In the September 22 episode, Janelle revealed that Kody had 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 stated by Janelle. She feels it’s best for their situation if he remains absent until he can demonstrate reliability and avoid unnecessary drama, and that they should keep his presence unknown in the meantime.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to take steps to fix their issues. She expressed, “It seems only fair that the children also make an effort to reconcile as well.

At present, Kody appears unwilling to mend the divide. He complains that whenever he talks to his daughter, their conversations feel like fishing for gossip, and he’s grown weary of it.

During their 32nd anniversary, “He hinted that he had never truly loved me and felt obligated to marry me,” Meri confided in her friend Brandi on the Sept. 15 broadcast. To which she responded, “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? 

Why would a bachelor select a maiden to marry without initially feeling love for her, only to pretend and attempt to make himself fall in love over the subsequent 32 years? It seems so unfair and heartless, like grabbing someone randomly from a group and saying, ‘I choose you as my experiment to try and compel myself to develop affection for you’?

In his personal reflection, Kody stated: “Well, Meri’s making some claims. She can certainly speak her mind. I’ve decided not to address 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 start. He claimed to have had stronger relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, which made him privy to this information.

He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship a quarter century back,” yet he remained due to apprehension, mentioning, “Authority figures would never permit another marriage if they perceived you as disposing of spouses.

Janelle was unsure whether she would develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, but she realized that the first move was to settle the Arizona property debt. Since Kody refused to discuss the matter with her, she admitted to Christine Brown in the September 22 episode that “it seems I’ll have to seek legal advice.” She explained that this might be the only way she could ever get a decision from him regarding their situation.

In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she and Kody are not legally married, “I have no legitimate claim on any of Kody’s property through legal means.” She further explained the complexity of the situation by saying, “It’s not as simple as contacting a lawyer to file for divorce. The truth is, there’s no legal marriage to dissolve.

Kody explains that he’s decided to keep quiet about the Arizona property because he no longer has faith in Janelle.

He emphasized during the September 22 episode that he will settle the property when necessary. He also explained why he won’t share his plans or updates, stating that he’s grown weary of sharing details that get twisted and spread by the rumor mill within our fractured family.

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

She conveyed, “He spills secrets as if he were a colander, I found myself hearing details about his past relationships and multiple wives, which left me wondering if it was appropriate for him to disclose such information to me.

In the days when their affection for each other was growing instead of waning, they would combine their funds in a shared container.

Janelle clarified in the September 22nd show, “We’d pool all our resources to aid one person, and afterwards, we’d unite to assist another. This was the norm until around the past ten years. However, now it seems more about personal wealth accumulation, with everyone focusing on their own estates.

When Robyn required a house in Arizona, everyone contributed towards purchasing a luxurious $1.65 million, five-bedroom property that went on sale in August.

Initially, Robyn mentioned that acquiring the property would be beneficial for the family. However, when Janelle proposed that everyone should have their names on the mortgage, she encountered resistance. Kody responded by saying, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s estate,” 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 recoup the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

Robyn remarked, “After all this time working as a team, it’s just puzzling to me. With Janelle claiming she’s due some payment from them, I find myself asking: ‘How do the numbers add up? How does one determine that?’ It’s all so perplexing.

Janelle criticized the fact that Coyote Pass wasn’t being paid off by the family, stating that Kody mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she has observed him acquiring various assets such as trailers and home decorations. “I notice all the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls,” she said. “I see all these things. And it’s okay, I too have spent money on items.” In response, Kody explained that most of his funds were used for purchasing cars (he had quite a few) and insurance for their children.

Janelle admitted that she wasn’t clear about the way Kody and Robyn managed their finances, but she would often be taken aback by how well-maintained Robyn’s backyard was. It always looked finished, and there were always various items at her house. This left Janelle saying, “Wow. Huh.

Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t value her needs or desires, which over time became increasingly apparent even to her children, who grew increasingly frustrated, as if to say, “What on earth, Mom?

As a devoted admirer, I can say that Robyn, in her own words, always kept a watchful eye on her finances following the dissolution of her first marriage. It was crucial for her to manage her money wisely.

In my earlier days, I admit, managing money wasn’t my strongest suit. My youth was marked by tough experiences, and it was during my divorce that I truly learned the art of budgeting effectively. When it comes to my fellow sisters-in-law, I believe each of us has prioritized our financial resources differently, which is perfectly okay.

Currently, as revealed 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 each other as families. She expressed that there’s little communication between them at the moment, and she doesn’t anticipate this situation improving significantly in the near future.

Referring to the period when they lived together with four houses on a single cul-de-sac in Las Vegas as “the best time of my life,” Kody expressed, “Things were running smoothly, and it was wonderful having Maddie and Caleb around. I truly appreciated their presence, and Caleb held a special place in my heart; he was essentially like family to me.

However, discord arose in Arizona regarding coronavirus safety measures, and this led to further issues. In his case, he mentioned that when his marriages deteriorated, so did his connections with the children: “This simply caused all those 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 were already feeling that way long before I departed. My departure did not alter their relationships with their father. Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his own children.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody shared, “I’ve been feeling extremely upset due to how I’ve been unfairly treated. To put it simply, I can’t move past this anger because I’m not ready to accept blame for actions that my wife or ex-wife insists are mine, when in reality they might not be. I’m praying for the day when the resentment will fade away and we can rediscover forgiveness and love once more.

Kody disclosed that he and Meri weren’t particularly familiar with each other when they tied the knot, both ceremonially and legally, at ages 21 and 19 respectively. They ended up filing for divorce in 2014, allowing Kody to adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous relationship.

In our marriage, she seemed different and I suspect she had some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of, Kody explained. At first, I thought I could tolerate it. However, as time went on, everything felt like a struggle because I couldn’t live in a state where she was constantly upset with me.

Even though he desired to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody, in a plural marriage, stated, “If one wishes to remain faithful and devoted, they can’t seek a divorce. It’s forbidden. As a result, I couldn’t escape from that relationship. However, I wasn’t necessarily yearning to leave the relationship. I wanted to discover if we could mend and salvage it.

Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they interacted, Kody pointed out that “She didn’t behave nicely, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to engage with her, but I find myself growing tired.

In his opinion, it’s understandable that Meri might feel deserted, but it was not him who asked her to depart. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri collectively decided for him to step out of our shared residence.

Despite not needing a divorce since their marriage wasn’t legally recognized, Meri requested a formal separation, or a ‘release’, from their church in the latter part of 2022 – this was sought by Meri with regard to her union with Kody.

In the September 22nd episode, she clarified that all four of us married Kody through our church. Since it’s not legally possible for all of us to be married, we referred to it as a covenant. However, since none of us are pursuing a traditional marriage with him anymore, I believe it’s appropriate to dissolve this covenant. I don’t want to remain connected to him eternally if he doesn’t wish for that, and at this point, I prefer to separate ourselves completely from any marital ties.

Kody was hesitant about the notion, as she explained, preferring not to recognize the power or influence of the religious leaders.

Kody made it clear that the harm was so severe that reconciliation isn’t an option anymore. He added, “As for any accountability we owe to God, I don’t want to be held accountable by this church and all their nonsense. Therefore, I plan to allow Meri to pursue her own path because if I’m angry with her, it leads to arguments. frankly, I just need her to move on because it’s taken her far too long to accept that it’s been finished for years.

2021 holiday gift exchange discussions among the 18 Brown offspring took an unpleasant turn as described by Christine. “Matters deteriorated, things went awry,” she explained. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, formed one group and showed no interest in Janelle, me, or our kids. A division occurred following this text conversation.

Robyn explained that her older children perceived the interaction as emotionally uncomfortable and decided to distance themselves from the relationship temporarily. However, she clarified that they didn’t mean to cut off all contact or show disinterest, but rather wanted to express that things had become awkward for them.

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

He admitted during the October 13 episode that what he yearns for most is rekindling a relationship with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he always attempted to connect with Dayton. However, he isn’t optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.

In my own words, let me clarify a personal experience: When my mom married Kody back in 2010, I was made aware on various occasions by numerous individuals that I wasn’t warmly welcomed into the family. They didn’t view me as their sister, and I was not acknowledged or accepted as such.

Her sister Breanna expressed that the parents might have made more efforts to bring our family closer together, but unfortunately, this connection never truly materialized.

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

‘Feel free to drop by our place whenever you like.’

At the same time, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and at one point, Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for some duration: “We had difficult periods, and my children were disheartened, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings without any distinction.

Speaking enthusiastically about plural marriage, Janelle expressed, “When it works well, this family structure provides an incredible community that I’m deeply connected to. I have a loving husband and our relationship is strong. Yet, I also maintain my independence, which makes plural marriage seem like an outstanding setup for me.

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

He expressed his viewpoint during the December 1st broadcast: “Polygamy tends to hinder emotional intimacy.” He explained further, “In polygamous relationships, everyone becomes defensive. I yearn for an emotionally open, intimate bond with a woman, but such connections are difficult to establish in a polygamous union.

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

On the September 29th episode, it was mentioned that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found distance easier for him. She occasionally had to remind him of their arrangement, as he would often cite fatigue as an excuse not to visit her place. However, she pointed out, “You can rest just as effectively at my house as you can at Robyn’s.

Janelle stated that her children experienced a sense of distance from Robyn, as they were reprimanded if they dared to open her refrigerator. For Christine’s kids, the problem was more about perception: They noticed that Robyn and their father were a couple, yet he wasn’t physically present in their home.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

In her September 29th episode, she confided that Meri generally welcomed my children and me, but the rest of the family found it hard to accept us. What they truly desired was to belong within this family.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his kin had made considerable efforts to integrate them into their group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might have a tendency to view herself as a victim. To put it another way, he was suggesting this. And it’s not necessarily her fault, in my opinion. I believe that each person develops unique strategies to stay afloat in life.

Yet, he added, “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 always trying to build a rapport with her kids, and if she truly believes this, then there is no possibility of me having any future relationship with Robyn.

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody explained how the frequent moving between four households impacted his eighteen children. He recounted an instance where his and Robyn’s youngest daughter Ariella, born in January 2016, became distressed when he tried to depart, clinging tightly to him.

Kody said, “‘I had to tell her that another wife and family require my attention. I have other children who need me as well,’ he explained. But she clung to him, crying, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t leave me.’ And it’s tough for me, I must say.

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

Initially, she made it clear to her children that their father wouldn’t always be around due to his frequent absences. It seemed to her that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. Ari became distressed when her dad was away for more than a few days, which she felt was irresponsible parenting. Throughout family history, the other kids had been away for similar periods, and they’ve turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Among the scarce young individuals with connections to both Robyn, Kody, and also Christine and Janelle – mother of three, Mykelti, often stepped in as a mediator during Kody’s divorce proceedings.

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

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to discover my identity. Robyn made me feel unique and understood, she was a beacon of support for me when I needed someone. In times when I needed someone to listen, to care for me, Robyn was there.

As a devoted follower, I couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of joy when Robyn joined our family and it became apparent that she and Mykelti shared a wonderful bond. Sharing this sentiment on the Oct. 6 episode, my mother Christine expressed, “Seeing Robyn enter our family and forming such a strong connection with Mykelti was exactly what I had hoped for.” In my dreams of building a plural family, I yearned for my children to foster deep relationships with other mothers. And that’s precisely what we have now.

Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; he thinks they’re intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he didn’t commit. During the October 6 episode, he expressed this perspective on his estrangement from some of his older children. He stated that he is only guilty of not deeply falling in love with the mothers of those children.

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 kids is predominantly due to negative remarks, adding a sense of guilt and blame. He feels overwhelmed by the turbulence caused by the family separation, often finding himself thinking, “It’s all Dad’s fault. Dad made mistakes.

However, although he accepts some responsibility, he strongly objects to the derogatory comments. In fact, when discussing his strained relationship with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, Kody admitted that one of his children had texted something hurtful such as “You’re 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 to me, ‘You are incredibly rude. I will no longer speak with you. You have deceived me and indoctrinated me.’

He made it clear that he won’t keep addressing the issue indefinitely. As he put it, “I’m not just throwing solutions at a problem without reciprocation.” He added that he believes his elders should take more responsibility in resolving matters, but he’s ready to contribute as long as someone else is willing to do the same.

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

During my childhood, my world crumbled when my parents parted ways. One moved to another city with his spouse, while my mom stood alone. Memories flood back of my desperate attempts to understand the void left by my biological father, questioning him about his absence. Instead, I was met with flimsy explanations and empty promises that only served to heighten the pain.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded feelings deter him, she found it challenging not to lose a small amount of respect for him somewhat, as expressed during their heated discussion caught on camera towards the end of 2022.

Even though Kody admitted that he might need to put in more effort to repair his relationships with his children, he emphasized that healing his own heart is a priority first.

He expressed his frustration by stating, “Some of my children seem to be ganging up on me. The situation has left me so upset that I’m afraid to discuss it with them because they might accuse me further and make me even angrier. At the moment, I fear I may react impulsively and only cause more harm.

Although most of the family attended when Janelle and Kody’s eldest son, Logan, married Michelle Petty in October 2022, their affection wasn’t particularly evident.

In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison hastily leaving him with her children, and he expressed surprise because Madison hadn’t informed him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. He stated that she never shared the news that she was pregnant with him.

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

Janelle clarified that her daughter Maddie avoids Kody because he has no relationship with him. Maddie values her children’s safety and well-being, which is why she doesn’t want Kody around since Evie was born over three years ago. She didn’t want an unexpected encounter where Kody might claim to be their grandpa, leaving the kids confused about who he is.

Kody expressed that it’s impractical to expect grandparents to be consistently involved in their grandchildren’s lives, considering the situation with Maddie in North Carolina. He added that, given his professional commitments and personal life in Flagstaff, maintaining distance is necessary.

It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives on their current estrangement, with a key disagreement being him requesting an admission of wrongdoing from them.

Following the resolution of the COVID-19 situation, our family life didn’t return to its usual state as Kody felt that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn. He explained in the October 13 episode that after this request escalated into something more complex, they simply needed to sit down and discuss things with him directly.

In Janelle’s explanation, it seemed that Kody felt his children hadn’t been faithful to him. She added, “and the one who has given their heart and soul to this family, has been treated unkindly or faced some unfairness.” Summing up her thoughts, she said, “It’s as if I’m saying, ‘Kody, I understand your feelings, but whatever.’

Gabriel echoed a comparable viewpoint, narrating his talk with his father. “He repeatedly suggested that I needed to apologize,” he explained to Janelle. “In the end, I simply said, ‘Unless you’re truly prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t communicate anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been contemplating your words. I forgive you, Please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what?’

Out of his six children with Janelle, Kody primarily interacts only with his youngest child, Savanah. He doesn’t see them often, but approximately every two months they speak over the phone and spend time together. The rest of their kids don’t seem to have a strong or consistent connection with him. (Janelle shared this in the Oct. 13 episode.)

Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she perceives that her four elder brothers assume a fatherly role towards her. In fact, she has shared with Janelle her intention of asking her siblings to escort her during her future wedding ceremony.

Janelle shared, “I spoke with Savanah regarding the matter, and she expressed, ‘It seems clear to me now that this is his nature.’ She described him as a father who would join us for fun times but then leave. She understands him and accepts it. That’s alright.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

She expressed her disappointment with Kody, saying, “I can’t help but feel frustrated. You see, I’ve witnessed similar situations in the past. Many women I’ve collaborated with have gone through a divorce, only to find the children’s father disappearing from their lives afterward.

In the initial stages of their estrangement, “Gabriel found it particularly tough since Kody used to let Gabriel accompany him on business trips,” as Janelle put it, adding that Kody had been an extremely involved father until quite recently.

Despite being puzzled about what he might have done to upset his father, Gabriel declared during the Oct. 13 episode, “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 fine with that decision.

Speaking from my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, I echo those sentiments. It’s crucial for everyone, including my own children, to find a sense of tranquility when it comes to their relationships with their parents. Ideally, I aspire for each of them to arrive at a place where they feel content and fulfilled, regardless of the presence or absence of a parental figure in their lives.

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

He expressed his regret for how Gabriel seems to be feeling, adding that he has made several attempts to connect with him but those efforts were unsuccessful. However, this was not due to any lack of effort on his part.

In late 2022, Meri was the one who formally ended her relationship with Kody, following the teachings of their faith, which refers to this action as a “release.” This was granted due to allegations of abandonment.

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 he did.

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

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

He admitted that he had moved past the situation a while ago, but acknowledged his fear in revealing the truth due to Meri’s unreliable nature. His concern was mainly about her potential reactions and the impact it could have on his reputation, especially after the divorce.

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

She expressed her disappointment that Kody was discussing our marriage in such a negative manner. It seems as though his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the accusations he’s making about me to others don’t align with reality.

Before Christina parted ways with Kody, it became apparent that they were not well-suited according to the compatibility test suggested by their marriage counselor based in Las Vegas.

Christine noted that she had compiled a set of characteristics she desired in her future husband, which included an effective communicator, someone who would be actively involved in her life and the lives of their children, and someone who found her attractive. However, during a recent episode on October 20th, she shared that Kody did not possess any of these qualities as he had admitted to her, “Kody doesn’t fit any of the qualities I listed,” she disclosed. “I explained the list to him, and he said, ‘I’m not those things for you.’ I replied, ‘No, you’re not.’

The letter played a significant role in helping her realize swiftly that David Woolley was indeed her match.

She enthusiastically shared that family holds the highest value for the widowed father of eight, who also owns a drywall business. Known for his integrity and authenticity, he is an exceptional communicator.
