Kody can destroy her? That’s what he’s done, totally disposed of her, and destroyed her emotionally!

Denise Donica Mary was a teacher and I believe supported the family for a bit. Genelle takes care of the finances. They may be the only productive members.

Wasn't Janelle also married to Meri's brother before Kody? So before becoming sister wives Janelle was Meri's sister in law.

I'm waiting for the day they all wake up, especially Meri, and leave him all alone...probably never happen but I think Meri is ready to tell him to kick rocks😂

[@lisasumms2114]

Good job doing your homework. Meri was/ is depressed from first episode. Janelle was checked out from episode one. Relegated mother role to Christine. Janelle is Kody sycophant and is comatose most shows. Christine WAS happy until it was all exposed by the show all the secrets Kody kept with Robyn that mostly hurt Christine, pregnant at the time. Through the years the attitude of Christine changed the most, due to Robyns true manipulation being revealed. Robyn manipulated Meri, who thought they were besties. Robyn manipulated Kody with her uterus and ability to pop out kids. She would not give him a second child until she got the legal marriage. She manipulated the move to AZ to help her autistic son in college. Now looks like she manipulated and got her mansion over the other woman’s modest homes and rentals. Robyn gets the mansion because Kody lives there 99% of the time. The woman hate each other, Period!

[@chrisfry436]

I believe the reason Christine was involved in helping with Janelles kids is that Janelle was working in real estate and kody working also and that is how the family was supported for a while.

[@booboowright3984]

This was one of the best comments I've read so far.

[@sharonblevins3281]

Pretty much!

[@MissVanSam]

👍

[@hotpinkthread]

@@chrisfry436 Janelle worked in finance or accounting for many years when her children were little, Christine was the ONLY full time caregiver for the 10 oldest, Logan, Aspyn, Mariah, Madison, Mykelti, Hunter, Paedon, Garrison, Gabriel, Ysabel, Savannah & Gwendolyn The only child born to the first 3 wives since the show started is Truely. Meri and Kody also worked when they were in Utah and the kids were small. Janelle did not go into real estate until they moved to Vegas, and at that time, most of the older kids were over 12 yo. But, yes, Christine was still their caregiver, even though Robyn was in the family and in the Cul-de-Sac too, I don’t think Robyn ever stepped up as a mom for any of the kids!

[@vinnievee5710]

If Meri left I’m sure none of the kids would disown her. It’s clear none of them agree with this lifestyle or want it for themselves. I so badly want Meri to just be a rebel and break all the rules and leave Kody and his sinfully hideous hair behind. She seems like a sweet person, she deserves better

[@SeeingHimNow]

vinnie vee and she’s talented. She does not need his money or his approval. Regardless of what a covenant says, there are laws in this country that aren’t going to give automatic custody to that thing. Plus, Mariah is a grown woman

[@doingme8384]

vinnie vee I honestly think Meri is scared of her daughter. Mariah would absolutely disown her. She is so beyond disrespectful to her mom. She literally punished her for a long time for the cat fish incident. I think that Mary just solely operates on the fact that Maria would treat her like scum

[@sueallen7750]

@Us Us Iwas thinking that same thought.

[@kimberlykiniry551]

Just Me so sad considering that by being gay is also a no no in their religion, but Mariah for some reason feels she has the right to judge her mom. Mariah and her future wife need to support Meri 100% if (and I pray she does, she deserves soo much better!) she decides to leave! Meri is definitely my favorite! But I would absolutely love to see any of the 4 wives to leave, just to see the air leaving Kody’s huge, overinflated freaking ego!

[@vinnievee5710]

Kimberly Kiniry agreed! But Mariah has been brainwashed by the church and the rest of her family. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kody purposely exacted that type of revenge on Meri. He is that hardcore of a narcissist. Meri deserves the world. Kody never deserved a woman like her, she deserves love so much. I’d love to see Christine break free too. I just know there’s a fire inside that woman threatening to break loose. She was happy and brainwashed while she was the favorite but I think since Kody married Robyn she’s realized what kind of person he is and how poorly he treats her. She deserves better and has so much untapped potential.

[@debbiecagle5228]

As a Christian, I'm so very HAPPY some of the kids aren't following in their mom and dad's footsteps 🙌🙌

[@lesliemoore7452]

And as a non-religious person, I agree with you. Let's hope none of Robyn's kids do either.

[@her1193]

I felt so bad for meri when she was basically forced into a divorce. That was terrible. 20+ year marriage down the drain. At that point the relationship was truly over and we all knew it.

[@carolmc9183]

Me too. I find her very intelligent, genuine, hard working and endearing.

[@dianejohanson98]

K D This totally explained why Meri was crying all the time and still they were saying Meri volunteered to divorce Kody so Kody could adopt her kids. So fake!

[@her1193]

Carol Mc right. And her giving up her marriage proved how genuine and endearing she is. She really cares for robins kids but she also knew how fucked up it was for her and I think she resents kody for making her do that because it actually was unnecessary.

[@her1193]

Diane Johanson yes I remember her crying so much even in her interviews back then. It was clear what was going on. She even said she didn’t want to do it. I never understood why robins kids just had to be adopted. It’s clear he wanted robin over all the old wives and just wanted to make her top dog.

[@lulu5803]

If they dont follow along with the cult, they are considered dead to their family and believe they are going to hell. It's not so easy to just walk away when you risk losing your children, family and friends AND believe you're going to hell.

[@Smileyson58]

You’re so right it’s literally what they signed up for

[@raimeyewens7518]

They watch the show so they see him kissing the other woman and going out with them. When the show is on they send out tweets while watching it. So them saying they don’t want to see it makes no sense to me.

[@kamisa7362]

Yeah, they signed up because they felt like they had to it in order to get to heaven. I don't believe the majority of them did this because it's something they actually wanted to do, so of course they get jealous and insecure. I don't see Mary sticking around. I also think their faith has been tested and I don't think their personal beliefs are as strong as they once were, at least with some of them. The majority of them don't look happy, even kody.

[@popdaskittles]

Imagine your family telling you they would disown you. Imagine if this is the only life you know. I think people are too eager to be judgmental.

[@geninecook8390]

Something I don’t understand- if Mari was willing to have an emotional affair when she was catfished, then she was willing to give up her place for eternity right? So what’s stopping her from leaving Kody now? Thanks for all the info. Interesting

[@tinablevins6513]

I'm wondering if she was just looking for sympathy or comfort and it turned out or went farther than intended? I've wondered why she doesn't leave too but if what was said in the video is true, it makes more sense. Saddens me that she has to live under Kody's thumb.

[@jessey141]

@@tinablevins6513 I agree with your comment. I guess she didn't think nobody would find out. I just started watching the show 2 weeks and that woman looks emotionally destroyed. You can't keep all of that in your heart, she'll get a heart attack...so to me, it sounds like she needed to let of that toxic energy out or else. So sad for her

[@kathieholland4176]

Yeah that is interesting. Meri has confessed that she was looking for emotional comfort. So by that she has giving her place is heaven up. And also her daughters'. So Meri could go ahead and leave now if she wanted. Kody has already said that being gay was against their religion. You can't remember how he exactly said it, I took it as he was saying he could forgive. I wish I could really remember how he said it, or at least what episode it was on. But the point I was making is that according to the Covenant Kody is not going to forgive her and when he did that he put his daughters' eternity out there too. Maybe I'm taking it wrong.

Several points I would like to clarify for myself. On one of the first episodes Kody says that he is an “IT salesman”. In their religion the first and legal wife is in charge of the other wives. So when he devoted Meri he essentially punished her for the catfishing stuff etc. and the marriage to Kody made her the first wife therefore the one in charge. Also check out the episodes when they were getting Robins loan for the house in Las Vegas. Robin admits that she had several aliases supposedly because she needed to hide from her ex. Who I believe is David Jessop one of the leaders of the FLDS, I don’t know for sure but the kids names were Jessop. She also reveals that she had bankruptcies in her past. Janell and Christine admit they love polygamy but have never wanted to be a first wife. I also wholeheartedly agree with your statement about when they will file bankruptcy again. I truly believe that’s why they moved to a new state so they can they work the system. If you have the resources I would love to know if they are using Meri’s B&B as collateral and that is why he is keeping her around. I know this is a lot but I would love to here your thoughts.

According to my dates, Christine got pregnant in late July, and Kodystarted dating Robyn in June. She knew he was dating Robyn when she conceived. And also, Robyn & Kody didn't get married within a few days of her delivery. It was more like 5 weeks. Truly was born April 13, they got married May 22.

[@TheMelmarGroup]

I grew up in the mormon church. I no longer believe or attend the church. That being said I do not know of a place in Doctrine and Covenants Section 132 or any other section of LDS scripture that says the more wives you have the greater your strength in getting into heaven. Regarding you can't leave - yes they hold it over your head that if you doubt the church/break your covenants but you can leave a marriage and the church. There is something called unrighteous dominion which mean the man is being unfair/too controlling etc and this is considered a sin. There are times when divorce is allowed and can be recognized by the church. My sister got divorced and when she met and decided to marry her 2nd husband she wrote a letter to the leaders of the church asking that her covenant with her first husband be cancelled so she could do the covenant again but with her now 2nd husband. This was granted by the church. Yes there is alot of dysfunction in this religion and it's not healthy but not everything you've said about the covenant is true.

It depends on the printing, what edition of the D&C it is...the LDS church has made changes to the language and even dropped things all together over the years...the version of the D&C that the Brown's use or that the AUB uses could be different from mainstream LDS....kind of like reading a BOM from J Smith's time versus now...

IDK... I just don't think that these women believe this stuff after being on the show and around so many non-polygamists for so long. You can tell that they're not the same people they were when they started. I think that they just want to stay with him for the same reasons that so many non-plygs do at this point (lots of personal reasons and insecurities, jealously, family etc), but mostly for THE SHOW. I think some of them used to believe those things, but not any more and that's an excuse at this point. That's just MY opinion obviously. I don't see Meri's mother leaving her either, but what the heck do I know? I thought the reason they gave that Robyn and Cody got married was so it would be easier for Cody to adopt her children (not for benefits)? That's what they said and Robyn has repeated that many times. I can't imagine how they could all be married to the same man and all lived together for so many years prior to the show and they don't even like/hate each other. Talk about a personal living hell!

Thank you so much Katie for enlightening us as to the doctrine behind how they live. That said our Mr. Kody is just using bits and pieces to line the coffers of his families way of living. Last nite watching Sister Wives I had to walk out of the TV room several times mostly when Kody was having his one on one time with the camera. His ego knows no bounds. He kept saying if they one housed it the wives wouldn’t like the dynamic then because they’d have to see him with other wives. PLEASE!!! Even that new big compound wouldn’t be big enough to House Kodys head/ego. Kody is no longer studly do right and this middle age realm he currently lives doesn’t glorify him as much anymore. That’s a problem for him. His little eutopic family is doing what happens to everyone. Growing older!!! It isn’t his time anymore. Is there an out to pasture for middle aged polygamous men? Kody and his convictions would just be another book on the library shelves, he wouldn’t be the shiny beacon that others apparently want to emulate. I’m sick of the compound talks. Kody needs to give it up. His receding hairline is becoming more noticeable no matter how much Bozo he gels the rest of his hair. How is it that he can afford a compound? Why is he choosing this nomadic lifestyle? Is he ever happy or is sullen the appropriate look when one shoulders such a mass of responsibility? It’s hard to accept defeat when one is always the one in quotation marks. These 4 wives, much ado about nothing. It’s time to buck up ladies. You little stepford wives start forming a circle.

Women are still treated as second class, are not respected as equals or anything but childbearers! Even intelligence isn't respected in women. Women are to be homemakers and have children and serve their husbands. Men ate all powerful. Needless to say I am no longer in that "cult". I am highly educated, have a great career, and more importantly self respect and a close personal relationship with my Heavenly Father. I am equally loved and appreciated by God as all his other children. I do not believe you have to be a member of a specific religion in order to go to heaven.

@@nicolesaylor4027 Their sect is no better than that of Warren Jessop. Not sure the spelling is correct. It's how they've lived and are brainwashed to believe it is the correct way.

🍁🦫🇨🇦🦫🍁 I LOVE YOUR SHOW! Educational .This is such a seriously misunderstood subject. You are an excellent teacher .Because of you the people ,of all ages and genders ,who escape ,and need support and counselling will find it easier to find from society ! Knowledge is power and generates help ,because of better understanding of these victims it will be there! You are teaching so well! Besides being capable of sounding offensive WORDS CAN HURT ! I hope everyone will be respectful of you and use only careful ,well thought out words in your comments. TO LOSE YOU WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO OUR SOCIETY ! PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO HELP SOMEHOW ,ARE LEARNING WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW HERE !

Kody just said he would divorce Robin if she doesn’t agree with him to buy a house. Doesn’t look very loving to me. Mary’s mother lives in her B& B. Seems there would be a problem if her mother disowned.
