Sister Wives

[Gracedis1]

Did anyone watch Kody's apology tour episode with Meri??

She stood her ground with him, finally!

And interesting to see Meri and Janelle communicate more over the sale of Coyote Pass and Janelle seeking her own spiritual release from the elders of the church.

I loved how she called him out and asked if he apologized for being toxic to her. The apology tour was for him. The women have moved on. And he refused to talk about the kids. They are the ones he needs to apologize to.

I hadn't seen that yet.

The description makes me laugh. She is a big part of the reason for the failure of all of this.

Exactly. If he had a relationship with the kids, that could have been a good common ground lead into his "apologies".

They could have discussed something like "hey, it didn't work out between us, but our kids are pretty great and isn't that a good thing."

But for Kody to think he could discuss Meri's friends and not any of the kids without getting angry was pretty telling.

Kody is such a narcissist. He went on and on with the whole "I want you to move on. I want to give this to you so you can move on." I'm glad Meri was upfront with him and told him she has moved on and her life is good.

My XH is a narcissist and some of the things Kody says and does give me whiplash. Him not wanting her friends to talk about him or for Meri to tell their business to her friends. My XH was huge on that. "Don't tell anyone MY business." Ummmm it was OUR marriage. If I want to vent to someone it's MY business too. Just always wanting to have control.

I think Meri probably was a PIA to live with but I think it's because she didn't play the quiet submissive wife as much as the others so she's seen as problematic for speaking up. I'm glad she has a her voice back because Kody and family put her through it for years. She really had it hard. And she has to live with the fact that she brought Robyn into the family and it is the main reason for the demise of the family.

This is exactly how I feel. I wouldn't be able to live with Meri by any stretch - I don't think I could even know her casually/socially... but I am proud of her for not backing down. I'm sure that maybe in private she was more aggressive, the Sister Wives book that the Browns all wrote, plus Christine's comments this week and Robyn and Kody's vaguenesses... yeah. But the bottom line is she said stuff he needed to hear and she said it in the open so he can't deny it. Both David and Meri told Kody he needs to work on his relationships with the kids and he is just not ready to hear it. Pretty sure if he's actually "sent on a mission by God" it would be to heal the wounds with his kids.

The only thing is it's been kind of roundabout said that it wasn't ACTUALLY Meri's idea, Kody and Robyn kind of mutually saw each other and Kody was the one who encouraged Meri to talk to Robyn. I think without even speaking Kody and Robyn both reverse psychologied her into thinking it was her idea.
