Sister Wivesis always an emotional journey, and now thatKody Brown’s tangling with Meri and Janelle Brownover the family’s Coyote Pass land, I’m personally reminded of just howpainful and grueling breakups can be. As a divorced woman, I know what it’s like to try and tie up loose ends after decades of togetherness. I have been there and done that. Have you? I know I’m not alone when I say that I’m triggered when I see women suffering after divorces. I feel a kinship with those who are walking the rocky path I once trudged.
As long as that cursed patch of land remains unsold, Kody’s bound to Janelle and Meri. They must discuss the fate of the land. They must argue about it. The exes in his life, who endured years of Kody preferring Robyn, probably wish they could detach instead.
Sometimes, I feel like Kody’s dragging out the process to stay connected to his exes, but there’s no proof of this. It’s just a gut feeling after having been through the wringer myself.Kody’s talked about his"karmic connection"with Janelle. He’s talked about getting back together.
During my divorce, there was a time when it was push-pull - should we keep talking? Should the break be cleaner, colder? There was chatter about reconciliation that went nowhere… a possible meeting for lunch that I just couldn’t face. Would my life be easier if I’d agreed to go to lunch? Maybe, but really, I’m not sorry I didn’t. My son and I watchedMad Mento deal with our emotions - when Don Draper had trouble with his wife, we just looked at each other. It was all so close to home.
I should clarify that my ex wasn’t a womanizer - not at all. He’s not Don. My ex is a great guy. Both of us did things wrong - the split was no one’s fault.
Janelle Has Enough On Her Plate
Kody Should Sell The Land
Divorce is dicey… a sketchy situation, and really, there’s no fast recovery. The only way out is through, but traveling through that dark tunnel takes forever. There’s so much darkness before you get to the light. This experience will really change you. No one is the same person afterward. Look how different Janelle and Meri are now - so independent, so free, but also older and wiser.
Janelle loved Kody. She said she did. She felt physical desire for him, wanted things to work, was the mother of his kids. For her, accepting that the decades of time and energy she’d poured into that relationship would lead to a permanent split must have been soul-destroying. Now, the woman who exploded last season, finally releasing some of the anger she’s been carrying for years, must go it alone.
She’s in her 50s and, since the breakup, her life has been filled with pain.She lost Garrison Brown- the son she shared with Kody. Life is so unfair. She was already suffering when the two parents lost what matters the most.
Janelle has had some dark nights of the soul, as Kody has, and her strength is awe-inspiring.
I feel like Kody should just sell the land and give her some money - her fair share of the proceeds.Janelle has had money issuesafter working to support the family for years. This really bothers me.
She was out there working, putting food on the table, but when it was over, she said she had almost nothing. Kody said she has the same"assets"as everyone else, but I believe Janelle. I can’t think why she’d lie about something like that. I saw the cramped apartment she lived in. I saw Kody’s big and fancy house. Why would I doubt her word? I don’t.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
I remember, in the throes of the breakup, going to see Jack White. I was in the fifth row, shell-shocked by everything that was going on in my life. Jack started singing a sad song and I stood there crying. His talent helped me to get my emotions out. I think everyone who’s been through this will understand how I felt. I know how Janelle felt when it was over, I know how many tears she cried. Meri too.
Women have dreams and when those dreams just disappear, it takes time to adjust.
Right now, Janelle and Meri are feeling the same kind of pain I used to feel -of course, my ex was in pain too, just like Kody is. It wasn’t easy for anyone, and the fact that a child was involved made it all so much worse, just like in the Brown family. My son and I got through it together, and we’re closer than we’ve ever been. That’s the only real gift to come out of that kind of pain. We have a bond that nothing can ever break. The love we share is so deep, it’s magical.
Janelle Is Detoxing In 2025
She Wants Peace In Her Life
When Janelle, possibly on the fringes of accepting that her spiritual union was really ending, swore at Kody last season, I knew what was coming… that she had some real challenges looming in the distance. I found it heartbreaking. Janelle told Kody to
“f*ck off”
but really, she loved that man. That’s what is so sad.
Janelle and Meri both share children with Kody - they have financial entanglements with him. The process of detachment is so complex, it can be terrifying.Lawyers, documents, tense discussions, a sense of unreality… all who are divorced know the drill.It’s not something a person would wish on anyone, but it happens to so many people.
Can Kody really let Janelle and Meri go? Does he live in the past sometimes, or dream of the “healing” he’s talked about, without realizing that before there can be spiritual healing, the wounds need to be cauterized? I hope he starts to understand that they need space, if only for a while.
Janelle and Kody now share a new grandchild - Maddie and Caleb Brush’s baby girl. Hopefully, that happy life event will help them to see each other in a new way - as exes who can coexist and even share happy moments. However, they may need more time to get to that point. Time is a great healer.
If Janelle needs more time, he should give it to her, selling Coyote Pass to really draw a line in the sand. Janelle’s bravely marching forwards - what a tough and beautiful soldier this woman is - she’s strong, yes, but not hardened by battle. She’s down to earth and sweet, and launched a new business, Taeda Farms, that is so close to her heart. She’ll sell flowers and t-shirts. I really want her to succeed.
Meri Brown Couldn’t Make It Work With Kody
He Wouldn’t Forgive Her For Her Emotional Affair
Meriis thriving too, as seen above, on Instagram, after years of trying to make Kody forgive her for an unfortunate catfishing incident that was probably the byproduct of some pretty intense loneliness.That’s a sad story too, with no real villains.Now that she’s runningWorthy Up, Meri has so much to live for- she’sdating a new man named Brandon Stone. Her life is lit up with hope - all she needs is an answer about Coyote Pass. Kody can give that to her.
Sister Wivesseason 19shows a family coming to terms with a new normal that is sometimes extremely uncomfortable. I feel like ending the war over Coyote Pass is the best thing for everyone.It’s what the exes want, and since Kody still has Robyn and the emotional support that she gives him, I think it should be easy for him to just list the land and then sell it.There’s no need to hang onto a patch of earth that represents so many dashed hopes, and keeps two of his exes in his life.
