Ysabel has the most beautiful heart. Of course she wants her Dad to love her. Every daughter does. Its just so painful to watch her learn what a real involved Dad looks like and understand how poorly Kody behaves
She sees what other people have and knows what she’s missing. I think she’s afraid to engage too much with David because she thinks Kody will see it as a betrayal and will ignore her further as a result. All she wants is that love she sees other people have. She’s been hurt by him so many times. He also didn’t attend her spinal surgery and when she woke from the anesthesia she cried for him. It’s just horrible.
Ysabel is having trauma flashbacks to when Dayton, Aurora and Breana came into the family. They were REQUIRED to call Kody 'Daddy'. They were reprimanded by Robyn when they did not. They were legally ripped away from their bio-dad. Ysabel knows that Kody and Robyn did this to them. I think Ysabel is afraid that she will be required to disown or be disowned by Kody when Christine and David marry. Childhood trauma. Love is divided not multiplied.
That's a great point concerning Christine. The people around her are not used to her prioritizing herself. Very true. Her daughters being protective is sweet.
Robyn is definitely a helicopter mom. She was so worried about how her kids would take Meri leaving and the kids handled it just fine. The simplest explanation is usually the best with kids. I am sure that they will miss Meri but I doubt that it is going to scar them for life.
Those kids don’t understand who these women are to them. Obviously they never explained they all live in polygamy. Those women were their other mommies. Meri was just Ms. Meri. Not even an aunt. Let alone a mom. Ariel’s was told Christine was dumping her daddy. She didn’t even get that.
Robyn is jealous. She called Kody FaceTime everytime he went to the OG’s houses. She checked up on him all the time. He was talking about taking another wife after the divorces and she said she’d leave.
So many wives do this to their husbands. I remember being caught in the middle of it as a child. My dad refuses to take a call from a wife who then called over 50 times in one night & threaten to beat me if I didn’t give him the phone. We finally unplugged the phone
When Kody said at the Gwen’s engagement party that he enjoys his ‘tender’ Ariella MORE than his grandchildren, that’s telling you who he is: WHY is it a competition for you Kody? As to Meri: I am beyond frustrated with her inability or unwillingness to see the manipulation and duplicity of BOTH Kody and Robyn. As to Christine: I cannot imagine the pain of spending almost 30 years tied to a man who acted like he was throwing me a bone, when he was throwing me a bone. That she has finally found someone who loves, values & wants her because she is eminently deserving of all those things is wonderful!
Yes, I found that out with Cory. My ex acted like he did me favors by paying any attention. Then I get together with Cory and find out what real love is.
I believe Kody was just trying to prove he still has young kids and he plays with her like a real father. He’s being a good parent. She adores him. Plus he’s not around his grandkids.
He wants his ego fed and her money. I guess that Meri already forgot his offer of faking a relationship with her. He’d rather do that than than be poor and so would Robyn...
I look forward to anything you upload on TH-cam more than any other "TH-camrs" now. You are both down-to-earth and entertaining, all at once. Thanks again for doing these, I'm sure it can be difficult at times. XO, Lisa in PA
Did you catch when Janelle said she heard Meri got a release … she said she didn’t know who to talk to get one but seemed interested in one now…… there’s your chance to give her a call and give her some advice!!
Kody will talk mad smack on Meri if she ever gets up the cojones to demand her fair share of their assets. Both she and Janelle are in a tenuous legal position due to the illegality of polygamy, & it’s infuriating to see Kody & Robyn getting away with exploiting both of them and essentially (ethically) stealing what should rightfully be a portion of their combined assets. Meri is in for quite a shock when (or if) she ever reaches a settlement with Kody re the assets, because despite that she thinks he’ll behave ‘like a gentlemen’ she will quickly see he’s not fighting according to any Marquis of Queensbury rules of fairness. Janelle apparently is anticipating this, but is she willing to get in the ring with K & R? Maybe they are waiting to see how the custody/child support case resolves with Christine, but I think they are both going to be shocked at how vicious and underhanded Kody will get to hold on to every penny he can.
I appreciate your perspectives on these episodes. I was raised in a Christian “fundie” world and its fascinating hearing the likenesses and differences. So thankful that I didn’t have to share my dad though. My heart breaks for these kids.
Thank you for sharing your life experience in the AUB. I hope the polygamy community will listen in and re-evaluate some of their beliefs that are so harmful to women. Love listening to you both!
Thank you. I’ve had current members reach out in support & also reach out in frustration that they don’t believe what I’m saying. It’s funny that some who have reached out haven’t been members for very long.
Corey, I'm a Baptist from Texas, and I'm the oldest of four. There's a set of twins, which is me and my twin brother, there's my sister, and then our younger brother. Anyway, when I was growing up my mom would go through all four of our names, plus the dog's names, before she could get the person who was in trouble to answer. FYI, we only had two dogs, and they were both female. It was hard to keep a straight face when she would go for the dog's names. Oh, and we also had a cat whose name would get thrown in there also.
So Ysabel wants a father out of Kody yet she's not had that with him in a long time and fears that David might give her what she doesn't have with her own father. How sad she that she is dealing with this fear. She's unfortunately in a place of seeing what's she's been missing all this time and she's afraid she'll never get it again. Kody is doing a great job of brainwashing his kids. The sisterwives have a lot of work on their hands!
Hi watched you on tictok but giving you love here. ♥️. Thank you I started watching sister wives to get educated on polygamy, then found out they were giving Kody the cloak of charity. They lied about everything pretty much, anyway thank you I’m finally getting the education I wanted. I just love learning different religions.
Wow, thank you. I appreciate the support. I would completely agree with you that the show doesn’t truly reflect the hardships of this lifestyle. Welcome 🥰
Nice! I was hoping to catch you two. Thank you for the perspectives you share. I have heard the "the AUB prophets daughter's" podcast. Really great job. 🙏
Kody divorced Meri legally, but refused to divorce her spiritually, so she would accept no property settlement. Of course, part of her salary continued to flow into the ‘family fund’. So there was no reason to get the legal divorce, except to profit K&R.😡😡😡
Melanie and Cory, always love your take on this waste of space called King Kurls the Sperm donor truly, PS Cory love the King Kurls moniker so much , you and Melanie are so sweet and honest in your take on this hot mess of a man who can ice out all his Bio kids
When I would like to be a fly on the wall, is when Meri sees the interaction with Kody in that trailer. HOPEFULLY she will think that was ridiculous if she wants to continue with Worthy Up
It's interesting to see how Christine is echoing Kody's own behavior in barreling through with her plans to marry as quickly as possible without concern for her kids needs. This is how Kody acted when he was determined to acquire Robyn. Hopefully Christine's husband will not be as distributive as Robyn was.
Difference is that she’s bonded to her kids, she actually raised them. She has relationships either them and Janelle’s. Kody never cared about anyone but himself.
@@ChevonBayless I wasn't raised like that, in that society. Feminist matriarchy from California, that's me... though later I became Evangelical. I think the problem is Christine hasn't fully unprocessed herself from Fundy Mormonism where marriage is the be all and end all, damn anyone who gets in the way! If they are okay with shacking up, then fornication is fine...take it slower for the sake of the children. Rushing into marriage to lock in the partner, so to speak, gets you nothing and might lose you a lot. My family thinks 30ish is a good age to marry but when I got married at age 28, and pregnant two years later, my mom told me I was too young to marry and start having kids. But anyway, I was raised in a family that thought fortification was just fine and even wise. I don't see why delaying marriage is a problem when you don't have an issue with fornication. I just think she has adopted bad modeling from a religion she rejects.
My question is, why did Kody marry women he doesn't seem to enjoy or like or want to spend time with? lol I recognize part of the system he was in is about obtaining more wives to spiritually progress, but if he's going to do that, why choose people he doesn't seem to like on a basic level?
Raspberry, he looks for woman that he could lie and manipulate and dominate and then make future objects for him to be adored by and it makes me sick and I scream Spin off now plz we are so tired of 10 mins of content in an episode and then we call him Kotex cuz he is a bloody mess of a nasty man who was truly a sperm donor not a Father to anyone, almost cussing😠😠😠
@@cathyferran7291 Almost every episode, Kody is projecting some unwanted quality about himself onto other people. It's sad that Robyn has to push him to be a dad when he actively, consciously, created children.
What is the AUB position on paying formal child support and providing health insurance? If Kody was on birth certificates and he had employer insurance he could have insured all 17 kids.
I wouldn’t say there is an official stance on such issues. Most families need every penny so they don’t normally get health insurance. It’s strange to me that Kody wasn’t on the birth certificates. My dad was on every child’s birth certificate that I’m aware of.
Just finding your channel, I appreciate your points of view-direct experience. It seems so very foreign, and I appreciate that you can still smile while discussing this extreme cult. Thank you.
@@Songspinner5551 no especially because you will be damned eternally. I did a full podcast about this on my channel. Some of us felt it was better than staying in this lifestyle. Fortunately for me my attempt didn’t work and I was able to go on and raise my children.
I was not born into polygamy, I was born to parents from the "old country" mentality where only boys matter. When you are a girl and do not count 1/4 as much as any of my 3 brothers no matter what you do or accomplish..... favoritism of any child over others is beyond painful
hello i have a few questions and id like to mail u if u would allow me to im not some weirdo i promise im a momma and a wife i live in florida and ive followed your show through sister wives and im trying to do my own pod cast id be very happy to get any help thank you
Have you visited the subreddit for sister wives? We love you guys over there and if you’re wanting subs, maybe hop over and engage with some of the folks and I bet they come over. You both are awesome 🖤
r/SisterWives or try googling sister wives subreddit. I say there the comments about your interview in growing up in polygamy. And now my sister and I have subbed. Love from Spain.
Ysabel has the most beautiful heart. Of course she wants her Dad to love her. Every daughter does. Its just so painful to watch her learn what a real involved Dad looks like and understand how poorly Kody behaves
My heart shattered for her. She is so beautiful inside & out. I have shed those tears for my dad too. 🥺
She sees how a good dad treats his children.
She sees what other people have and knows what she’s missing. I think she’s afraid to engage too much with David because she thinks Kody will see it as a betrayal and will ignore her further as a result. All she wants is that love she sees other people have.

Hi, Melanie!
Ysabel is having trauma flashbacks to when Dayton, Aurora and Breana came into the family. They were REQUIRED to call Kody 'Daddy'. They were reprimanded by Robyn when they did not. They were legally ripped away from their bio-dad. Ysabel knows that Kody and Robyn did this to them. I think Ysabel is afraid that she will be required to disown or be disowned by Kody when Christine and David marry. Childhood trauma. Love is divided not multiplied.
I thought the same
🥺🥺 that was my first thought too
I agree. She used the word replaced.
Yes, Isabell was pretty close to one, if not both, of Robyn’s daughters, they likely shared a lot of their feelings when the cameras weren’t rolling.
That's a great point concerning Christine. The people around her are not used to her prioritizing herself. Very true. Her daughters being protective is sweet.
It’s sweet to see.
Robyn is definitely a helicopter mom. She was so worried about how her kids would take Meri leaving and the kids handled it just fine. The simplest explanation is usually the best with kids. I am sure that they will miss Meri but I doubt that it is going to scar them for life.
I agree, teach your kids tools to emotionally regulate instead of avoid & hide.
Those kids don’t understand who these women are to them. Obviously they never explained they all live in polygamy. Those women were their other mommies. Meri was just Ms. Meri. Not even an aunt. Let alone a mom. Ariel’s was told Christine was dumping her daddy. She didn’t even get that.
The kids have rarely seen Meri....it all seems bogus to me.....
Robyn look so annoyed when Meri came over. When they sat down on the couch lol at her face.
RBF is a real thing especially for polygamist women. I’ve had it so bad most of my life. 😂😂
Robyn is jealous. She called Kody FaceTime everytime he went to the OG’s houses. She checked up on him all the time. He was talking about taking another wife after the divorces and she said she’d leave.
So many wives do this to their husbands. I remember being caught in the middle of it as a child. My dad refuses to take a call from a wife who then called over 50 times in one night & threaten to beat me if I didn’t give him the phone. We finally unplugged the phone

That she has finally found someone who loves, values & wants her because she is eminently deserving of all those things is wonderful!
Yes, I found that out with Cory. My ex acted like he did me favors by paying any attention. Then I get together with Cory and find out what real love is.
I believe Kody was just trying to prove he still has young kids and he plays with her like a real father. He’s being a good parent. She adores him. Plus he’s not around his grandkids.
I was surprised at Ysabel's fear given that Kody abandoned her long before David came into the picture.
We still love our parents regardless of the trauma.
I think it’s all come to a head for her. Stuff is going to come up for all the wives and kids slowly year after year. They should all see therapist
He wants his ego fed and her money. I guess that Meri already forgot his offer of faking a relationship with her. He’d rather do that than than be poor and so would Robyn...
So sad

Yep. His not talking about Meri, again will be short lived
Yes, I am afraid you are right. Meri will see an extremely ugly side of this man sooner than later
I appreciate your perspectives on these episodes. I was raised in a Christian “fundie” world and its fascinating hearing the likenesses and differences. So thankful that I didn’t have to share my dad though. My heart breaks for these kids.
Any type of fundamental religion comes with traumas. I was more happy when my dad wasn’t home unfortunately. He was abusive more than not.
Thank you for sharing your life experience in the AUB. I hope the polygamy community will listen in and re-evaluate some of their beliefs that are so harmful to women. Love listening to you both!
after this show, AUB might get thin
Thank you. I’ve had current members reach out in support & also reach out in frustration that they don’t believe what I’m saying. It’s funny that some who have reached out haven’t been members for very long.

When I would like to be a fly on the wall, is when Meri sees the interaction with Kody in that trailer. HOPEFULLY she will think that was ridiculous if she wants to continue with Worthy Up
It was a bit over the top
And to think in the next episode he calls her ‘his favorite ex-wife’!!!🤢🤮🥺
You are both kind and funny! Thank you for sharing your story and opinions on SW.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being here 🥰
.Thank You both
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching 🥰
I was wondering about Meri and Kody’s behavior in the moving truck. Thank you for your insight. Next week episode should be interesting.
I think so too. Honestly completely inappropriate for a “married man” 😂😂
You are both beautiful people ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Neither Christine nor David are AUB. I don’t know that they are part of any religion at this point. So they’ve been doing what’s right for them.
Exactly! They don’t need a church with make believe rules to dictate to them.
It's interesting to see how Christine is echoing Kody's own behavior in barreling through with her plans to marry as quickly as possible without concern for her kids needs. This is how Kody acted when he was determined to acquire Robyn. Hopefully Christine's husband will not be as distributive as Robyn was.
Difference is that she’s bonded to her kids, she actually raised them. She has relationships either them and Janelle’s. Kody never cared about anyone but himself.
I agree! I hate it! She almost quoted Kody exactly when she said her and David will be together no matter what the family feels about it, really sad

He did like them back when he married them. Also some marry out of obligation or assignment
