During the latest episode of Sister Wives<\/em><\/a>, Kody Brown<\/strong><\/a> put the blame on Christine Brown<\/strong><\/a> and Janelle Brown<\/strong><\/a> for his issues with their respective kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristine and Janelle have kind [of] banded together with this whole thing,\u201d Kody, 54, claimed in the Sunday, September 17, episode of the TLC series. \u201c[They] basically shattered my whole world<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kody alleged that his relationships with the children he shares with Christine, 51, and Janelle, 54, are strained because of their mothers. Kody shares Aspyn<\/strong>, 28, Mykelti<\/strong>, 27, Paedon<\/strong>, 25, Gwendlyn<\/strong>, 21, Ysabel<\/strong>, 20, and Truely<\/strong>, 13<\/a>, with Christine. He and Janelle share daughters Madison<\/strong>, 27, and Savanah<\/strong>, 18, and sons Logan<\/strong>, 29, Hunter<\/strong>, 26, Garrison<\/strong>, 25, and Gabriel<\/strong>, 21<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in a place where I\u2019ve been separated from my children because they\u2019ve kicked me out of my home or the space that I had with those children,\u201d he said during a confessional. \u201cI haven\u2019t had the emotional fortitude to be able to reach out, not even knowing what to do or say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kody quipped: \u201cAnd the phone goes both ways, the kids can always call me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season, Kody\u2019s issues with two of his and Janelle\u2019s boys \u2014 Gabe and Garrison \u2014 came to a head after the kids blamed fourth wife Robyn Brown<\/strong><\/a> for Kody being M.I.A. from their lives during COVID<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Kody claimed to Janelle that he no longer required an apology from Gabe and Garrison<\/a> to celebrate the 2022 holidays, he opted not to see Janelle\u2019s kids for Christmas. The tension among the family led to resentment from both Christine, who split from Kody in November 2021<\/a>, and Janelle, who confirmed in December 2022 she and Kody were separated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Christine expressed frustration during Sunday\u2019s episode after she learned Kody hadn\u2019t spoken to Janelle\u2019s youngest child, Savanah<\/a>, since her birthday \u2026 including on Christmas.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSister Wives\u2018\u00a0Janelle Brown and Kody Brown\u2019s plural marriage was anything but conventional ahead of their 2022 split. Janelle and Kody\u2019s lives were intertwined well before they spiritually tied the knot in 1993. Janelle\u2019s late mom, Sheryl Brown, and Kody\u2019s dad, William Winn Brown, were married for years before William\u2019s death in 2013, making the eventual [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSavanah\u2019s birthday is the beginning of December. And it\u2019s the middle of January. He lives a half an hour away. He comes into town. It\u2019s just this pattern that he has,\u201d Christine told the cameras. \u201cWhy are [Janelle and Savanah] still living here? Why? Why stay in this? Oh, my God. I\u2019m so mad. I\u2019m so furious at this whole situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savanah was equally as upset by what transpired, telling Christine and her mom, Janelle, \u201cI\u2019m angry at him, mostly. And I was really sad \u2019cause, you know, that\u2019s my dad. But now I\u2019m just angry at him. [There were] no gifts, no nothing.\u201d Janelle admitted she was \u201cfloored\u201d that he made no contact<\/a> on Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Savanah wasn\u2019t here, I would not be as in control. I am so frustrated,\u201d Christine said in a confessional interview. \u201cI don\u2019t care if he\u2019s mad. When you\u2019re a dad, you\u2019re a dad. And you step up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKody Brown\u2019s relationships with Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown have all had their ups and downs \u2014 but many Sister Wives viewers were shocked when nearly all his wives started to leave him. TLC fans were introduced to the Brown family in 2010 when he was legally married to Meri and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Christine pointed out that Kody\u2019s actions of leaving Janelle and her kids in the lurch hit a nerve for her after her own drama with him. \u201cI don\u2019t like seeing it happen to Janelle,\u201d she said, noting, \u201cMy kids felt neglected for years. It\u2019s just happening all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christine concluded by asking, \u201cIs he going to leave everybody<\/a> but Robyn?\u201d<\/p>\n
