Sister Wives_ Christine Says Robyn Upended Their Family By Being Kody's 'Favorit

Transcript

00:00 "I don't think Robyn's ever lived plural marriage, honestly.

00:04 Because as soon as Kate, as soon as she came into the family, even before they got married,

00:08 I just don't even want to go down the road. It just doesn't help with anything.

00:12 It just doesn't help with anything. I left Cody because I could see he had favorites."

00:18 Christine Brown is still emotional about ex Cody Brown playing favorites over a year

00:24 after their split. "I never looked back. I just started moving forward."

00:27 On Sister Wives, the confession comes amid the Brown family's divide during the holidays.

00:32 "I don't have my whole family together again. This is the second Thanksgiving in a row."

00:35 But after being separated for Thanksgiving, all the kids had a sweet idea to bring them

00:41 together during Christmas time. "Logan texted a group chat of the siblings that he wants to do

00:46 a sibling gift exchange. And somebody said, 'Okay, let's tell all the parents about this.'

00:50 And Robyn gets involved in the conversation and says, 'Let's do a video chat.'"

00:54 "I was pushing for the video chat for the sake of the kids. When I was getting all this pushback,

01:02 I just finally went, 'Why am I trying here?' And I was like, 'Fine, I'm out.'"

01:07 "At one point, she said, 'My kids don't even remember who their siblings are.'

01:11 And Hunter was like, 'One video call's not going to help that.'"

01:14 Ultimately, the whole thing quickly took a left turn.

01:18 "And it got blown out of proportion that they didn't want to hang out. And then suddenly,

01:24 no one wanted to hang out. And then all of these hurt feelings about when

01:28 Robyn first came into the family came out."

01:30 "Then it just turned into this whole big, like,

01:32 kind of squabble between my kids and a bunch of the other kids."

01:40 "With some of the things that were said and expressed, I don't know if we ever come back

01:44 from it." "It was a horrible day."

01:46 "Once again, I feel like our family is just dividing."

01:50 "I think the biggest thing for me is that people understand that we chose this. We're not broken."

01:56 As a result of the blow-up, Cody decides to spend Christmas at Robyn's house that year,

02:00 a choice that doesn't surprise Christine.

02:03 "I left Cody because I could see he had favorites.

02:06 Well, when you have a wife that's a favorite, your other kids are going to see, and they're

02:12 going to have a hard time with that. It doesn't mean they don't accept her, but they don't accept

02:17 her as much as Cody did then, I guess." Well, fast forward to present day, Cody's

02:21 left with just Robyn as his wife. Following in Christine's path, Janelle and Mary both have left

02:26 him. "It's so good because we can really see

02:29 each other and who we are and, you know, what our views and preferences and opinions are,

02:36 and they're always changing." Since her split from Cody,

02:39 Christine's found love and is engaged to David Woolley.

02:42 "Just, he's absolutely a dream come true." And if her happiness is any indicator to

02:47 what Mary and Janelle can have after Cody, they'll also be living their best lives too.

02:52 "It's more like a personal strength that I feel like I have more than I've ever felt before,

02:58 because I was able to make steps for my future and for my present,

03:02 and so I just feel more confident as well."
