“Not Family Anymore!”: Kody Brown’s Uncertainty About Coyote Pass Impacts Sister Wives’ Ex-Spouses’ Healing Process

Sister Wives star Kody Brown seems to be unwilling to sever ties with his patriarchal authority, particularly as he continues to prolong the saga surrounding Coyote Pass. Each refusal to proceed with the sale of this contentious parcel creates additional hurdles for his ex-wives, Janelle and Meri Brown, making it increasingly difficult for them to establish their independence from him. Their emotional trauma, stemming from their relationships with Kody, is heightened by his actions. The complexities of their financial entanglements serve as a constant reminder of a past they are eager to forget.

This situation keeps them in a perpetual cycle of emotional distress, reminiscent of a painful history that they wish to move past.

Historically, Janelle and Meri have been overshadowed by Kody’s affection for Robyn Brown, who received the majority of his focus and admiration. Meri and Janelle—the latter having recently sold her share of Coyote Pass for a mere ten dollars—endured years of emotional neglect. Just as men desire recognition and admiration, so too do women, yet Robyn remained the sole recipient of Kody’s devotion. This raises questions about Kody’s emotional fragility: rather than nurturing those who have been sidelined, he continues to complicate their lives. A genuine act of kindness would involve expediting the sale of the property and equitably distributing the proceeds among his ex-wives.

Why Is Kody Struggling to Let Go?

What Might Be His Perspective?

On the surface, the ongoing debate surrounding Coyote Pass appears to be purely financial. Janelle has openly stated that the Browns are “not family anymore”and recognizes Meri’s decision to involve legal counsel as wise. However, the process of disentangling their relationships—both emotional and financial—is far from simple. Recovering from such deep-seated connections necessitates a journey of introspection and emotional healing, akin to grieving the loss of a loved one.

Adjusting to a new reality requires mental reconditioning and the ability to find grace in transformed situations.

These women have faced considerable challenges, especially after enduring the complexities of a relationship with a partner who did not genuinely love them for an extended period. Following their decision to embrace singlehood, they continue to grapple with Kody over issues related to co-parenting and the financial aspects of their past commitments.

The Trials of Kody’s Ex-Wives

When Will Their Hardships Conclude?

Janelle recently faced the tragedy of losing her son, Garrison Brown. In facing this heart-wrenching situation alone, she feels the weight of her loss more acutely, while Kody is able to rely on Robyn for support. Janelle’s struggles with the ongoing issues regarding Coyote Pass—highlighted in a recent ExtraTV clip—leave her wishing for a smoother path forward.

While all ex-spouses appear together on the show, it is possible that Kody is deliberately delaying the sale of Coyote Pass as a means to create tension for viewers. Alternatively, it may be that the authority he held over their relationships has become addictive. Previously, Kody directed the lives of four adult women, and while Robyn enjoyed more influence, she still recognized Kody’s role as the leader of the family.

It’s hoped that Kody can interact with his ex-wives more compassionately. Now that he is in a traditional marriage offscreen, it signals an opportunity for personal growth. Kody’s best course of action would be to support the women who face life independently, which would reflect maturity and responsibility. Selling Coyote Pass and fairly dividing the proceeds, even if it means relinquishing some of his control, would demonstrate his acknowledgment of their sacrifices over the years. They played a substantial role in shaping the man he has become.
