If you can’t be there for your children when they need you you’re not a good parent. This is exactly why you don’t have four families and 18 children, you can’t possibly give everyone the love that they need.

I agree with you! I have no brothers, or sisters, one set of biological parents. I had to have surgery when I was 21. My mother took the day off from work, without being asked. My father didn't "see the need". Told me, "You're weak and useless! Can't you just live through the pain? What's wrong with you? Grow up and live with it!" My Mom guilt tripped him into calling in sick the day of my surgery. Then he slept the entire time. I woke up with an allergic reaction to codeine. My father looked at me and said to my Mom, "You woke me up for what?" He was noticeably "pissed off" the whole time! Kept telling the nurses that I was, "just looking for attention." As soon as we got home, he went upstairs to sleep (3-4pm). My Mom made sure I wasn't bleeding, or uncomfortable. My little cousins came over to "hang out" with me. My father was furious that I was "getting attention"! We watched the hockey game together while my Mom went over to my neighbor's for coffee. My father ate his dinner, didn't offer anything to my little cousins and then went back to bed. I survived, got well and everything went back to normal. But I really never "forgave" my father for acting like such an IDIOT!!! When I was 2, I ended up in the hospital with a very high fever because my father wouldn't let my mother take me to the pediatrician (I had strep throat). My mother told me that I, "remembered things wrong! Your father was so scared!" Scared?! I remember him telling the nurses, "Let her die! She's weak & useless!" The man I knew as my grandfather heard that & put my father against the wall and told him, "Get your act together! That's your daughter!" My 2 uncles then threatened my father to keep his mouth shut! But....I "remembered things wrong." Until....I went to a psychologist at age 28....then my mother admitted (to my psychologist, NEVER to me) that my father did in fact say those things and my grandfather did line him up against the wall, my uncles did threaten my father! All of a sudden the great memory I knew I had was validated by my mother! Then my father expected me to respect him, worship the ground he walked on etc...NOT!!! Kody is experiencing the same backlash from his kids for EXACTLY the same reason! A teacher once told me, "Respect is a two way street. You have to give it, in order to receive it."

I would have more respect if Christine said she was leaving because of the surgery, but she said it was because Kody said he didn't want to have sex with her. It was covid, only 1 person allowed in, and even then it would be the waiting room. She should have had the surgery years ago, but her mom put her through tons of painful physical therapy, a back brace, and prayer because she didn't want her to have surgery. I don't think she should have had to wait longer, but had Kody gone, he wouldn't be able to see any of the kids for weeks or longer. If Christine and Janell had taken covid seriously, the kids wouldn't think their dad just didn't love them when he was trying to keep everyone safe. No surprise the kids saw the divorce coming!- she has been inappropriately venting to the kids about leaving for years, and blaming Robin! It's just crazy to me the support going out to such a toxic person. I have yet to hear how her life will be better, or how it could have been better.

The surgery would have been the final straw for me too. He could not go in the hospital, but just being in a hotel near by, following Covid rules, shows support to his wife and daughter. Also, god forbid something went really wrong, he would have been right there. It seemed pretty scary for both mom and daughter. I was about 30ish when I ended up in the infectious diseases ward of the hospital with 104 degree fever, vomiting, my entire body, especially my neck, was in exteme pain I can't explain. The nurses were taking vial after vial of blood, I was hooked up to fluids, could not eat. The doctor wanted to take a spinal tap, but did not because it was risky with me - I was too scared and might move. I was so sick and scared and nobody came to help me. My mom, who retired early, living in Florida with her husband, never came up to the hospital in Connecticut. She could have stayed at my sister's until she got the OK to come up or even my apartment. It would have been helpful to have someone talk to the doctors, because I was so sick. Also, the nurses weren't on their gsme and it would have be nice to have help in the hospital in general. I was there for over a week. They never were able to figure out what was wrong with me, but thank goodness I was able to get better and leave. My mother is a horrible woman. I will never forgive her for that and many other things.

Strange that we can allow somebody to discount our feelings for years and not even consider that we deserve better.

What she did was great, till you realize that the kids thinking that 'Robin came in to keep Kody to herself and not let him see his other kids'...is actually a lie Christine has been telling the kids, including telling them she was going to leave Kody years before she said a word to Kody, it's actually sick. Christine would have been tickled pink if Kody left the family for her and her kids. She never seemed happier when Mary was catfished and her marriage fell apart. She was practically giddy! Kodys big outburst, was only calling out Christine for treating Robin like garbage from the very beginning. Christine didn't even deny it! SHE is why the kids think Robin is a monster. Robin does have a nanny, ok, she has very young children, older children, and this isn't a weekend, they are in school online during the day.

But I love my husband and I choose to be with him.

Thank you for your sacrifice, and thank your husband for his service. You both are 🙌🏼❤️

We are all rooting for you! Strong woman leaving those chains!! God Bless! May your life be filled with peace and happiness ✨

I am so over-the-moon happy for Christine! She looks BEAUTIFUL, full of light and love after leaving that wretched narcissist. I cannot wait to see her bloom, expand her businesses and interests, and maybe even find the soulmate she always deserved. It's a shame she had to waste 25 years on that self serving leech, but at least she has her beautiful kids as a result of the relationship...or whatever it was. GO CHRISTINE!! You have the world in front of you, and Kody can have his "woe is me" Sobbin' Robin. I hope Janelle wakes up soon, and i'm afraid Meri is just a lost cause.

Christine is amazing! So well-spoken, clear-eyed and able to stand on her own two feet. She had been working towards this point for years. She is finally doing what is best for herself and her children. You go, girl!

Im excited for her new cooking show. She has such a relaxing voice and such good vibes. And you know she cooks budget friendly, big portion meals lol

Christine doesn't need Kody and deserves all of the love of one man.

I have never watched the show because I always thought that it was a horrible way to be married. Also, she said that she knows that God would not want her living that. I am so glad that she got out, and I pray that God will bless her with the right husband!

So proud that she left that situation. The intimacy is exactly what she said. It’s more than physical.

Christine always puts Kody in a better light than he deserves and he always makes her the villain for everyone to see

Such a good mom ❤️

His CHILD needed him!!!! I don't blame Christine at all for losing respect for him.... I have no respect for Kody either. That whole thing was shameful.

Ive heard this surgery is " brutal"!

So happy for you Christine I’ve watched sister wifes from the beginning and Kody not going to his daughters surgery was the most shocking and upsetting to watch.

You go girl!

I had old school scoliosis surgery in 1983. I can still remember how painful it was after the operation. Back then, I was in the hospital for three weeks. One week prior to surgery to do all the pre- op tests, then two weeks after surgery. For Kody to not show up for his daughter was beyond despicable and inexcusable!

I love the kind and honest way she articulates her feelings

I’m crying tears of joy for Christine! Finally you see what so many of us could see and that’s years of narcissistic manipulation. There is a God🙌🏾

I've watched since the 1st episode. All I can say is I am SO very proud of you Christine. For you, for teaching your daughters they deserve more, and for teaching your son that that's not ok. I am just so happy for you!!!

Only thing she could show her daughters to do differently is not be a polygamist. Kody is a good dad, better if he had less kids. Kody is a good husband, he keeps his word, fair with his time, cares about the happiness of his wives, tries to be fair, lets the wives decide what they want their life to look like. Supports dreams, ambition, the kind of mother they are. Takes no for an answer. Provides. Emotionally involved. Really, I don't know what you see that's negative, other than the multiple wives, and they all signed up.

Sometimes, it's a woman child who finally get her to open her eyes leave an abuse situation. She knew Kody didn't value her any longer but to not care or value his own child, blessing in disguse for her to finally say enough. Good for you Christine 👍🏾👏🏾.

Christine deserves everything she says she didn’t have with Kody! I am so happy for her. We’re rooting for you, Christine! 🤍

She looks so healthy and beautiful! It's like a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders! Much love, respect, and blessings to you and your daughter. You deserve the best!!

Aww I get it, as a mom that would be a straw. I’m happy she’s independent and free. Rooting for you Christine 🌸

@@gram87bs having a marriage that lasts 25-30 years, with just 2 people, is practically a miracle. Now a polygamist marriage with 5 people involved, that lasts that long and with that many children, has by definition, been successful. The real issue is Christine wanting to be the favorite wife. When Mary was catfished and it ruined her marriage, Christine was so happy she couldn't stop grinning and being patronizing. But when covid happened, and she didn't have the youngest children like she normally did, she wasn't getting the "favorite wife" feeling, and made choices for Kody to have to pick her over Robin's kids. Christine acted out like a spoiled teenager, damaging relationships to make Kody the bad guy, then walked away like some kind of hero to fans. She has no idea how good she had it. Most people focus on polygamy being rotten, blaming Kody for it, but really don't realize how hard it is to have what Christine had in a marriage.

@@bedriddenbeauty6504 a marriage is only successful if it’s a happy marriage. Their belief system didn’t really allow for the idea of leaving the marriage. They were bred to believe that’s once you’re married you’re married and whatever happens within the family unit is just dealt with. Those marriages haven’t been successful happy for years. You’re telling me he has a successful marriage with Meri? Yeah ok. The only one with a good marriage is Robyn. Any man that can’t be full filled with one partner in marriage has already failed. These women get the shit end of the stick. He gets to bop around to whatever pleases him for the moment while the wives just hope they get picked. It’s bs. This is a nonsensical way to live. He’s shown himself to be very selfish, never wants to take the opinions a of the wives then plays victim when he doesn’t get his way, does not equally spend time with them all or the children. It’s not ok to have that many children and not be a reliable parent. Cause she’s not. But you go ahead and believe what u want bud. He’s getting what he wanted all along. A marriage with Robyn.

Best, most honest interview I’ve seen from this family yet. And before she even said it, of course it was him not coming for Ysabel’s surgery. When you have a kiddo that’s sick and in need and risking life and death you stop everything and focus on them. What if there had been complications, would he ever be able to forgive himself?!?

Actually she said it was because Kody said he didn't want to sleep with her. She said that was the last straw, because maybe Janell didn't mind having a marriage without intimacy, but she refused. Maybe later she said it was the surgery because fans were shocked Kody didn't go, but she definitely said physical intimacy first. I wondered if people were correctly supporting her, so I pictured a man repeating the words and reasons Christine gave for leaving Kody, and they actually sound pretty gross. "I just didn't need him anymore." Leaving because won't stay in a marriage without intimacy...after 25 years, most married couples have very little sex for many reasons. Just coming out of 2 years of covid with spouses on totally different pages, but it's ok to start getting back to normal life, so, no therapy?? After 25 years, a huge family, little one being taken to another state away from everything. No trying. No therapy. I just couldn't do that to my kids. I would try to put the family back together and blame the rift on covid. What has Kody done that was worth leaving?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@bedriddenbeauty6504it’s not so much “what has he done” rather than all the things he hasn’t done. He has (had) 5 wives and zeroed in on #5 as if she was the only one who deserved his time and attention. Christine said it herself…it’s not just physical intimacy, it’s emotional intimacy. Why does she not deserve that after raising his children and loving him for 25 years? It’s because Kody is only in love with Kody and the things his wives can give him. Not the other way around. A marriage, a relationship of any kind is a two way street emotionally even without physical intimacy. You can love someone with every fiber of your being as long as it’s reciprocated. If it’s not there from the other person, why should anyone waste their lives tied to someone who could give a 💩 about them, or their own children? To ask your child to endure more pain for even a day longer than necessary is not the mark of a loving parent. It’s the mark of a user. Why would anyone want to spend their lives…waste their one life in this world with someone who doesn’t hold an ounce of empathy, much less love for them? So, what has Kody done that was worth leaving? Nothing. He has done absolutely nothing for anyone except Kody.

I am beyond thrilled that you finally saw the light, Christine!! Godspeed!

Ohh Wow!! This was deep. Touching to the core. She’s a very intelligent woman with Beautiful soul.

This woman is someone we can all look up to for something... the struggles were real and rough... but she is genuine and strong.

Christine is a wonderful strong woman.We all knew when he didn’t support his daughter at surgery was last straw for her.l hope they film her new life so we can all see how well she is doing as I’m sure she will blossom.l think we all knew when Kody divorced Meri the only woman he loved was Robyn.He’s a horrible little man.xx

I love how she is simply honest about changing belief, not many have the guts to admit it...even to themselves.

SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!! What a way to level up after a breakup. Good for her!!!

Usually that's true, but these wives had 4 identical mansions. If you don't want your husband around all the time, want to know where he is and know he's not cheating...not the worst set up. They got what people would have in a normal marriage- if your lucky. Complaining about sex after 25 years??

Love her honesty.

Kody gets to have an intimate marriage with Robin, but expects his other wives to be okay with no intimacy in their lives. Insane.

She is so beautiful she deserves better and I’m so glad she had the courage to act on her own best interest. Good for you Christine best wishes for your future.

i love how the more she loved herself and got out from under his control the more vibrant and beautiful she became you could literally see it from episode to episode im so glad she left him.

You go!!!! Our children are really the ones who teach us how to live !!!!! Great job doing what’s needed for your kids and yourself!!!

She looks amazing and so happy! Your kids are watching you, and finding the courage to walk away takes so much strength and courage - and they got to see that from you! 👏

I completely relate to her. Intimacy was so important to me. Not the lovemaking. The cuddling and whispering after. My ex would roll over off me and instantly snore. I would get up, sit in our living room and cry. The song ‘Is that all there is?’ Would be singing in my head . If someone does not want intimacy, you cannot explain it to them. You can, but they can never provide it. Go forth and find love and be so happy, Christine!❤️

When Christine said intimacy, she was actually talking about sex. She said "maybe Janell is ok without intimacy in her marriage, but I'm not. " Kody didn't want to have sex with her because of her actions around covid, and the total disrespect she showed him. That should be ok for them to take a break sexually, then see a therapist to work out what covid brought up...at least for the kids. Try. But that was it.

I knew in that moment when Kody said he wouldn’t go to Ysabel’s surgery that was final nail in the proverbial marriage coffin. Christine seems so light, happy and free now!

I nailed it - what she explained about being there without him opened up her eyes.

I am glad yaw gave her a feature. She’s such a great person.

He was asking his poor daughter to wait when her pain was at a 10. Gheesh

She is so much better without him & robin. Cody is toxic to anyone

Good for you, You are so gracious about your realization and honest about how Kody failed as a father. Its heartbreaking to watch those scenes where he rejects you as a wife regarding not wanting intimacy and not being there for his child. I know fathers who would battle Satan himself if it meant they can be there for their childs events and Kody very easily gave a pass to that.

Good for you Christine! You are shining!!! Don’t let anyone steal your light!

" I didn't need him anymore" nope she sure didn't!

She looks so happy and beautiful finally.

Christine is so strong! Tonight's episode made me cry. I could hear Christine and all Kody did was gaslight every issue she brought up. His excuses for being so lacking are inexcusable. He does have a favorite wife and his others wives are expected to pretend it's okay and kiss Robyn's feet. Robyn pretends she cares, but in reality, if she really did she would withhold herself from Kody until he fixes his relationship with Meri and Janelle, and force him to be a decent man, because he is far from decent. I hope Meri and Janelle wake up and leave. Neither of them are are as strong or as intelligent as Christine, if they were they would already be gone.

If she's saying she was too clingy, that's excusing his behavior on some level. He deserves NO outs for his behavior! I like the rest of what she is saying!
