Growing Up In Polygamy

In Sister Wives Season 20, Episode 12, Kody finally begins his long-overdue apology to Christine — but just as things start to get interesting, the episode cuts it in half. We’re left on a major cliffhanger, with the second half of Kody’s apology pushed to the next episode, raising even more questions about whether this is real accountability or just another carefully controlled moment.Let us know your thoughts in the comments: Is Kody’s apology genuine, and what do you think will happen in part two?If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

In this week’s Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 11 reaction, we break down Kody’s long-awaited apology to Janelle — and why she was the one he chose to talk to first. We talk about the grace, patience, and kindness Janelle shows him in this moment, and what it says about their history and the dynamics in the Brown family.We also dive into Meri’s painfully awkward dating event, where she’s trying to move forward but the energy is… rough. And we cover Christine’s hesitation to meet with Kody, even as she leans toward doing it for the sake of her children.As always, we bring our perspectives as former Mormon and former FLDS members to unpack the religious, emotional, and family dynamics playing out in this episode.If you enjoy deeper dives into polygamy, faith, and family culture, make sure to stick around for the full reaction!If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

In our reaction to Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 10, we take a close look at Kody’s sudden desire to “apologize” to his ex-wives — and why it doesn’t feel like the sincere accountability he thinks it is. Instead of owning the hurt he caused, Kody seems more interested in apologizing on his terms, in his timing, and in a way that centers his comfort rather than the women he hurt. We also touch on Janelle’s background and how she came to join Mormon fundamentalism, but only as context for how deeply these relationships were rooted for her .👉 Like, subscribe, and let us know what YOU think of Kody’s apology tour.#SisterWives #SisterWivesReaction #SisterWivesSeason20 #KodyBrown #JanelleBrown #PluralMarriage #RealityTVIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org

In this week’s Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 9, we react to the Coyote Pass standoff where Kody and Robyn can’t even be bothered to say hi or goodbye to Janelle and Meri.We also talk about Christine and David’s spa day, and how Christine is continuing to grow and learn communication in a monogamous relationship — something completely new after decades in plural marriage. And of course, Janelle’s girls trip to New Orleans, where she finally lets her hair down and admits she needs a spiritual release from Kody before she can truly move on.But the biggest question of the episode? Kody claims he wants to repair his relationships with his children…Is he being genuine, or is he just saying it because the cameras are rolling?If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

In this episode, we’re reacting to Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 8, and wow… Coyote Pass finally sells, but not without a super awkward Brown family moment. Janelle, Meri, Kody, and Robyn all show up to sign the paperwork—only to sit in their cars in a full-on standoff where nobody wants to get out first. 😅We also touch on the Browns’ odd plural-family finances and how their setup created tension long before this moment.And of course, we had to poke a little fun at ourselves when the episode sparked a totally random conversation about whether women really like kissing scruffy facial hair or not. 😂Join us as we unpack the awkwardness, the tension, and the humor in this week’s episode — all from the perspectives of an ex-FLDS member and a former mainstream Mormon.👇 Let us know in the comments: Would YOU have gotten out of the car first at Coyote Pass?If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org
