Christine and Janelle are not letting themselves get pulled into Kody’s ongoing victim narrative. “I think he’s trying to find fault because he’s not liking things that are happening in his life,” Christine told ET. “So he’s trying to find fault with other people.”
Sounds like classic narcissist behavior.
“I feel bad that he feels like that,” Janelle added. “But it does feel like he’s trying to find a reason.”
Christine added that Kody is most likely searching for an answer as to why his life imploded. Also, reasons as to why he’s currently estranged from some of his former wives and children. But as far as she’s concerned, the relationships he should be focusing on are the ones with his kids.
“His relationship with his kids is his responsibility,” she said. “He needs to fix it.”
And that strained relationship with his children may have impacted his marriages more than he cares to admit.
He needs to be better with the kids
Christine and Janelle would love for Kody to be better with the kids. Christine, who now lives in Utah, said she’d cancel plans when Kody comes to see their youngest daughter, Truely, 13, so that she can spend time with her dad.
And both former wives agree that Kody’s friction with his kids contributed to his unraveling marriages. Christine admitted that it was a factor in her decision to leave. She said the way he was with the kids was not the relationship she wanted for them or herself.
Janelle added that she and Kody drifted apart in the natural ebb and flow of relationships, but then he became estranged from the children, and it was the sign she needed to know she had to move on.
“I would have stayed and stayed if the kids were okay,” Janelle admitted. Although she’s happy where she is now, she said she remains connected to Kody through their children and hopes he tries to repair his relationships with them.
“I hope that eventually, time heals,” Janelle concluded.
