Sister Wives’ son Gabe Brown hit his father Kody Brown with an ultimatum. We saw the family division deepen during season 19. Kody lost contact with all of his adult children. One by one, they moved away. And now Gabe is the latest to say he’s ready to walk away from his father once and for all.
TLC’s Sister Wives episodes see Kody Brown’s older children becoming fed up with his neglect. Gabriel (Gabe) Brown, one of Janelle Brown’s boys, is the latest to lose patience. If you’ve watched the past few seasons, you know that the pandemic has been a deal breaker for the entire Brown family.
Kody set strict rules that most of the family found too much to tolerate, including Janelle and Christine Brown. And most of their children. And Kody even accused two of his older sons of prioritizing “wetting their pencils” over safety during the COVID crisis.
Gabe Brown recently spoke to Janelle about a conversation with Kody. He said Kody contacted him to talk. But Gabe told Janelle that his father acted like he owed Kody an apology. But he doesn’t feel like he needs to apologize for anything to his father.
In the Sister Wives episode, Gabe told Janelle that he made it clear to Kody that unless he was willing to make a real effort to make things right, he was done communicating with him. Then Gabe told Janelle that Kody sent a text a few days later saying I forgive you, you will forgive me.
And that really upset Gabe. He didn’t see what he had done that Kody needed to forgive him for. But on the other hand, Gabe definitely thought his father should apologize for the things he had done. At this point, Gabe told his mother that he was ready to cut him out of his life completely. And he wouldn’t be the first kid to do that.
Sister Wives Gabe Brown Gives Kody Brown An Ultimatum To Repair Broken Relationships
Lack of responsibility is a recurring problem for the Brown children. And Kody Brown’s ex-wives. For example, Mykelti Brown Padron, recently lashed out after watching a recent episode of Sister Wives. She said her father never took responsibility. And even when he does, he always blames others.
In his chat and confessionals on the TLC show, we heard Kody say that he wishes he had never married Meri Brown at all. And that he never liked Meri, Janelle or Christine Brown. That’s a terrible thing for his children and three ex-wives to hear, isn’t it?
For his children, hearing him say that he should never have married their mother is like saying that he regrets the event that led to their existence. It’s not the kind of thing that earns you the title of “Dad of the Year.” Kody also blamed the distance between him and his adult children on Christine and Janelle. He accused them of having denigrated him.
Janelle Brown said his poor treatment of their children was the main reason she ultimately left Kody. Additionally, she said she thinks Kody used the pandemic as an excuse to withdraw from the family. That way, she said, he could end up with Robyn Brown, his favorite wife, and their children.
Janelle isn’t sure at this point if Kody will ever mend the broken relationships with his children. Gabe said it would be a divine decision.

Additionally, Gabe Brown said he misses seeing Kody and Robyn’s kids. But he has little hope of having a relationship with Robyn. Gabe says Robyn is playing the victim. And he says she claims everyone always hated her and her kids.
Given that the family lost Garrison Brown, you would think that Kody would do everything he can to mend the rift with his remaining children. But we haven’t seen any evidence of this happening in real time. Even Robyn begged Kody to prioritize his kids over his feelings.
