Sister Wives Go to Therapy
A therapist’s exploration of Sister Wives, one episode at a time. In Sister Wives Go to Therapy, I examine the family dynamics, emotional undercurrents, red flags, and personal development portrayed on screen, through a clinical lens. No diagnoses, just thoughtful reflections on what happens when polygamy, patriarchy, and parentification collide in one complicated family.
Sister Wives Go to Therapy
Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 13: Benevolence, Bitch
Kody's apology to Christine starts well but gets tense when David brings up Kody's relationships with his kids. Janelle seeks guidance from Meri on getting her spiritual release. Meri's shocked friends try to talk her out of meeting up with Kody.
David breaks the conspiracy of silence and brings up Kody's strained relationship with his kids to his face. Christine shows us how gray rocking is really done. Janelle, intimidated by church (read: cult) leadership, sends a text to inquire about symbolic divorce. Meri is steeling herself for her conversation with Kody, and to my dismay, Kody uses the word triangulation semi-appropriately. Is it just Kody or has the manosphere learned another therapy term they can weaponize? This is my favorite episode of the season so far! All bangers, no fluff. While the exchange between David and Kody was exciting, I can't stop thinking about the conversation between Robyn and Aurora. Robyn really can't let her kids grow up, can she?
