Turbulent Family Dynamics and Janelle’s Emotional Revelations
Over the years, the relationship between Kody Brown and his children, including Garrison, had become strained. Janelle, Garrison’s mother, acknowledged the challenges her children faced in a confessional interview where she lamented over their rocky relationship with their father.
Janelle shared her concerns for her boys’ mental health, particularly for Garrison, stating, “Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything. And Garrison just seems angry or sadder, like, he’s not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be.”
In a later episode, Kody openly acknowledged the rift between him and his children. While expressing hope for reconciliation, he shared, “I think and hope that in time we’ll just get over this and that we’ll be safe being back around each other. Right now, there’s not really an open door with Gabe and Garrison. They’re not willing to engage with me.”
