Sister Wives star Kody Brown has officially confirmed that he is absent from his daughter, Truely’s, life. She is the youngest daughter of Kody and Christine Brown Woolley, born in Season 1 of the series. So, why is he so MIA? Keep reading for more details.

Truely Brown was the thirteenth Brown child and was born in Season 1 of Sister Wives. Fans watched as Christine Brown Woolley prepared to give birth to Truely, while shopping with Meri and Janelle Brown. Everyone was so excited for this new arrival, but there were a few twists. Christine had never given birth in a hospital, so this was a big deal. Furthermore, when she was in labor, Kody Brown was smooching Robyn Brown, whom he was engaged to at the time. As a toddler, Truely was very ill and, as she grew up, her father did not treat her the same as he once did.

She did not feel comfortable at the home he shared with Robyn and their five kids. Now, it seems that he is estranged from Truely. When she moved with Christine to Utah from Flagstaff, Kody appeared to be heartbroken over this. That was likely a facade as he tries to trick viewers, his family, and himself into believing he has a heart. The first two parts of the Season 19 One on One have aired, and in them, Kody and Christine stated that they do not see each other. That led one fan to make this observation:

• Both Kody and Christine said they don’t see each other or speak. So there is no way that they are coparenting their minor child together.

Truely is fifteen now, so she could very easily go and visit her father on her own. Additionally, he could come to Utah and see her, but not Christine. He has older children living in Utah who would likely help facilitate a get-together with Truely and Kody. So, what did fellow Sister Wives fans think of this, and did they agree he was an absentee dad?

He’s Involved

Sister Wives fans believed that Kody Brown does see Truely, but with assistance. Christine Brown Woolley had filed for child support from Kody, and that required a paternity test, as he was not on the birth certificate. Could that have caused further strain on the relationship? Here is what some had to say:

• You can’t coparent with a narcissist. You parallel parent. It is not uncommon to have another party facilitate parenting time exchanges.
• Christine said she would try to text Kody to set up visitation but Kody would ignore it. Eventually, she started making arrangement through Mykeilt and Ysabel. Roping them in sucks, but there really wasn’t a choice if she wanted Truly to see her dad.
• My guess is if he was a caring and loving father to her, she wouldn’t be asking for child support.

Many did believe that his other daughters were instrumental in his seeing Truely. However, no one will really know what is going down behind closed doors.
