Meri Brown, one of the original wives on Sister Wives, is embracing new beginnings after the end of her marriage to Kody Brown. In a candid Instagram post on October 21, Meri reflected on meeting Kody 35 years ago and the emotional journey that followed.
Though she rarely sees herself as “a sentimental gal,” Meri valued anniversaries and milestones. “Dates and memories are important to me,” she wrote. “When I realized today was 35 years, I took a moment to be a little weirded out by it, and then recognized it for what it was—the first day of the rest of my life.”
Meri’s reflection touched on the rollercoaster of emotions in her marriage. “The past 35 years have been a mixture of high hopes and dashed realities, dreams come true and broken hearts,” she shared. Despite the challenges, she sees value in the lessons learned. “There’s no telling what life will throw at us, and only we can determine how we will react to it.”
Sister Wives: Breaking Emotional Ties and Finding Empowerment
Meri Brown’s post indicates she is now focused on breaking free from the emotional baggage tied to her marriage with Kody Brown. “Just in the past week, I’ve been able to look at what was and what is, and really break free from some of the tethers,” she explained. “Not tethers to him-those are already broken-but tethers to emotions of what is said and how things are portrayed.”
Her reflection hints at newfound peace. “The freedom that comes with letting go and allowing things to just ‘be’ is empowering,” Meri wrote. She described the moment as “a full circle moment… a day the loop has closed.” With each milestone, she feels more of the pain wash away, bringing her closer to healing.
In the post’s closing, Meri expressed gratitude for her experiences, stating, “I’m happy with who I am, flaws and all.” She added confidently, “I’m looking forward to what is yet to come, for it will be freaking amazing, and I’m so here for it!”

Fans React to Kody’s Treatment of Meri on Sister Wives
Meri Brown’s post comes amid tension on Sister Wives. Viewers have seen Kody Brown’s dismissive treatment of her. In the latest season, Meri’s spiritual marriage was ended by the Apostolic United Brethren church. While the decision was difficult, Meri recognized it as necessary. “It was heartbreaking because this is not what I intended when I married Kody,” she admitted.
However, Kody’s reaction to her release has stirred fan outrage. Rather than expressing empathy, Kody publicly criticized her. Many Sister Wives viewers are furious with Kody’s behavior, accusing him of belittling Meri even after their split.
“Kody continues to deflect blame and attack Meri,” a fan commented online. “He’s spent years publicly humiliating her, and now he acts like he’s the victim.”
