Sister women star Meri Brown still relies on one co-wife for support, but the woman she once called her “BFF” seems a little short on empathy this season on the TLC series. Fans who follow her online seem to think she’s putting too much trust in Robyn Brown. After last week’s episode, it looks like Meri is coming to realize this herself.
Sister Wives: Meri Brown’s grief seeps through
Sadness surrounds Meri Brown as the show’s viewers see what she’s dealing with this season. When you consider the whole picture, if anyone deserves to have a good cry for themselves, it’s not Robyn Brown, but the first woman should, some fans suggest.

Fans start their complaints with the luxurious home that Robyn Brown lives in and owns. Reports indicate that the original Sister women matriarch spent her own money to help wife number four buy that house. Yet she is literally left out in the cold when she visits Robyn.
So, fans believe that the first wife could still be a financial source for Kody Brown and his youngest wife at this point in season 18. Meri Brown sits there in pain because as she said, she is like the third wheel with her shared husband and his youngest bride. Yet Robyn continues to talk about her confusion over the family’s demise.
Not once does Robyn come on air to empathize with what her fellow woman is going through. Or at least that’s how many viewers see it.
Someone who seems to care
While Meri Brown fights this losing battle and tries to find a way back to her husband, the woman he lives with is no help. Spending Christmas with Robyn and Kody makes Meri uncomfortable. Then fans find out why while watching the final episode. Kody said he and Robyn try not to let his first wife see the romantic tension between the two growing.
No wonder she suggests she feels like the third wheel. But getting back to Robyn and her lack of support for her fellow woman, some Sister women fans see the writing on the wall. They suggest that no matter what happens to her once best friend, the youngest woman’s loyalty lies with her husband.

In last week’s Sister women episode spoke to Christine Brown. She said she watched Kody string Meri Brown along for years. This was not a sarcastic comment. Christine showed some genuine empathy for her. The only thing Meri gets out of Robyn is, “Kody does what he wants to do.”
So it seems that the concubine that Meri no longer talks to is the one who seems to understand and empathize with her best: Christine.
Sister Wives: Meri questions Robyn Brown’s motives
There will come a time when Meri will stop calling Robyn her best friend and start calling Jenn Sullivan her BFF. It looks like this season fans will get a glimpse of the path she took to get there.
One incident occurred last week Sister women. Robyn told Meri that Ysabel Brown came over around Christmas with two of her sisters. Meri is close to Ysabel and had no idea she was in town. So that hurt.
During the confessional segment, Meri said she wondered why Robyn would even tell her that. She was still living in Flagstaff at the time. So Robyn could have picked up the phone and told Meri she was there. You might even invite her.

No, instead she tells her afterwards, which seems to cause some resentment. Sister women fans were everywhere in that scene. Instead of worrying about hurting Meri’s feelings, Robyn gave her an excuse. She said she had no say in this.
Then there’s Christine Brown, who seemed to have a place in her heart for Meri Brown last week. Yes, the first and third wives are estranged, but there is still some love and compassion emanating from Christine. So today Sister women fans are wondering if Meri Brown picked the wrong concubine to look to for support as the TLC series continues.
