Kody Brown says he is willing to hear his children’s grievances
Kody Brown, who stars in the reality show Sister Wives, has a strained relationship with many of his 18 children.
Most of those children are from his former marriages to Christine, Meri and Janelle Brown.
Kody says he set a boundary with his children and wants his apology efforts to focus on Christine, not other family members.
He has also said he is willing to listen if his children explain how they believe he hurt them.
Janelle has estimated that he is alienated from 90 to 95 percent of his children.
Kody believes the family problems developed as a group after his marriages ended, rather than because one person acted wrongly.
He and his wife Robyn will not return for Sister Wives’ 21st season.

Who should receive an apology
David Woolley
Woolley urged Kody to start with his children, saying they still need to heal.
Kody Brown
Kody said his purpose was to apologize to Christine, not to David or anyone else.
I'm willing to have the conversation. I'm willing to hold space. 'Dad, you did this, you did this, you did this.' I'm willing to hold that space.
Start with your kids
Show that part. Because the women have moved on, but your kids still need to heal.
My whole purpose here is to apologize to Christine. Not to David. Not to anybody else.
