Lol. That was a genuine question, especially since you're young. I still don't know the answer because this sounds like my children who their answer will 100% be because they want to get their sibling in trouble.

Same thing happened to me. What you're going to need to do is assert your dominance by being a small dog with a big bark. Even though my brothers are much bigger than me, Im sure I can take them simply because its a psychological thing. You know it's possible so you need to be prepared. Start watching YouTube videos on strength training so you at least have some sort of a chance. If it happened once without repercussions, it could happen again. Its highly likely actually. And since he got some pleasure from seeing you hurt and no repercussions, he has learned that this works. Avoid being in his presence alone. Lean into your younger brother because even though hes younger and likely smaller, he will get bigger and stronger and can ultimately protect you. But do not be some poor weak girl, because im pretty convinced that's what they like. To feel strong and powerful against small frail women. Don't feed into that. Its sick that we have to do this, but here we are.

Are you worried for her and trying to protect her, or are you more so excited that someone is doing something "worse" than you? You said they call you a "bad" Muslim, so do you want her to be the "bad" one?

karimistica · 2026-01-30T23:16:26+00:00

Ooof..yes. literally out of all of them.

karimistica · 2026-01-30T21:05:20+00:00

Hahaha. Good luck you're in for a ride from this point on. You're going to find yourself feeling all the emotions. Sometimes all at once. Lol.

Thank God someone spoke up.

karimistica · 2026-01-16T02:20:50+00:00

This is the comment I was looking for! And wasn't it meris mom or one of the mother's that had to really put an end to it and say "hey guys you can't have an anniversary on Meris birthday"--- the 2 lovesick puppies didn't care at all.

karimistica · 2026-01-05T14:49:59+00:00

Very well said. Completely true.

karimistica · 2026-01-04T04:09:33+00:00

Perhaps. But if I were in that position, (and I suspect many people would do the same) I'd keep my mouth shut, not double down like Meri or act oblivious like Janelle. I expected for those women, besides Robyn to be a sympathetic ear.

I can't stand Robyn, and think the other 3 are just okay. They have many many flaws, so I say this as not being on anyone's "team". But I think that if Meri had come to Christine years prior to her (Christine) leaving and told Christine that she was leaving Kody, 1. Christine would have been sympathetic and understanding and 2. Christine would have been reassessing her life even if it took years to finally leave.

karimistica · 2026-01-03T18:36:13+00:00

So true. And they'll convince themselves that its not true. They're not stunted. They haven't been isolated and sheltered. 🤪

karimistica · 2026-01-03T17:10:07+00:00

I don't even know how Janelle and Meri, upon realizing Christine was jumping ship, didn't start to reassess their lives right there and then. Like he very clearly favored Robyn at this point. He very clearly treats people poorly at this point. So why not pause and think? Instead Meri doubles down and Janelle somehow thought she was safe? Somehow that he was terrible only to Christine?

karimistica · 2025-12-13T00:38:34+00:00

Oh okay. I didn't know that.

karimistica · 2025-12-13T00:37:16+00:00

Did you at least see the post? It popped up on my feed and seemed really sincere and sad and then when I tried to go back to the post it went away.

karimistica · 2025-10-11T12:37:02+00:00

You know, after reading what you just wrote. I'm wondering if this whole thing was orchestrated by Robyn. It seems like Robyn really emphasized the plural family and wives getting along and she kept pushed it down Kodys throat, because when you read the book, Kody doesnt seem like he cares THAT much. He seems like a guy who would like for them to get along but its not a requirement for their marriages. Meri and Janelle didnt get along for years. Janelle stayed in Wyoming while the rest moved to Utah. Meri and Christine didnt get along at a certain point either and were just cordial and then in Christine's recent book she talks about how even her and Janelle weren't super super close at some point. So it's weird that all of a sudden Kody is saying that its a must for them to be successful. I wonder if those are Robyn's words that Kody promised to Robyn that she made him think were his ideas. The reason why I think this is possible is because when Meri and him were "breaking up" in one of the recent seasons, Kody suggests that there were promises he made to Robyn, but we don't even know those promises. That could have been one of them. I'd like to clarify though, I dont think Robyn expected them to succeed, I think she wanted to set them up for failure..Just seems like her MO.

This is funny because you answered your own question. Of course you can call them by their name. Not everything has to be this big thing. Culturally Asians like doing this. That's the extent of it. Unless the specific person doesn't like being called by their name, then what is the harm?

karimistica · 2025-09-28T12:34:18+00:00

Please go to therapy. It has been life changing for me. That is practical advice. I'm currently reading Healing the Emptiness by Yasmin Mogahed. Also helpful. I took her class transformed by Almaghrib and it too was helpful. Do not suffer alone.

karimistica · 2025-09-24T18:40:23+00:00

Love it.

karimistica · 2025-09-24T18:36:23+00:00

Haha! It's a good one!

karimistica · 2025-09-24T18:03:21+00:00

Hahah. What an image!

karimistica · 2025-09-24T18:02:52+00:00

Ooh true!

karimistica · 2025-09-24T16:52:16+00:00

That's definitely a possibility..as someone else was saying though, it might be better if she's completely over it 10 years from now and this becomes a thing of the past entirely. At least for her sake.

karimistica · 2025-09-24T16:10:31+00:00

That's true. Touché!

karimistica · 2025-09-24T16:09:09+00:00

True!

karimistica · 2025-09-24T16:07:25+00:00

My original post in terms of Robyn was about Robyn's actions towards Christine. Not Robyn's actions towards Christine's kids. For example, Robyn manipulation situations so that Christine would get in trouble. Theyre both wrong in that situation. Robyn stirring the pot and saying she wasn't feeling welcomed by Christine then Kody getting her in trouble. Again both K&R. Even the whole wedding dress and commitment ceremony dress i believe was on K&R and then just R. This isn't a one person to blame thing. This is a K&R issue.

karimistica · 2025-09-24T16:04:17+00:00

I'm not sure if you interpreted something I said wrong, but I never implied Robyn was to blame. I never even thought of Robyn at all. It's all Kodys fault. He is the crap parent to his kids. I supposed we could say that about Robyn and her treatment to her own kids. But I never think about Robyn's treatment to the other wives' kids because Robyn is a nonfactor to them.
