from Growing Up In Polygamy · host Growing Up In Polygamy

In this exclusive interview, Sam (Ex-FLDS) and Melissa (raised LDS) sit down with Melanie and Cory, two former members of the AUB (Apostolic United Brethren) church—the same polygamous group the Brown family from Sister Wives came from. Melanie, the daughter of the current AUB prophet, and her husband Cory share their personal experiences and unique insights into Kody Brown and his four wives. Having known the family personally, Melanie and Cory provide an inside look into the real dynamics behind the show and the polygamous lifestyle portrayed on Sister Wives. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more interviews and reactions about polygamous communities, fundamentalist religions, and Sister Wives! 00:00:00 Did Cody Really Love Mary? 00:06:14 Discussion on Cody's Relationships and Choices 00:13:23 The Complexities of Legal Adoption in Polygamous Families 00:19:49 Mary's Journey in the Brown Family 00:26:00 Navigating Plural Relationships and Favoritism 00:32:11 The Challenges of Self-Governance in Restrictive Religions 00:38:40 Christine's Journey to Finding Love Again 00:44:48 Misalignment in Relationships 00:51:10 Community Secrets and Liberation 00:57:28 Conclusion and Thanks Join our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamy If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org At Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
