In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip from Sunday’sSister Wivesepisode, Meri, 51, admits, “I have a lot of emotions about this whole situation.”
“I feel angry and I feel a little betrayed, and I feel like I understand where she’s coming from,” she adds of Christine, 50. “I also know that anger is a secondary emotion. I’m hurt. I’m hurt that she doesn’t see value enough in our family.”
Last November, Christineannouncedon Instagram thather spiritual marriage to Kody was over. In September 2021, she relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah, and still lives there with daughterTruely, 12. (The exes are also parents to sonPaedon, 24, and daughtersAspyn, 27,Mykelti, 26,Gwendlyn, 20, andYsabel, 19.) Kody has a total of 18 children between the women.
“I’m angry about Christine leaving the family,” Kody, 53, later says in the clip. “I’m angry that she’s moving to Utah. I’m angry that she’s trying to sell the house. I’m angry that she moved my stuff out. I’m angry that she asked me to leave. I’m angry about a lot of things.”
As Christine speaks to the group, she reveals that she put the house on the market and it is now under contract — which prompts Janelle to respond with a “yay!”
Kody then asks in a confessional, “Why is Janelle saying ‘yay’? I don’t get her thinking.”
“I found a house and I am moving next week,” Christine continues. “I know it’s all fast. It all happened yesterday. We’ve been looking for about three days.”

While the family has known that Kody and Christine’s marriage has long been over, they still have a hard time coming to grips with the reality.
“It’s just one of those things where it’s like there’s nothing I can do here,” Kody tells cameras. “I’m not going to express my undying love for her like, ‘Please come back.’ I don’t even like her right now.”
“There’s really just nothing for me to say. What am I supposed to say? Congratulations, you’re leaving the family?” adds Meri, who previouslyentered a rough patchwith Kody thatled to them forging more of a platonic bond.

She continues, “I don’t feel jealous of Christine that she’s leaving and I can’t because I can. I can do whatever I want. My strength is sticking around and seeing if Kody would be willing to work on a relationship so I leave that door open but I’m not pining away for it.”
