Sister Wives Shocking Split! Janelle Moved Out Following Birth Of Baby

Janelle -- who shares husband Kody Brown with fellow wives Robyn, Christine and Meri -- said she had a fallout with the latter, leading to her departure.

"I also had a particularly nasty fight with Meri -- one of the worst we'd ever had," she writes. "I was at my breaking point. I couldn't see my way out of my depression. I told Kody I was leaving. That night, I got into the car and drove to my mother's house. My kids and I stayed with my mother for several months until I found my own place. My job paid a decent salary, which allowed me to buy a better car in addition to my own home. I started to build a life for myself outside the sisterhood."

Things changed with a big family move, Janelle writes.

"Two years after I'd established myself in my own house, Kody told me that he was moving the family to Utah.  'Okay,' I told him.  'See you later.'  No way I was going to give up the peace and independence I had found."

Janelle writes that space was key however, as the "big house changed everything.

"We were able to be together as a family in a normal and relaxed way," she writes. "I had my own space, but my kids had their siblings and the other mothers in the same building."
