Sister Wives star Meri Brown has always had a "sad sack" image, mostly because she never told off Kody Brown when he neglected and humiliated her. Lately, she seems more assertive, but old habits die hard. In the future, if things don't work out with her new boyfriend Amos Andrews, she may retreat into self-pity. Thanks to Kody, Meri's had many "dark nights of the soul." Although she was his first wife, he wouldn't give her the love that she needed. Never destined to be his true love, Meri probably had no idea how soul-destroying polygamy would be.
