A major takeaway from TLC's 'Sister Wives' is the relationship that Janelle and Christine Brown share. The two have been each other's constant source of support through all the highs and lows.

If you've seen 'Sister Wives', you know the drill; none of the wives have it easy with their husband, Kody Brown. Even still, Janelle and Christine in particular have pushed through against all odds, emerging stronger than ever. Christine has always cared for Janelle's kids like they are her own. She even raised them since nappies, at a time when Janelle was a working mom. As is understood, they're literally best friends and were probably even sisters in their previous lives!

Having said that, how does Janelle feel about Christine leaving the family? Of course, she is upset. Her kids absolutely adore Christine and sincerely appreciate everything she has done for them and continue to see Christine as a second mother. Since Christine is a natural giver, she didn't mind putting others' needs before her own. 

When talk host Sukanya asked Christine about her opinion on leaving, she said that she had to choose between her own children and Kody and chose the former in a heartbeat.



 

As a mother, she had the responsibility to cater to her children's needs, make sure they were stable and secure. In addition, she had to call it quits on her marriage since she officially reached her saturation point with Kody; having been put up with a lot and subjected to beyond the limit a human can possibly take, mentally, emotionally, and physically. 

Christine also mentioned that there were several times that she took Janelle's side over Kody because she knew Janelle was in the right. 



 

The move will definitely impact both women and their respective kids, no doubt there. Christine did mention that she'd terribly miss living with Janelle, but a relationship like theirs knows no bounds. Maybe this BFF duo should just move in together and have their own spin-off show!
