Nikki Bella and Brie Bella have been working on their book that allows people to take a deeper look into their lives. The sisters decided to bring out a book that would help everyone know who they are as people and the life they had before they became big names in the industry. However, one important chapter of their lives is the relationship they share with their father. 

The two have not had a good relationship with their father and Nikki confessed that she hasn't met her father in five years. Nikki revealed that her father, Jonathan, and mother did not have a good relationship as the two would often end up in fights. Things got so bad that the pair decided to head separate ways. 

However, their relationship did affect the girls. Nikki confessed that she had trust issues with all the men in her life because of her father. The relationship he had with their mother made her believe that every man in the world would be the same. 

Meanwhile, Brie Bella had a different take on the relationship. Even though she admitted that things had been bad, she said that it was a good decision for their parents to head their separate ways. The sisters decided to let their mother read the draft of the chapter before taking it to their father. 

Their mother, Kathy Bella, was left upset because she felt like their childhood was unpleasant because of all the fights they had. She was disappointed and felt uncertain about what she could do at the moment. However, she spoke to them about why one should walk away from a relationship if it does not bring them joy. 

Kathy confessed that being in a marriage that was not pleasant made her realize how important it is for everyone to head their separate ways in search of happiness. Brie and Nikki understood where these thoughts were coming from and even though they knew things could not be fixed between their parents, the sisters decided to mend their relationship with their dad. 

'Total Bellas' airs on Thursday at 8 pm ET on E!
