Gabriel “Gabe” Brownis letting his boundaries be known.

As Gabe made and enjoyed breakfast with his momJanelle Brownduring the Sunday, Oct. 13 episode ofSister Wives, the 22-year-old revealed that his fatherKody Brown, 55, had “hit me up” to chat. “It was like strange because he was like, ‘Hey, I miss you.’ And then, he was like, he kept, like, phrasing it like I owed him an apology,” Gabe recalled.

“Eventually, I was just like, ‘Hey, unless you’re, like, actually ready to have a relationship and fix things, then we’re not going to talk anymore,'” Gabe continued. “He came back a couple of days later and texted me. He’s like, ‘Hey, I’ve been like thinking about what you’ve been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.’ I was like, ‘Forgive me for what?’ Like, what’s going on here?”

At one point, Gabe said: “I told dad that if he doesn’t change and he can’t take accountability, then I just won’t ever see him again. And I’m perfectly OK with that.”

Janelle, meanwhile, noted that she doesn’t “know what it would take at this point” to get things back on track, especially with everybody in the family being “so busy and they’re starting to spread out across the country.” But Gabe said, “I think it would take Dad really setting things straight. And, I think that that would take an act of God.”
