Karlyn says her family was close, until her mother, Jodi, divorced her father, and kicked her and her brothers, Blake and Jordan, out of the house -- after she says they sided with their dad. Although Jodi lives only five miles away, Karlyn says she has not seen her mother in more than 12 years. Karlyn’s younger sister, Elyssa, tells a different story -- she says that Karlyn is evil and manipulative and is responsible for brainwashing the rest of their family and tearing them apart. Jodi says she’s the real victim and that her children abandoned her.
