Mary Cosby continues to speak openly and honestly about her son’s sobriety journey. Robert Cosby Jr. spent 30 days in a treatment facility in August 2024. Since then, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star has Robert Jr. at home so she can help him navigate the ongoing road.
Mary admitted that it has been rough to see her only child struggle. Some of their conversations have been filmed for RHOSLC in an effort to provide awareness to other families. Despite the platform, at the heart of it all is a mother doing everything she can to help her child. As per a recent episode, it’s nice to hear that mother-and-son are communicating well and leaning on each other. But it hasn’t been easy.
Mary Cosby discusses the stronger bond she has with Robert Jr.
While touring her renovated Faith Temple Pentecostal Church on Season 6, Episode 4, Mary updated her cousin on Robert’s progress. And she thinks that returning to her house of worship will be good for the 22-year-old.
“It will be cool to come back. And Robert is excited,” Mary answered.
The Bravolebrity’s cousin did the renovations on the church that Mary’s grandmother founded. It’s a special place for the family, as Robert Jr. took his first steps in the building.
“He’s good. I mean, we’re probably 100 times closer now,” the RHOSLC star shared. “Which is even more hurtful, because now I know when he’s fallen off, especially now that I’m fully aware of what’s going on.”
Mary praised her “sharp” and “smart” son. She has faith in him. So despite the struggles, the RHOSLC star anticipates a better future. The renovations took close to two years. Not being able to worship in that space took a toll on the family.
Mary explained, “He’s got a good heart. I’m excited for us to come back to church. Church is always good to help. Bring him to church and have some prayer. That’ll help anyone.”
