Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby had hoped her son Robert Cosby Jr. would be at her church’s reopening. She had been renovating it for the past few years, and it was finally ready for her congregation to return. However, on Mary’s big day, Robert Jr. had relapsed and had to stay home. So, how did Mary feel about what happened with her son?
Mary Cosby is “a lot disappointed” amid Robert Jr.’s continued struggles
During Season 6, Episode 10, Mary had taken Robert Jr. to their church for one last look at the renovations before they reopened. Then she sat him down and asked where he was at spiritually.
Robert Jr. said, “When I went to Malibu, they had these AA things, these meetings about, like, having a higher power. I already knew who my higher power was. A lot of people were struggling with that. They’re powerless. You need a higher power. You need God.”
But the update took a downturn when Robert Jr. shared what had happened to his friends. He said, “All the people that I was, like, cool with, they all relapsed.” Which ended up being what happened to him later in the episode.
When Mary arrived at her church’s reopening without Robert Jr., she was crushed. She explained why to her cousin, Big Joe. She said, “Robert Jr. got in the car, and I looked at him. He was high.” Mary added they were taking things one day at a time. Some days were good, and some were bad. And that day wasn’t so good.
Mary shared, “I’m a lot disappointed that Robert’s not here. I’m crushed. But I know today is not his time. Today is not for him. So, I just have to keep trusting and believing that his time will come. And when it does, he’ll be ready.”
Unfortunately, Robert Jr. is still struggling with his sobriety journey, as he was recently arrested yet again. And no doubt Mary will continue to take things one day at a time.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and can be streamed on Peacock the next day.
