"I've reached out to Garrison and Gabriel," Kody claimed.
"I reached out to them just before Christmas and I reached out to them after. No, they're blocking me. They're not interested in talking to me."
'DOESN'T CARE'
When it comes to the boys, Garrison put a lot of blame on his dad.
"Since I last talked to Dad, I bought a house, I've gotten into school and I got the car that I wanted - that he told me I should never get," Garrison once told Christine.
Christine has remained close to Janelle's family since they both split from Kody.
