Rory Feek's conflict with his eldest daughters doesn't seem any closer to resolution. According to the country singer, neither Heidi, 37, nor Hopie, 35, will agree to meet him without a professional's permission, amid a legal battle over custody of 10-year-old Indiana, leading to an “impasse. » in their procedures.
While we were discussing the matter in a recent blog post captioned 'Canceled', Rory wrote that 'the only thing [he’s] guilty is being part of a family that is not perfect.'
“I drove down to Florence, AL where they live about a week and a half ago and knocked on Heidi's door with two bouquets of peace lilies and hopefully we could sit down and talk,” she continued. “But even though their cars were in the driveway and they were inside, no one answered… On the way back, I got a text from Heidi saying, 'We're only willing to talk to you with a licensed therapist or attorney or both. .''
“That's where the impasse comes in,” Rory continued. “They think it's the job of someone with a PhD, law degree or master's degree to fix what's broken in our family. And I think it's our job.”
The post comes after his adult daughters Heidi and Hopi – who Rory welcomed into his first marriage to Tamara Gilmer – wrote on Instagram that they would “take legal action as we no longer believe Indiana is safe” in their father's care their. It comes just weeks after the singer married Indiana teacher Rebecca in July.
In their open letter, Heidi and Hopi accused Rory of leaving Indiana – which the musician shares with his late wife and Joey + Rory bandmate Joey Feek – in the care of unknown family members, while he and his new wife were leaving for their honeymoon. Heidi also reportedly raised concerns that her little sister was being cared for by a group identified as the Montana chapter of Homestead Heritage, which calls itself an “agricultural and artisan-based intentional Christian community” and has been hit with sexual abuse allegations in the past . children in 2012, which the group denied.
In a previous blog post, Rory denied the group was unsafe or a “cult” but confirmed Heidi and Hopi's claims that he had cut off contact between them and Indiana. His reasoning came from his older daughters having “completely different” beliefs from his conservative values and he claimed he was exposing his youngest daughter to films and music he disapproved of.
About Rory's claim that he was missing during his visit to their home, Heidi said People he wasn't home when he arrived, but Hoppy, who was at the residence, began having a panic attack when he showed up unannounced. She added that Hopie called her and their lawyer for about four minutes, but by the time the call ended, Rory had already left.
“Regardless of the intent, it felt scary,” he told the publication. “We've set really clear boundaries. We have such a hard time communicating with him and feeling that we really don't feel like it's possible without a third person.”
