When Rory and Rebecca went on their honeymoon, they left Indiana in the care of the family that Heidi expressed concerns over, though Rory defended them in his blog post, calling the couple the “kindest, most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life.”
He went on to note that Indiana, who served as a flower girl in her sister Hopie’s 2018 wedding, “absolutely” misses her sisters after he banned her from visiting them.
“Every couple of months, I used to let Indiana spend a night or two with her big sisters in Alabama, but about a year ago, I stopped allowing that,” Rory wrote. “Mostly because they refused to respect my wishes when she was there.”
Acknowledging his differing viewpoints with his older children, the self-proclaimed conservative Christian said that Heidi and Hopie didn’t respect his wishes when it came to boundaries he set for Indiana. Then things got even more heated amongst the family.
“When Child Protective Services called me out of nowhere, saying that it had been reported that Indiana was being neglected, along with other accusations, Heidi and Hopie forfeited their right to speak to their little sister,” Rory wrote. “The situation had escalated to them taping the conversations they were having with her and leading her on so they could find ammunition to use against me, and it had become clear that Heidi wasn’t looking out for Indiana’s best interest—she was looking for revenge and a way to hurt me, no matter the cost, and I was no longer going to let Indiana be a part of it.”
