“Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all,” Kardashian also wrote. “From the beginning I havewanted nothing but a healthy relationshipbecause it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.”
“I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably,” she concluded.

“For so long, I did what made other people happy,“the SKIMS mogulsaid. “And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good.”
“And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy,” Kardashian continued. “I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”
“My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’mgoing to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy,” she said.
