Kim Kardashian is detailing what her seven-year marriage to Kanye West was like.
On the season 7 premiere of The Kardashians, she said she recently felt “pretty tested” by West.
“I haven’t had psoriasis since I got divorced, and it just started coming back,” Kardashian said. “And I mean, I have psoriasis again. “I felt more stressed, probably just because I had to super, super protect what I had to protect.”
According to the Mayo Clinc, “Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches.” It’s most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
Kardashian said that she was worried about her children during her marriage to West.
“My poor kids,” she said. “Everyone around can handle it, but like, protect my babies.”
They’re gonna know things,” Kardashian explained. “And they’re gonna grow up, they’re gonna see. So my job as a mom is to just make sure that — at a time when that behavior is happening — is just to make sure that they’re protected.”
Kardashian also said she “always felt like I had a bit of Stockholm syndrome” with West.
“I always felt really bad and always protected and always wanted to help [him],” she said. “I should’ve stuck it out” or “I could’ve helped,” but “this was the first time I didn’t feel that responsibility personally.”
“It is so f—— sad,” said Kardashian.
She went on to share that she could never not deal with West anymore.
“That’s not my reality. This person — we have 4 kids together. It’s very confusing, because it’ll be all this talk on the internet of like, ‘I’m keeping the kids.’ He’s never once called and asked [to see them],” she said.
“But then I’ll wake up, and it’s on Twitter that I’m keeping the kids,” Kardashian continued. “When it’s not true and not rational, I just have to … I can’t engage all the time. It’s a divorce — not a kidnapping.”
