Is there anything harder when you’re a parent than not being able to lean on your own parent? Kristin Cavallari is opening up about that exact struggle, and having to cut off her dad after he “crossed the line” with her kids.
In a clip from her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast that’s now making the rounds on TikTok, Cavallari reveals that she cut her dad out of her life several years ago.
“I cut my dad out of my life about two years ago, which has honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done,” she says. “I actually didn’t even realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult.”
She goes on to say that she knew when she was young that she didn’t want to be around him because he often made her feel like she “wasn’t good enough.”
But then the flip side of that is, sometimes he would put me on this pedestal and talk me up. Now as an adult looking back, it was when it benefitted you and made you look good,” she adds.
Things changed when she had her own kids, though. Cavallari is a mom to three kids, 8-year-old Saylor, 9-year-old Jaxon, and 11-year-old Camden, whom she shares with her ex, Jay Cutler.
“How I got my dad out of my life was something happened with my kids and it crossed the line. And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m f*cking done.’ And he blamed me for it, like threw everything back in my face,” she explains. “I was always like, I can take it. You know. I can take the abuse. I have my whole life. But it’s like when you start now messing with my kids, I’m not doing it.”
This mama will do anything to protect her kids — as she should.
