'Being a single mother is so difficult' - Kim Kardashian cries out

American socialite and reality television star Kim Kardashian has admitted that she is having trouble juggling life as a single mother after her split from Kanye West.

Kim praised Tristan Thompson, Khloe's sister's ex-boyfriend, for "stepping up" to help her.

Kim revealed the information in this week's episode of The Kardashians. Despite Khloe and Tristan's separation, Kim stood up for Tristan.

Thompson has come under fire for routinely cheating on Khloe Kardashian when they were dating. Tatum, one, and True, five, are the ex-couples' children, and they are currently co-parenting them.

Defending Tristan, Kim said, “Oh, I know guys are gonna hate me for this and you’re gonna hate us and you’re gonna think Khloe is whatever… It’s so crazy because he’s such a good friend and he’s such a good like Dad… but he just couldn’t get it together in that area, of like being a faithful boyfriend,’ Kim said.

“So it’s like you wanna obviously like hate him for that. Yeah, of course, his actions and who he was, like so fucked up.

“We’ve had our talks about it and we’ve had our fights about it and we’ve had our arguments about it,’ she added, before going on to defend him.

“But he’s also shown so many decent things and just has been a really good person and friend. When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up.”

She said: “He’s shown so many decent things and just has been a really good person and friend. When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up.”

She added that Tristan, “started showing up to (her children’s) games. He picked Saint up, takes them to dinner, and will always come to my defense, especially if it’s stuff with like me and my ex.”
