Khloe Sees Why Lamar Keeps His Father Distant on 'Khloe and Lamar' (VIDEO)
It's difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes. On the series premiere of 'Khloe & Lamar' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!), Khloe finally got an opportunity to peer a little deeper into the strained relationship between her husband Lamar and his father Joe.Because Khloe comes from the tight-knit Kardashian family, where everyone is involved and supportive, it's almost impossible for her to fathom why someone would want to be distant from a member of his or her immediate family.
Perhaps because of the loss of her own biological father, Lamar's distance from his father must be even more difficult to understand.
But in a single phone call, in which Lamar's father used a million different angles to try to get some money out of him, Khloe saw that Joe was nowhere near the dad her father and Bruce have been to her and her siblings.
Sometimes family relationships are just broken and there isn't much you can do about it. Maybe Lamar will reach out to his father to try and help him through whatever he's dealing with, but Joe needs to be ready to be something different than he's being right now to Lamar. He needs to try to be a man and a father.
Right now, he's sad and pathetic, and you can see how it's hurting Lamar every time they talk. It hurts him that this is who his father has become, and it hurts him to tell his father no. But he knows it's what he has to do, or the situation will only get worse.
