Kim Kardashian reflects on the "sad part of motherhood" and highlights Kanye West's absence as a father

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West officially finalized their divorce in 2022, after nearly seven years of marriage. Kim recently shared an emotional reflection on what she calls the "sad part of motherhood."

Through her Instagram Stories, the SKIMS founder posted a quote that deeply resonated with her followers: "The sad part about motherhood is that you're raising the one person you can't live without... to be able to live without you."

This quote, which highlights the complexity and sacrifice inherent in motherhood, comes at a particularly sensitive time for Kim, who is facing personal challenges related to her role as a mother.

Kanye is not present in his children's lives

Kardashian's post comes just after a report highlighted that her ex-husband, Kanye West, doesn't spend much time with their children.

According to a source close to the family, Kanye is not as involved in the day-to-day lives of their kids, leaving Kim with the primary responsibility of raising them.

Kim and Kanye share four children: North (11), Saint (8), Chicago (6), and Psalm (5), and while their divorce was finalized in 2022, their family dynamic remains complicated.

In her post, Kim added a teary-eyed emoji, further emphasizing the emotion behind her words. The quote also reflects what many parents feel when raising their children: that, although they grow up and become independent, the thought of them one day living without your presence is a hard reality to accept.

This feeling seems to be even more intense for Kim, who has been dealing with the fact that Kanye is not consistently present to help her raise their children.

Kim is practically a single mother

A source close to Kim commented that the reality TV star is "pretty much a single mom," as, despite having help at home, such as nannies and support staff, the responsibility of managing everything falls largely on her.

Kim's life revolves around her children, and while she successfully runs her business and career, balancing all the responsibilities can be overwhelming.

Despite the challenges, Kim has been very open on social media about the difficulties she faces as a mother. The situation with Kanye, who has been focused on other projects and his mental health, has only complicated their family dynamic further.

Kim's message about motherhood not only reflects her vulnerability as a mother but also the harsh reality of raising four children under the public eye while navigating the complexities of her personal and professional life.
