Khloe Kardashian pens heartbreaking note about 'letting go' after ex Lamar Odom is spotted get drunk again

Khloe Kardashian has opened up about "letting go" after her estranged husband Lamar Odom was spotted drinking. The reality star has been supporting her ex since he was left fighting for his life after overdosing at a brothel six months ago. 


But Khloe appeared to suggest things were over for good - weeks after Lamar was pictured in a bar - as she shared a heartbreaking note. 




Khloe posted a quote on Instagram which read: 

"It doesn't matter how loyal you are to someone. You can't change someone's heart and bad habits unless they want to themselves." anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself. 

"Letting go with love takes great strength. We have to learn to stop taking on people's problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back.

"Sadly, you can only express your opinion on a situation. You can't want their life more than they do. This is in fact their life to figure out on their own and in their own time."

Khloe separated from Lamar in 2013 but halted divorce proceedings in October last year following Lamar's near-fatal collapse so she could continue making medical decisions on his behalf.

"I do believe in timing. I do believe timing is everything. You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return.(sic)"

And Khloe, 31, admitted she has realised she "can't love someone into loving" her, and is better off without the person she wants "most".

Lamar was spotted drinking at Johnny O’Brien’s pub in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles on the morning of Easter Sunday, and was drinking glasses of Remy Martin brandy, TMZ reported at the time.

Just a few hours later he attended an Easter church service with Khloe and her family as they celebrated the holiday. 

She continued: "People say time heals all wounds... I say time heals wounds but scars are left to remind you what you have been through and what you survived.

"Stop shattering your own heart by trying to make a relationship (friend, family, partner) work that clearly isn't meant to work.

"We have to stop trying to repaint people's colors. We have to learn to believe the love we AREN'T given. You can't love someone into loving you. (God I wish it were that easy).

"You can't force someone to be loyal, kind, understanding. You can't force someone to be the person you need them to be. Even if it's for their own good!! Sometimes the person you want most is the person you're best without.

"You have to understand... some things ARE supposed to happen in your life, but they just are NOT meant to be. Damn... It took me so many years to understand that.

"Don't lose yourself by trying to fix what's meant to stay broken.(sic)"

She concluded: "Be careful when trying to fix a broken person. For you may cut yourself on their shattered pieces."
