"I don't think he's a bad person; I think we all make mistakes, we are humans. But it's only going to hurt me if I'm holding onto this anger and playing this victim role."
"I don't believe in being a victim. I believe in 'Okay this happened to me, let's figure it out, let's push through it,' and maybe if I am open and honest about it, it can help other people feel like, 'It's okay, we are all human, we are all going to get through things," Kardashian says about her how she is healing after their breakup.

"I want to show my daughter that it's okay and it's a beautiful thing to also forgive her dad, he's a great person. Maybe him and I weren't compatible in that way, but that is okay."
Putting her situation into perspective and realizing the effects that her actions will have on her daughter, she continues:
"Nobody is going to die here, and I always want True to be surrounded by love. I know babies feel energy, we feel energy, and I just feel just bliss as much as I can."

"He never hurt True. Him and I have our own relationship and Tristan and True have theirs. I will never come between that, I don't believe in that," she adds.
