In an open and honest post this weekend, Kathryn shared that she’s been going through a really emotional time lately without her kids.

Wanting to try to comfort others who are possibly going through the same situation, she shared some of her experiences and some of her tips.

The  personality began on Instagram: “There will be a lot more difficult times than good times when you are without your kids. 

“It’s normal. It’s normal if it’s only difficult at first. It’s going to be that way, it’s going to be hard…you gotta accept that’s just the way it is and pivot. Just like everything else in parenting.”

She continued: “I like to visualize a tunnel and the light at the end being my children. 

“Focus on the light even if it seems dim at first. Kids are resilient and the bigger picture is not as bad as the smaller picture feels.”

'LITTLE PROJECTS'

Of what else has helped to keep her emotionally and physically busy, Kathryn added: “I started doing little projects like setting up Kensie’s dolls for her and telling them they had been playing while she was gone, moving the Pokemon action figures and saying they were battling while they were gone! 

“I also get through with a lot of DIY projects or prep for them and doing their Lego sets LOL.”

Last week, Kathryn shared a series of snaps of her with her children, Kensington and Saint at the aquarium.

"It is exhausting to constantly defend yourself from someone who is trying to change reality - it can even make you question what you know happened, or what is true," the post began. It can be exhausting to live two lives: one for your children and for the world (everything is fine), and the other where you are beaten down by the family court system. We see you and we stand with you. You are not alone," the message finished.

The Sun broke Thomas’ request to change their custody agreement from joint to primary custody, as he cited Kathryn’s alleged drug abuse and neglect. 

In South Carolina court records obtained by The Sun, Thomas claimed a mutual friend told him about a recent trip he took to  with Kathryn, , Kensie, Saint and others. 

Thomas claimed the friend said: “He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous.”

Kathryn alleged in her court response: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”

She also agreed to take a drug test as long as Thomas “pays for it and takes one as well.”

Kathryn previously lost full custody of the children in 2016 and entered rehab after she tested positive for marijuana. 

In 2018, Kathryn filed for primary custody of the kids after Thomas was arrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree.
