A Tearful Kenya Moore Accepts Lack of Relationship with Mother

February 20, 2016

*if you know anything about Kenya Moore, you know she and her mother don’t anything you could call even remotely call a relationship.

Whatever their issues are she’s found closure and moved on and credits her father for helping her deal with it

“It was just time for closure either way and I just had to do it,” Moore told Essence. “I felt relieved in a way because I felt like it was over. And I felt like I didn’t have to torture myself internally anymore and I felt stronger because I had my dad on my side and he was just like my biggest fan even when we were apart.”

The degree of their dysfunctional relationship was on display during an episode of her reality show, “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” earlier this year. Viewers saw where she went as far as to ring her mother’s doorbell hoping to get answers.

Needless to say, it was a sad sight to see. While her attempt for connection was once again rejected, it’s a decision the reality star said she wouldn’t change. In fact, she’s thankful that the show has given her the platform to help other people cope with their own familial issues.

“I heard from so many people that have similar situations, not the same but abandonment or non-acknowledgement or abused mentally from a parent and I just feel like I helped a lot of people be braver and stronger for it.”
