We were close, he was married to Chris and took the girls to school, he had not a drop of today's Caitlin in him. When he changed gender, I was shocked. I did not condemn, but simply did not understand how it happened,

Alec, 60, said.


Kim also admitted that she did not know about his addictions for a long time, but accidentally discovered that Bruce was wearing dresses:

I found out about this when I was 25 years old. I went into the garage at my mom's house and saw Bruce - he was dressed as a woman.


At that moment, Kim had a real tantrum. Her first impulse was to run away from home aimlessly:

I ran out of there, called Courtney's sister and said, "I need to spend the weekend with you." I was shaking, I was crying hysterically. Courtney said to me, "Did you catch Bruce cheating?" And I thought, I don't know what to call what I just saw.


After that, Bruce decided to have a heart to heart talk with Kim.

He called me and said, "One day I'll sit down and explain all this to you, but until then, please don't tell anyone and don't tell your mother, she will kill me."

The girl said that she did not want to ruin her mother's marriage and leave her little sisters Kendall and Kylie without a father, so she decided to keep it a secret:
