While some people have been keeping up with the Kardashians for years thanks to the family‘s long-running reality show, Brandon Jenner did the opposite. “After Dad [Caitlyn Jenner] met and married Kris [Jenner], family became a business for him, and I stayed away for most of my teenage years,” Brandon revealed in the To Me, He Was Just Dad collection (via Page Six). “I didn’t want to be a part of their dynamic.”
Brandon also feels like the family’s particular vibe put his father in a bad place. “I know now, though, that Dad was pretty unhappy in that house and felt like he wasn’t treated well,” he wrote.
Caitlyn’s son also wishes that she had begun her transition earlier, saying that it might have helped, “not only because I think she would have been happier but because I think we could have built a stronger relationship earlier.”
Thankfully for the pair, they still have a chance to make up for the lost time and now speak to each other almost every day, which gives Brandon a chance to keep up with his dad even if he’s still uninterested in keeping up with, well, you know.
