Kordell Stewart A 'Father Figure' To Porsha [VIDEO] Losing Dad At Age 17 RHOA Star Realizes Her Unhealthy Relationship Visiting Therapist In Upcoming Episode

 Kordell Stewart a father figure to Porsha? Porsha walks viewers through her painful split with Kordell on the upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Porsha discovers how unhealthy her marriage really was.

Porsha takes her heartache to therapy after not being able to open up about her tumultuous and shocking split from Kordell. As the other Atlanta Housewives and viewers believed, Porsha looked up to Kordell more as a father figure than a lover. Porsha was too dependent on Kordell and being on Housewives unlocked Kordell's tight grip on his wife.

The therapist helped Porsha Stewart see the real problems in her marriage asking difficult questions to the Atlanta Housewife. Porsha, who lost her own father at 17,  learns that her relationship with Kordell was extremely controlling and unhealthy for Porsha depicting her husband as the father had had went away at such a youg age.

 "Was your name on the deed? Was your name on the bank accounts?" the therapist asks.

The reality star shook her head, realizing her lack of control in the marriage.

"You could have been a hired help to take care of it," the therapist tells her. "When you have no funds and resources, you become quite dependent on someone."

Porsha responds, "That's what I thought being a wife was."

"Did you really have a husband or did you have a father?" the doctor bluntly asks.

"I think it was more like a father, but that's what attracted me to him because my father died when I was 17 years old. My father always had a plan for his family. I trusted him to provide for me, and I thought that Kordell had that characteristic."

The therapist lets Porsha know "The reality is, it's not the same relationship. You don't sleep with your father."

Porsha broke down asking through tears, "Then why did he marry me?"

The therapist asks the most important question of all to the RHOA star:

 "Why did you marry him?"

Last season on the Real Housewives of Atlanta  it was obvious that their relationship was strained by Porsha's involvement on the show. Kordell wanted to control Porsha and the older womens' influences was unlocking Kordell's grip over his wife.

On the Vegas episode Porsha tells the ladies," I'm lucky he let me go on this trip."

The other Housewives were stunned and planted the seed to Porsha that her marriage was unhealthy.

As Porsha spend more time out of the house and less time catering to him and his child, Kordell must have also realized that his grip on her had come undone and he gave up on the marriage.

On a radio interview, Kordell Stewart claims Porsha was an absent step-mom and was out partying all night, trying to be like "all of the Nene Leakes.:

"She was never around to say good-night to his 10 year old stepson whom Porsha cherished.

He continued, "And so, when my wife tells me she does what she wanna do because she's out doing what she's doing for whatever reason she's choosing to do it, when I allowed Bravo in the house. I went against the grain of what I represent. I'm private. I had to compromise everything about my manhood from the standpoint of ,'Ok, I'm going to let my wife do what she do....and that's it.'"

Do you think Porsha's relationship was strained by the other Atlanta Housewives?
