Khloe Kardashian 'Heartbreaking And Torture To My Soul' On Lamar Odom Divorce [VIDEO REPORT] Had To Give Up After Substance Abuse---Can The KUWK Couple FInd Their Way Back To Each Other?

Khloe Kardashian called her divorce 'heartbreaking and torture to my sout' via Twitter. And Khloe is not alone! My soul is tortured too watching the fan favorite Kardashian woman get her get her heart broken after fighting the good fight to keep her marriage alive. Khloe filed for divorce this week and the news is nothing short of heartbreaking to everyone that watched Khloe and Lamar and their 4 year love story.

Khloe and Lamar were married in 2009, and their divorce is the hardest of the Kardashian splits for the public to take. Kim Kardashian and her divorce was a joke after a 72 day marriage. And Kris Jenner's split was sad, but not surprising or heartbreaking after years of rumors of a rocky marriage to cushion the blow. But things were different for Khloe, who seemed so in love with her husband as we watched for years on KUWTK and Khloe and Lamar's spin-off show.

Khloe's split goes to show that even the tightest couples can be broken apart from substance abuse. Khloe tried to be the dutiful wife as long as she could, until a divorce was the only way to keep her sanity. Though she now says that this is heartbreaking and a 'torture' it is the best decision for Khloe. She can not be a crutch to an addict and needs to break away and see if he can recover. 

Did Khloe make the right decision? Should she have filed for divorce, or continued to support her husband further? 

Khloe and Lamar seemed so in love, and their friendship looked so strong that nothing could possibly get in the way of making their marriage work. But though the public doesn't know the whole truth, Lamar, 34, was obviously controlled by drugs that lead to so many secrets in their relationship. Khloe just couldn't manage the web of lies.

Lamar's extreme drug abuse proved to be too much for Khloe, 29. Though she might have fame and fortune, her love story is actually more relevant to the average American than one might think. Substance abuse breaks up most marriages because of the secrets, lies, and hidden behavior. Her divorce, though not shocking, was a long time coming.

2013 was not the first time Lamar has faced drug accusations. He was suspended in 2001 when he violated NBA drug policy twice in eight months.

He admitted at the time to smoking marijuana, telling reporters: "I hope everyone doesn't pass judgment on my mistake. I've made a couple and I may make a couple again, but hopefully they won't be as big as this one ... This will never happen again."

His former coach, Jerry Degregorio, said: "Lamar, in crisis situations, he has a tendency to want to get away and hide. He just wants to go away and hide and be by himself."

Khloe had been extremely supportive and protective of Lamar for a long time. It wasn't easy to detect his problems on Keeping up With The Kardashians, but if you look back on the episodes you can see that Lamar was falling back into his old habits.

Lamar was not showing up to any family events that he had committed to, and Khloe was becoming increasingly depressed. She became more remote on the show as well and made a lot of excuses for her husband's absences.

This became all too much for Khloe. As the Kardashian with the most personality and spunk, she most likely realized that Lamar was draining the life out of her.

The divorce is not a happy event. The couple that exchanged vows after knowing each other for only a few months, seemed well connected and communicative.

But perhaps love just isn't enough.

Maybe the reality couple can find their way back to each other. But Khloe can no longer be a crutch for the troubled NBA player.

I just hope that after he gets help, and can remain clean, he can find his way back to the Kardashian tribe.

And hopefully, in that time Khloe will not have moved on. She needs to take some time out of the playing field as well, with or without the hopes of Lamar's sobriety.

What do think of Khloe and Lamar's divorce? Is the Kardashian family cursed?
