Khloe Kardashian is ramping up her efforts to be a good stepmother as she vows to help Lamar Odom’s 14-year-old daughter through an emotional and troubled time, Star magazine is exclusively reporting.
The 28-year-old reality TV star was shocked after learning that Destiny Odom, the L.A. Clippers star's daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Liza Morales, had openly expressed feelings of depression and low self- esteem, while also admitting to cutting herself.
“I feel as If I am drowning in my own emotions, and I have no home to save me,” the troubled teen heartbreakingly tweeted on January 27.
A follower asked when the last time was that she cut, and how often, prompting Destiny to admit: “Tonight and I don’t count.”
According to Star, the young girl has felt ever increasingly isolated in recent months and hasn’t been able to see her mother – who is currently starring in the reality show Starter Wives Confidential – as much as usual.

“Her dad wasn’t around much when she was growing up,” a source tells Star.
“But Khloe has made a real effort to develop a strong relationship with Destiny.”
