Lamar Odom and his increasingly famous baby’s mama, Liza Morales, have been all over the headlines as of late, thanks to Morales’ feud with Odom’s wife, reality star Khloe Kardashian. But the former couple has a deadly real problem on their hands, now, as it’s been revealed that their daughter, Destiny Odom, is suffering from depression and may have been cutting herself.
On Jan. 27, Destiny tweeted about her feelings of sadness and isolation to her followers.
“I feel as If I am drowning in my own emotions, and I have no home to save me,” Destiny wrote. And after a follower asked when was the last time that she cut herself, and how often, Destiny sadly wrote: “Tonight and I don’t count.”
Morales recently told RadarOnline that Destiny is in now in therapy, though, she denies that her daughter cut herself.
“This matter has been addressed with our daughter. We have a professional on board to evaluate the situation; Destiny is not hurting herself but we are not taking this lightly,” Liza told Radar.
“With the added pressures of Hollywood and the instant attention of social media, it’s not always easy for a teenager to express their emotions in the best way. This is a private family matter, and we would appreciate respect and privacy during this time,” she added.
According to the site, the young girl has been sinking into depression for months over not being able to see much of her mother, who’s taping her new reality show, “Starter Wives Confidential,” or Kardashian and her father.
“Her dad wasn’t around much when she was growing up,” a source told Star. “But Khloe has made a real effort to develop a strong relationship with Destiny.”
And, according to the site, Kardashian has vowed to help Destiny deal with her depression in any way she can.
Fortunately, Destiny isn’t alone; she has her family’s support and a plethora of stars that have been in her shoes and survived. Check out some other stars who have dealt with depression below.
