Kelly Clarkson decided to divorce her husband Brandon Blackstock when she found the whole family was suffering because she was not happily married. In her talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show tells the singer that both she and Blackstock deserve better.
Clarkson sat down with author Glennon Doyle, who has written a book about her own divorce, before her show. Doyle believes that women are taught to do everything they can to keep a family from falling apart. However, the author realized that if she ended the marriage, she would be a better mother.
The singer explains that she had a similar moment. “I had to read that in your book to take these steps in my own life,” said Clarkson. “I realized that neither of us are happy and that we both deserve better.”
According to Clarkson, known for hits like Because of You in Since U Been Goneworry about the children is the hardest part of a divorce. “It is terrible and there are many bad sides to it, but for me it is especially difficult because of the children.”
Earlier this week, it was announced that the 38-year-old singer will continue to care for six-year-old River and four-year-old Remy most of the time. They will be with their father every other weekend.
Clarkson and Blackstock were married in 2013. He also has two children from a previous relationship.
