Totally agree. It really shows a sister's love to support someone for THAT long. There's an article about what their mom, Big Kathy, was really like... can't remember word for word, but Kim was pushed by their mother to do sexual favors and put herself out there for the rich men in Hollywood. It's not a surprise that Kim turned to drugs and alcohol. And Kyle being the youngest, she ends up happily married and SAHM, probably without enduring any of the stuff Kim had to. Mauricio is a good man... I don't know if I could pay for my in-laws to live in a big house for many years and put up with their theatrics.. I think Kyle and Mauricio did it mainly because they didn't want to traumatize Kim's kids.
