Khloé Kardashian looked back at the moment she realized she couldn't change Lamar Odom amid his drug addiction.

The Kardashians star reflected on a pivotal moment when she realized she could not change her ex-husband Odon during a conversation with Mel Robbins on the third episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonderland.

"I remember, I was married and my ex-husband had a drug addiction. And I knew that his addiction always heightened — he was in the NBA — and his addiction always heightened when he was in the off-season, cause idle time is the devil's playground," Khole began.

The Good American Founder went on to say, "And so I remember he was asked to go to Team USA if I remember correctly, and I was begging, 'Please, please go to Team USA,' and I was pushing, and I remember he just looked at me and said, 'You can't want it more than I do.' "

"it was so profound." the mother of two noted, "It's so silly, 'cause I know that. But I wanted it so badly, because I wanted to help him and to get him to feel the motivation and feel good, but he just wasn't in that place."

It took me a long time to get to, then I had to file for divorce," the reality star said, adding, "That was a very pivotal moment in my life because I remember that statement being like...'Yeah, you're right. I can't want your life more than you.' "

The couple officially got divorced in 2016.
