\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe stars of Vanderpump Rules are no strangers to controversy.

\u201cHis addiction unfortunately has done irreparable damage to my son and I,\u201d Cartwright, 36, who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with Taylor, began via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019ve spent years trying to help him. I wish more than anyone I could say how proud I am of him today but I\u2019d be lying. His actions will speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cartwright addressed criticism<\/a> about her past relationship with Taylor.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd to those asking why I stayed if I knew he had a problem all these years. You can\u2019t help who you fell in love with. I\u2019ve done absolutely everything in my power to get him the help he desperately needed. Unfortunately, I was naive and believed his empty promises and his pleads to change for years,\u201d she continued. \u201cOnce you have a child with someone, it\u2019s not easy to leave. It took everything in my power to gather the strength to walk away. For those that have been through similar, you get it. For those that question me \u2026 that\u2019s OK. I\u2019m in a much better place now.\u201d<\/p>\n
