“Not having my dad at the wedding, it was a bummer,” he finally admitted. “Honestly, it really did hurt and I would have loved to have her there, but she had better things to do. Apparently.”

“I was so happily married to Bruce Jenner. I had this great normal life here in this little house in Malibu, until that fateful day… where Bruce said to me ‘I want to transition,’” she recalled, using Caitlyn’s dead name. “My life just did a 180. In my mind, I had lost my normal, my family, my wonderful husband that I thought would be forever. I had just lost my marriage and the father of my kids. I was devastated.” Caitlyn didn’t come out publicly until 2015.

She continued, “But that was just a momentary reaction. My greater sympathy had to go out to Caitlyn.” Still, Linda said she doesn’t excuse all of her ex’s behavior.

“I don't give Bruce, or Caitlyn, a pass for not being a father,” she said. “I don't think there's any excuse ever for not being there for your children.”
