Reality star Kyle Richards provides an emotional update on her relationship with her sister Kim, as the family grapples with ongoing struggles involving Kim's substance abuse.

AceShowbiz - Kyle Richards shared insights into her current relationship with her troubled sister, Kim Richards, following the latter's relapse. Kyle admitted the two siblings did not meet often, but insisted Kim was "happy."

"The three of you guys," Dorit said during the show's trip to Saint Lucia. "I feel like I haven't seen the three of you guys together," referencing Kyle, Kim, and their older sister Kathy Hilton.

"I know, it is nice when we're all together. We're just not that close, I don't see her that much, unfortunately," Kyle replied.

Kim Richards made headlines last year after she reportedly fell back into her old habits with alcohol and substance abuse, leading to her being placed on a psychiatric hold.

"It particularly weighs heavily on Kyle, who has always been the worrier of the family. She does her best to take care of Kim - and essentially bankrolls Kim's life, with Kathy - but never knows where the line goes between helping and enabling," a source said.

Kim's relapse caused frictions with her sisters. In one incident, law enforcement was called to Kyle's home, where Kim had been staying after she was released from the psychiatric hold. No crime was committed but Kyle reportedly kicked Kim out of her house. Another similar incident happened at the Hilton hotel.

The insider revealed that Kim was in "a really bad place," and the family preferred to keep the details private, claiming it was a repetitive cycle involving Kim's chaotic behavior.

"It's the same cycle: chaos until there's some incident that gets Kim back on track, then brief steadiness as they repair their relationship, then the drinking starts again, Kim makes excuses, Kyle pleads she gets help, etc. etc.," they elaborated.

The complexity of familial relationships, especially in the context of addiction, can be overwhelming, as Kyle's experience poignantly illustrates. Fans of "RHOBH" can catch up with the latest developments every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
