Kaitlyn Bristowe speaks out after Jason Tartick split
After revealing that she and Jason Tartick had officially ended their engagement, Kaitlyn told fans she was taking a social media break. She hadn’t said much about their split other than just asking for prayers for them both.
Now, on Tuesday’s episode of her Off The Vine podcast, Kaitlyn is opening up a little more about their breakup and how it is affecting her. Kaitlyn shared that it is really affecting her mental health.
She talked about how she and Jason have all these followers and have let them into their lives. So now going through a breakup is hard. She uses her phone to entertain everyone and she admits to struggling with sharing their news with fans after they split. Kaitlyn said,
“I’ve gotten to this point where something like going through a breakup — it’s a loss, it’s grief, you’re going through, like, the thought of losing somebody, all of these big emotions — and now these people are on the other end of this phone expecting you to share it with them while you’re going through it. Then they think, ‘You’re hiding something from us, why wouldn’t you be honest? I thought you were an open book, I thought you were this and just tell us already that you guys are broken up.’ And I’m holding so much responsibility because I see them as this community that I’ve built for myself.”
She thinks everyone blames her
Kaitlyn also shared that at times she thinks everyone blames her. She said sometimes she thinks oh it’s fine everyone has their own issues and traumas. However, there are other times when her brain thinks that everyone is judging her and blaming it all on her. She said, “‘Oh, my gosh, they hate me. I’m gonna lose all the support, and people are judging me. And they think it’s just all me and it’s my fault.’ And my brain is, like, ‘Here’s the logic of everything.” She concluded by saying that on top of all that there is emotion and she is finding herself in the middle of it all.
Kaitlyn also said that she is an empath and so she feels everything put out there. She has to be careful to allow herself to be subject to how everyone is feeling about her split from Jason.
Currently, she’s taking a social media break to try and heal and adjust to life without Jason. As for their two dogs, they are choosing to co-parent them for the time being.
