Lamar Odom's estranged father Joe boldly proclaimed that his son would be "better off" without the Kardashian family, and though Lamar has been laying low, he took to his twitter today to slam his father for his remarks.

The NBA star wrote:
    "Won't continue 2 speak on this but I have got 2 let this out real quick. I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of sh*t. He wasn't there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me. For the first time since they left, came a blessing of a FAMILY that I married into. FAMILY. That man wasn't even invited to my wedding. He has never met my mother in law and some of my other family. How can a man who has NOT once called me to check on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own "son". He is my downfall! His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me.

    He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this! This goes to out to everyone!


So what caused all this? Earlier this week Joe told Radar, "They brought him down. Let him go and get his life together. I think the best thing for him would be to have a clean break, divorce Khloe and as a single man try and get his life back together."

After reports of his alleged infidelity and drug use surfaced this summer, Odom was arrested last month for D.U.I., and just days before his arrest, his teammates and agent attempted to have an intervention, but he reportedly left and didn't want their help. Though Lamar has spent some time with Khloe since those incidents occurred, we haven't seen or heard about them being together. Then again, she did wear her wedding ring on Monday night for dinner with the family...
