Khloe Kardashian doesn't mince words when she talks to divorce lawyer Laura Wasser about her relationship -- or lack thereof -- with ex Tristan Thompson ... BUT she also have some kind words for the baller!

On Wasser's Divorce Sucks! podcast, True's mommy tells the Hollywood attorney she tries to keep things civil for her daughter: "It does f*****g suck, it does. There's [sic] moments that our personal emotions are still in there. For me, Tristan and I broke up not too long ago so it's really raw and those emotions can be heightened at times. True is like one and a month old so she doesn't really know what's happening but to me she does know. She feels energy and I'm a big believer in that so I do everything in my power to not put any sort of heavy energy around her."

Khloe, 34, addressed the blowout birthday bash she threw for True when her baby turned a year old: "I know her dad is a great person and I know how much he loves her and cares about her so I want him to be there and it was civilized and we did it."

A great person?! Lest she forget, Tristan cheated on her right before she gave birth AND made out with (at the very least - we suspect it was more) with Kylie's BFF Jordyn Woods a few months ago. That's not a great person, Khloe -- no need to be overly generous!

Still, we admire her maturity in keeping her feelings for Tristan, 28, away from their daughter. Keep being the bigger person, Khlo!
