“Us missing a time of our lives is still probably the hardest thing to deal with,” Brandon Jenner told the cameras. “We’re trying to not look back, we’re looking forward.”

Bruce admitted that the gender identity crisis he was enduring, led to him being absent too ofter from his family’s lives. “The big formative years for them, I was really struggling with these issues.
