'You're not sensitive to the family you left behind': Tearful Kris Jenner confronts ex-husband Caitlyn on I Am Cait

Caitlyn Jenner's comments about her family in her Vanity Fair cover interview have become a running bone of contention among the Kardashian clan.

And tearful Kris Jenner is shown confronting her ex-husband over what she has said about her in a powder keg moment that was teased after Sunday night's episode of I Am Cait.

In an episode punctuated with frequent clashes between former Olympic decathlon champion Caitlyn and her step-children, it looks like the infighting will finally come to a head on next week's episode.

Tears: Kris Jenner breaks down when she confronts her ex-husband on the forthcoming I Am Cait

Kris tells her in a video posted on E: 'You're sensitive and amazing to all these new people in your life, you're just not so sensitive and amazing to the family that you left behind.'

Caitlyn gives her side, responding: 'I try to do everything I can to be nice, reach out. You have to see it from my perspective, be an ally when it comes to dealing with the kids.'

She is also shown welling up with tears when Kris tells her: 'When you feel like you gave your whole life to somebody and the sum of it all was you were a distraction…'

Gathering her thoughts: The self-proclaimed momager was taking some time to verbalise her feelings

But her angry ex-husband shuts her down, saying: 'Don't go there, this is not the issue. I was defending myself. It was a distraction from the sense of who I was, that doesn't mean I didn't love you or the kids.'

Throughout Sunday night's episode Caitlyn is shown getting into arguments with her stepchildren, first with Kim and then with Khloe Kardashian.

When Kim comes to visit she first complains about how her family had all kept their distance.

She said: 'Nobody's come out [to visit], Kourtney hasn't made a move at all, obviously Khloe hasn't come close - I feel so isolated out here. All of a sudden there's this wall that's up there.'

Going for gold: The former Olympic champion decathlete will surely be hoping she can smooth things over

'I just want everybody to be happy. I love, love, love all my kids. I wish you guys were here every damn day.'

But it is not long before Caitlyn is also being criticized, firstly due to her nature and then due to what she has said about her family to Vanity Fair.

Kim said: 'You still have a little Bruce in you. I thought Caitlyn would be a little kinder. I think that there's some things that you said that you might not realise are hurtful.

'You said that Kendall and Kylie were a distraction. When they read that - I don't know that they'll quite understand that.'

Meeting of minds: Caitlyn was not afraid to fire back at the queen of reality television as they sparred

The conversation then turned to Kim's manager mother, with explosive results.

Kim said: '[The interview] said, "had Kris been accepting to who I am, we still would be together" - and that is the most unfair thing in the world to say.

'You're a woman now and she is not a lesbian - she does not want to be with a woman, that's not fair to ask.'

Caitlyn defensively insisted: 'As time went on our relationship changed drastically. In my eyes it's like, "Well, I don't need him any more - I've got all the girls." I felt it in the way she treated me. She wanted me out of the house.'

Family or fame: Kim warned Caitlyn she was in danger of losing her family in her pursuit of stardom

Kim, insisting Caitlyn should have been thrilled and saying 'good riddance' to a relationship that 'wasn't mean to be', told her: 'If I was with someone for 25 years I would look for the positive things and try to end it on a good note.

'You said "Kris mistreated me" - it sounded like she beat the s**t out of you. You could have a little more respect.'

But Caitlyn cut her off, warning: 'I can see where you're trying to go here - don't go there.'

Kim also had a stark warning for the attention-hungry reality television personality, saying: 'You've got the fame - but you're losing your family.'

Later Caitlyn also got into a verbal sparring match with Khloe, with the latter batting away claims she had sent 'very nasty text messages,' insisting she was the only one willing to tell her stepfather what everyone else was thinking.

Round two: It was not long before Caitlyn was also being taken to task by Khloe Kardashian

Facing facts: Khloe insisted her straight-talking was so Caitlyn knew exactly where she stood with her family

Khloe said: 'That makes me seem like this crazy b**ch. I'm like, I'm already a b**ch - I don't want to be the crazy and the b**ch, I want to be just the one.'

Of her texts, she told Caitlyn: 'Kim said that you said they were tough and Kim read all of them and she was like "these really weren't that tough".

'I just said "We don't care what you're doing." Meaning we don't care if you want to transition. We want to support you and be there for you.'

Mud slinging: Khloe was furious her stepmother was slighting her mother's good name in public

Getting through: After some brutal honest the pair ended up becoming close once more

'But, we don't think that that entails you speaking negatively about my mom. In our opinion, you don't even need to mention my mom. Let's focus on the actual cause her and let's not drag my mom through the mud.

'I would think you would come from a place of more compassion, especially when you have two young daughters who are greatly effected by it.

'And then when you tried to tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about….'

Caitlyn then cut her off and insisted: 'Because you don't know. You don't know.'

The joy of text: She offered to show Caitlyn how to send some apologetic text messages about her antics

'I didn't think it was a hatchet job on your mother - I have no issues with her.'

Khloe later said Caitlyn was 'very one sided, and I don't think that's fair', adding: 'There's so much I could say but it's a losing battle and I'm just over it.

'At the end of the day there are some things Cait will never understand - and I really just don't want to fight anymore.'

Feeling rough: She admitted that she was finding it difficult to cope with all of the family strife

Khloe also said after the showdown: 'I wish my mom and Caitlyn would conversate a little bit.'

No doubt she will be getting her popcorn ready for next week, when she will finally get her wish.

It was not all conflict with her step-daughters, as they also suggested ways to heal the situation, with Kim suggesting lots of nice tweets and canny Khloe recommending group texting.

The family distress clearly hurts Caitlyn, and in a chat with LA Gender Center's Susan Landon she said: 'I've said right from the beginning - I don't want to hurt my kids. And them having a difficult time with pretty much everything I do hurts down in your soul.'

Susan said: 'You can't force acceptance. It just, unfortunately, doesn't work that. and I think a lot of this is extremely painful for her.'

Acceptance: Despite the harsh message Caitlyn eventually conceded the validity of the point

On top of her family woes, Caitlyn was also warned that she had a hard road ahead of her - and would go through what feels like a second adolescence and also how she will never be accepted by large portions of society.

'Have you been dealing well with the freak factor?' Caitlyn was asked by Kate Bernstein, the author of Gender Outlaw who Jenner called 'one of the most experienced people in this field'.

'Because that's a fact,' Kate added. 'We are freaks to a lot of the world.'

Caitlyn eventually conceded she had a point.

She said: 'I agree - you are going to have that segment of the population that's going to say, 'This is the biggest freak show I've ever seen in my life, especially for me to do something like that.'

Kate told her she the key is, 'owning the freakdom with heart and going, 'Yeah I'm a freak and I love you. And I won't hurt you and I won't be mean to you, and you have my word on that. That's how it's gotta go.'

The episode also saw a meeting of reality television titans as she rubbed shoulders with fellow transgender celebrity Chaz Bono at an LGBT centre in Los Angeles to meet with families of children wrestling with their gender identity.

'I can learn a lot from him,' Cait said of Chaz, who came out publicly as transgender in 2009. 'For the longest time, I've wanted to talk to Chaz. I met him at Dancing With the Stars briefly, and obviously I couldn't tell him my story.

But when her hairstylist had teased her about spending possible alone time with Candis, Caitlyn said: 'Don't even go there! Get your mind out of the gutter.'

But she later teased the audience at home, saying:'I really like Candis - I admit she's nice, a beautiful lady, we have a lot of fun. I'm just learning so much from her - and she's really a lot of fun to be around.'
