Tristan Thompson is coming to grips with how his decisions may affect his kids.

During Thursday’s (October 5) episode of The Kardashians, the Cleveland Cavaliers center reflected on the tenets he has lived by and how his lifestyle has been a mirror of those beliefs, as reported by PEOPLE.

"It wasn't until I really had to look at myself. I never had to hold myself accountable. We're taught, 'Be the man, do what you please, bros before h - - s ...' " he shared. "You gotta just be your own man and don't care what people think and don't feel like you have to get validation from others."

Now, he is concerned with what his children will think about his past behaviors.

"True is understanding stuff and Prince understands things where they go to school and they have classmates. The last thing I ever want them to do is feel embarrassed that I'm their father," he explained.

He continued, “I think going down this journey that I've been on, especially with losing my mom, I always ask myself, 'Why do certain things to hurt certain people?'"

Thompson is father to four children, including True, 5, and a 1-year-old son, Tatum, whom he shares with Khloé Kardashian.

The basketball player and his younger brother Amari –whom he is the legal guardian of– had been staying in Kardashian's home while his home was being renovated.

During a confessional in that same episode, the Good American founder got candid about their temporary living situation.

"I definitely feel overwhelmed and I guess, stressed at times, but I'm not the one going through most of the pain here."

She also reflected on where her relationship stands with Thompson today after the rocky road that led them to break up.

“What happened between Tristan and I was not some small little incident. It was some massive situation that really was very traumatic experience for me and my life, so I'm not gonna forget it," she said. "But I'm so proud that I'm able to be kind and mature and show my children that Mommy and Daddy can co-exist and be co-parents, and I'm able to be here for him when he's in his time of need.
