KATHRYN Dennis slammed the “family court system” as “exhausting” after her ex Thomas Ravenel won full custody over their two small children.
The Southern Charm star lost her rights after her ex accused her of drug abuse and neglect.
Kathryn, 29, took to her Instagram stories on Thursday to share a scathing post directed at the “family court system.”
“It is exhausting to constantly defend yourself from someone who is trying to change reality – it can even make you question what you know happened, or what is true,” the post began.
“It can be exhausting to live two lives: one for your children and for the world (everything is fine), and the other where you are beaten down by the family court system.
“We see you and we stand with you. You are not alone,” the message finished.
DADDY’S DEED
Thomas, 58, recently moved with their children to Aiken, South Carolina, amidst his nasty custody war with Kathryn.
The father of two snap of their six-year-old daughter, Kensington, as she sat in the window seat of her bedroom playing on her iPad.
The reality star captioned the picture: “So thrilled to have my daughter in our new home.”
Thomas also shared a video of Kensie and their four-year-old son Saint as they ran and jumped into the pool, screaming: “Best Daddy!”
NASTY BATTLE
Earlier this year, The Sun revealed that although Kathryn temporarily lost custody of her kids, she has been granted supervised visitation “during the day Saturday and Sunday every other weekend.”
Thomas previously requested full custody of the kids after claiming the TV personality demonstrated “drug abuse and neglect.”
In South Carolina court records uncovered by The Sun, Thomas alleged that a mutual friend told him about a recent trip he took to North Carolina with Kathryn, her boyfriend Chleb Ravenell, Kensie, Saint, and others.
“He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within the grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous,” he told the judge.
In her court response, Kathryn shot back: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”
The Bravo star agreed to take a drug test as long as Thomas “pays for it and takes one as well.”
TENSE HISTORY
Kathryn had previously lost custody of her children when she entered rehab after she tested positive for marijuana in 2016.
In 2018, she filed for primary custody after her ex was arrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree.
The family’s former nanny accused him of sexual assault and he pleaded guilty.

The TV star received a 30-day suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.
At the time, he said: “While I reiterate that I have never intentionally sexually assaulted anyone, I also acknowledge that by making an unwelcome advance to Dawn in my home, while she was babysitting my daughter, I behaved improperly and caused her immediate and lasting emotional distress. I unqualifiedly apologize for having done so.”
Thomas was fired from Southern Charm before season six.
