There are so many issues driving a wedge between Kim and Kyle Richards that it will take a miracle for them to even begin speaking again, it seems. Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are very familiar with these two and their troubled history. Kim has struggled with heavy addiction issues for years and while Kyle has been her biggest supporter, it wasn't until Kim sobered up a few years ago that they seemed to truly bond. During filming of the current season of RHOBH Kim appeared to have slipped in her sobriety and rather than addressing it, she lashed out at everyone. Kyle certainly got the worst of it and even now, months later a series of events have left the sisters on bad terms.

Back in November Kim's pit bull bit Kyle's daughter Alexia, shredding her hand. Kim's decision not to put the viscous dog down prompted Kim to keep her distance and when the ladies got together for the taping of the RHOBH reunion show a few weeks ago, things were icy at best. This week it was confirmed that one of Kim's grown kids has been hospitalized for depression issues and while Kyle has reportedly reached out, she has heard nothing from her sister.

According to a report by Radar Online, "Kyle has texted Kim to check in regarding the hospitalization, but she hasn't received any response. The sisters are further apart than ever even though Kim could use Kyle's support. It's just an incredibly sad situation because Kim has so much stress in her life including dealing with her beloved ex-husband, Monty's terminal cancer," explains an insider.

Clearly, the issues dividing Kim and Kyle are really serious ones. Do you think that they'll eventually decide to patch things up again in order to repair their relationship? Do you think that Kim's sobriety is the real issue here and until she can actually maintain it things will be rocky between them? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
