Watch: Bruce Jenner Calls Family "His Greatest Accomplishment"

As Bruce Jenner continues to navigate through more changes than most people face in a lifetime, one thing remains exactly the same—how much he loves his family.

The Olympic gold medalist couldn't help but get emotional while talking several months ago with stepdaughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, all of them coming together to seek answers from their dad about his decision to finally start living as the woman he's always felt himself to be.

As seen in the first half of the two-night special Keeping Up With the Kardashians: About Bruce, Khloe was having an especially tough time with what she felt was Bruce's persistence in keeping secrets as he opened up to each one of them individually to discuss his transition.

(At this time, Bruce Jenner has not chosen to publicly identify as a woman and so E! News will continue to refer to him as Bruce and use male pronouns, until he indicates otherwise.)

In this scene from the show here, Kim reminds Bruce that "underneath Khloe's anger," she's fine with his decision overall.

"When Kendall and Kylie found out, I was the one who talked to them and said, ‘This doesn't change anything, [like] what a great dad you are,'" says Khloe, who despite being upset by certain things had also supportively gifted Bruce with clothes and heels as a surprise.

She insists, "I've always been defending you and protecting you."

"I've tried to do the best with it, and the greatest thing in my life I've ever done is raise my children," Bruce, getting emotional, tells all of his girls.

"Look at every one of you—successful, smart, intelligent," he says. "I am just so proud of all of you, it's my greatest accomplishment. I got everybody out of the nest, everybody's doing great. I've got to deal with myself. The last thing I want to do in the world is hurt any one of you. That is not my intention."

"If I'm not honest because I'm afraid to talk to you about this subject, because I know it hurts, I understand that," Bruce continues. "Am I doing it right, Khloe? You can never do this right, OK? There's no right way to do this."
