Since then, he's posted a series of increasingly concerning tweets, most of which have since been deleted. In one, he claimed his wife had attempted to force him into mental health treatment against his will. In another, he said he'd been"trying to divorce" Kardashian West, before branding her and mother Kris Jenner"white supremacists".
Kardashian West, who married West in 2014 and shares four children with him, went on to explain that she and other friends and family were"powerless" to force West into"getting help" because he isn't a minor."Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor," she explained.
Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware of, or far removed from this experience can be judgemental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.
