What Kim Kardashian Said

Kim Kardashian revealed that stress triggers her psoriasis flares, especially when she feels the need to protect her children. She focuses on shielding them from West’s outbursts, acknowledging that while they will eventually witness certain events, her priority is keeping them safe. She noted that her ex-husband had been unusually quiet with no public appearances since August and no social media posts since September. The reality TV star addressed his past, claiming that she was keeping her children from him, clarifying that they share the same home and he knew where the kids were. She also mentioned that he hadn’t reached out to their children in many months and reflected on their previous co-parenting plans.

Kardashian recalled the co-parenting plans she had discussed with West, including living next door and sharing daily responsibilities like school drop-offs and dinners, but noted that he clearly wasn’t interested. The couple, who married in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2022, have since seen West remarry Bianca Censori later that same year.

What Is Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response where victims of abuse or manipulation develop positive feelings toward their abuser as a coping mechanism. It can lead them to defend or protect the abuser, even while being harmed, and is not limited to physical captivity, occurring in emotional or psychological abuse as well. The syndrome illustrates how the mind adapts to survive threatening situations, often blurring the lines between fear, loyalty, and attachment.
