A source told PEOPLE Kim is “at the end of her rope—again. He's off his meds. He promised he'd stay on them. The last time, part of his negotiation with Kim was that he'd get back on his medication and he would work very hard to control his impulses. He made a lot of promises. And now those promises are broken, less than a month later.”In July, Kanye engaged in another tweetstorm where he elaborated on private details of Kim’s family planning decisions from an earlier Presidential rally, accused mother-in-law Kris Jenner of being a dictator like Kim Jong-Un, and then said he’s been vying for a divorce for years. Kim broke her silence a little while later, addressing her husband's biopolar disorder in a series Insta-Stories, where she called for compassion, privacy, and understanding.HA HA I GOT MY TWITTER BACK ⛷

After spending some time apart, the two had a tearful reunion, and ‘Ye apologized publicly to his wife. PEOPLE reports that publicity representatives for both West and Kardashian declined to comment, but the source close to the situation said Kim is feeling “like she can only take so much.”“It's the same thing over and over and over again,” the source says. “He's on very thin ice with her right now, and she's truly trying to decide what to do to protect the kids, but also her own sanity. The whole thing is discouraging and difficult for her.”The source continued, “Kim had zero clue that he was going to tweet anything. None whatsoever. And she saw the tweets and was like, 'Seriously? Again?'”“She wants to be a supportive partner; she's doing everything she can do to support him. But he has to support himself. He has to take care of his own health. She can't force feed him medication. She can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do.”[video_embed id='2036302']RELATED: Kim K and other celebs join 1-day boycott of Instagram [/video_embed]Kanye has been very vocal about his serious investment in his 2020 run for President—a run which many think is ill-conceived and will steer votes away from Democratic presidential hopeful, former VP Joe Biden. However, the source says Kim isn’t concerned with the politics and is way more focused on the happiness and stability of her family.“She doesn't care one bit about the presidential run,” the source said. “She wants the kids to be happy and to have a stable father. That's all she wants. And she'll do whatever she can do to have that happen. But she is not going to cater to his whims.”“For such a powerful woman, she feels very powerless, and she hates it,” the source added.This feeling has been expressed from the Kardashian camp for a while now, as in her Insta-Stories statement from July, Kim reasserted her feeling of powerlessness, stating, “Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”The Kardashian-West clan has been notably having issues all year, from the beginning of the pandemic when Kim was reportedly feeling abandoned by Kanye and left to rear the children—North, 7, Saint, 4, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 16 month—on her own. “She loves Kanye very much, and he just doesn't realize how much pain he's causing her,” the source finished.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Corgi chomps down on tasty watermelon [/video_embed]Kim’s statement on Kanye: pic.twitter.com/yWuxSVcBgV
