Welp, it looks like Us Weekly actually did have the scoop after all. In the current issue of Us Weekly, their sources claim that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were having serious issues in the weeks leading up to Kanye’s hospitalization. It sounds like Kanye was going through a real “manic” phase and Kim did not want to be around him, nor did she want the kids around him, and she told him they were taking a break. Soon after Kanye was released from the hospital, People Magazine’s sources claimed that Kimye was not and had not been on a break. Except guess what? Kanye may be out of the hospital, but he did not go home. All of that talk about how Kim didn’t want him around the kids was true: Kanye is now living separately from Kim and the kids.

Kanye West is out of the hospital, but the rapper is not back home with his wife Kim Kardashian West and their two children. A source close to the family tells PEOPLE the entertainer, 39, is living apart from his family for the time being and continuing treatment for undisclosed mental health issues after leaving UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital earlier this week.

“He is receiving outpatient care else with a medical team,” says the source. “Kim still seems concerned but is supportive. They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care.”

Though Kardashian West, 36, was a constant presence by her husband’s bedside while he remained hospitalized, an insider told PEOPLE she was “overwhelmed” by the situation and concerned about West’s relationship with their children, North, 3, and Saint, 11 months.

“She is very worried about the kids being around Kanye,” said the insider, who added that the children had not accompanied Kardashian West to visit their father.

It feels like a tough-love situation. It feels like Kim is telling Kanye that he needs to take his mental health seriously, listen to the doctors and take care of himself… or else she won’t let him come home. That’s just my reading of it. As for Kanye taking better care of himself, TMZ reports that this whole thing possibly started because Kanye wasn’t taking his meds as prescribed:

Kanye West is out of the hospital but not out of the woods, and it all stems from the rapper’s erratic pattern of taking his meds … sources connected with the family tell TMZ. Our sources say Kanye has long suffered from psychological issues controllable by medication. We’re told Kanye is steady on his meds, but deviated from the prescribed dosage … and that’s what led to the downward spiral and eventual mental breakdown.

It’s still unclear if Kanye flat-out stopped taking some of the pills or just decided to take different amounts — but we’re told he made the biggest changes in the wake of Kim’s Paris robbery. Doctors were able to keep Kanye in the hospital for 8 days, and during that time were able to medicate him, and get him more stable. We’re told he’s getting outpatient treatment and he’s okay right now, but since he’s not under 24/7 observation … it’s up to him to stay on the correct dosage.

If this is true, it would explain a lot about Kanye’s behavior over the past few years in particular. He’s always been eccentric (if not batsh-t crazy), but the swings in his mood and behavior were particularly wild over the past few years. I also wonder if he’s the kind of person who has mental health issues which can be well-stabilized by medication, but once he becomes stable, he thinks he doesn’t have to take his meds.
