KOURTNEY Kardashian has ‘deliberately cut herself off’ from her family since giving birth, The Sun can reveal.

Kourtney’s family have apparently asked when she will start working again, though she has warned them she “won’t be rushed”.

A source tells us: “Kourtney always wanted 40 days to recuperate after giving birth.

“Her pregnancy was hard and physically & emotionally challenging, and she had no intention of rushing back out there – she wants to slow it all down.

“She says she has nothing to prove, but wanted to make sure all the kids were feeling grounded and secure and loved and involved.

“Now as the 40 days are nearly up, Kourtney says she’s going to take her time getting back to it.”

The insider added: “Friends are worried she’ll never return to public life – at least not at the level she was.

“When her family ask about when she’ll be back to work she tells them she won’t be rushed and to back off.

“She’s basically cut herself off from everyone at this stage.”

Kourtney’s rep has been approached for comment.

Since giving birth on November 1, Kourtney has been tucked away at home.

Fans had suggested the star was keeping herself and baby Rocky away from the public eye deliberately following her frightening pregnancy.

Exactly two months before she gave birth, Blink-182 announced that they had canceled their UK and Ireland tour dates for husband Travis Barker, 48, to attend to an “urgent family matter”.

The following day, Kourtney and Travis were seen exiting a Los Angeles hospital in photos obtained by TMZ.

Kourtney had undergone a surgical procedure to save the life of her unborn child and she later wrote on Instagram: “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life.

“I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock.”

There has also been ongoing rumors of a feud between Kourtney and the rest of her family – especially with Kim Kardashian.

Mom Kris Jenner openly aired her grievances about her oldest daughter in a video last month, while the Kardashian-Jenners have suddenly called time on a long-running festive family tradition.

Khloe Kardashian has announced there will be no family Christmas card this year, with fans convinced its because of Kourtney and Kim’s fallout.

Meanwhile, just this week, Kourtney’s brand, Poosh, opened up about psychological struggles on its Instagram Stories.

A shared photo showed a couple cuddling on the street, and asked social media followers: “Do you suffer from Perfect Moment Syndrome?”

A link on the Poosh post led to a blog, where it was explained that the syndrome started when people had “extremely unrealistic expectations” of huge life events, with “the birth of your child” given as an example.

The article went on to say that when these expectations aren’t met, it can lead to “anxiety, disappointment, and depression”.

Kourtney, who revealed to fans she had been playing board games, has not posted any photos of her son on social media while hiding away at home.

Travis, however, has shocked fans by hanging out with N8NOFACE last Thursday.
