Rob Kardashian wasn’t in the family Christmas card, didn’t attend Kris Jenner's Christmas Eve party and now he reportedly feels like he “needs a clean break” from the family that “abandoned him.”
The only son of the late Robert Kardashian and the brother of Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, Rob has had a tough year with the domineering clan.
“He feels like his family puts TV first and they’re incapable of being real,” a source told In Touch magazine about his relationship with his siblings and mom.
“He realizes his expectations in life don’t line up with theirs.”

Always out for a promotional buck, Rob’s mother Kris was pushing for him to get a weight-loss deal and to promote a hair-loss deal and supplement.
But with all the changes in the family, including Kris and Bruce Jenner splitting up, Rob has felt like he’s not relating well to everyone else.
“He feels like the family abandoned him when he needed them most. For him, life is more than just a business deal.”
With season nine of Keeping Up With The Kardashians coming up and Kim’s engagement and wedding to Kanye West, Rob “feels like his family can’t see anything beyond the spotlight. But he wants more for himself than fame.”
