As reported yesterday, Britney Spears checked into a rehab facility earlier this week and then abruptly checked out. Then apparently after returning to California, the former pop princess apparently shaved her head completely bald. Her new style choice was revealed as she went to a tattoo parlor on Friday night.
Something is very wrong here, I really hope she finds a place to get some help.

If she thought doing this was going to get herself some much-needed "peace," she was way off. I'm beginning to think she actually LIKES all of the negative attention. I just really, really feel for her sons. Poor kids to have a mother this messed up who by all accounts doesn't want to get better - not even for them. I'm sorry, but she is selfish and I'm just going to say it... she is going to LOSE custody of those kids and I think it's probably a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHave some compassion for the woman, she has recently seperated from her husband, had baby #2 and
ReplyDeleteendures negative press on a daily
basis. I understand that she makes her own choices and must live with the consequences of those but to have those publicized every day and critiqued by strangers I think any person, especially one with very few healthy coping mechanisms could withstand all that negativity. Its obvious there is something wrong with her, whether it be post partum depression, depression, addiction, low self esteem..whatever, she does not deserve people hoping that her children be taken away from her, especially other women and mothers. That is the cruelest thing any woman could do to another. I hope for her and her babies that people stop judging and hoping bad things on them and actually try and help. Sorry for the long rant but I work with young moms like britney spears every day who are addicted, depressed and are from very unhealthy backgrounds and they find it hard to cope in private never mind publicly. We need to as women and mothers pray for eachother and be supportive. Leave the negativity and judgements to the men! Has anyone asked her what she wants? seriously!

I would never side with a woman just because we have motherhood in common. This girl is in big trouble, appears to be making no effort to care for herself or for her children. At this point, I think what's best for the kids is what matters most, not whether or not Britney can handle living in a fish bowl. Seriously, if she doesn't want this kind of scrutiny she should go back to Louisiana. And I certainly would never wish bad things to happen to anyone, I just think that an intervention of sorts is long overdue and I pray that by now, her family is focused on what her two boys need. She's not going to help herself until she wants to - and that day may never come. She has all the opportunities in the world to get better, and what does she do? She flees a rehab center for LA, where she promptly shaves her head and gets new tattoos. Doesn't sound like someone who wants the responsibility she has.
ReplyDeleteIt also doesn't sound like a person who is sane. There are more than just "not wanting responsability" going on here, there are obvious mental health issues in effect. I agree that the welfare of her children should be top priority. I also agree that a SERIOUS intervention needs to take place. Its obvious that she has endured major stress over the last while such as supporting an entire family,trying to live up to the unrealistic expectations of others including us, the general public, marital breakdown, pregnancy, surgery, death of an aunt plus public scrutiny and humiliation. This coupled with possible post partum depression (remember she just had a child) and the above stress are going to impair her ability to make healthy decisions. As well, it doesn't seem as though she has a very supportive family or friends anyway who can guide her through this period because they depend on her for their meal ticket. I definately agree with many of your points but I feel that people are too quick to judge the surface stuff and tend to overlook what has brought her to the place she is now. I feel as women, especially mothers tend to have more empathy for people when they are struggling and will be
ReplyDeletemore proactive rather than reactive in their response to others misfortunes or mistakes.
I hope I haven't offended p's mama during this discussion, it isn't my intention. I agree with her 100% that Britney Spears needs help, not only for the sake of herself but for the safety of her beautiful children. I guess I am approaching the situation based on my own experience. I was a young mom and in the span of 6 months I lfet an abusive relationship, my dad died, I moved to a different province and became a single parent. I didn't have good coping skills because my family is unstable. As a result I became an alcoholic and drug addict, nearly losing my child to social services. However I gradually overcame my problems and I am now married with more children, sober, responsible, social worker and I recently completed my degree. I have experience from where she is coming from and I pray and hope that she will make it out a better person and mom. Sorry for the long rants but I am long winded..lol!

She's in some deep trouble, and those boys are going to be the ones that suffer most! I don't like K-Fed at all, but at least he isn't out all night flashing his goods, checking into rehab centers, and then shaving my head like I'm having some kind of major mood swing. She'd better get her s*** straight before those boys are old enough to remember this.
ReplyDeleteNo offense taken! I'm glad to hear another perspective on the matter, from someone who's been there. I hear what you are saying and I agree with you for the most part, but every time I read a new story about her, her little boys flash through my mind and it just seems so unfair that they are so young and are subjected to this whole situation - they have no say in this at all. And especially the baby, when has he had time to bond with his mother? The repercussions of her actions can reach well into her sons' adulthood. Bottom line is that I also hope that she gets the help she so desperately needs and that she is able to keep her family together, but the other bottom line is that the welfare of the children should always come first. Thanks for the lively discussion!
