Yes, because all controlling, alcoholic, emotionally abusive fathers are in jail. Are you serious? |
“I’m a lawyer”. Lol then you know you don’t have all the facts either. There is nothing “plain to see” . |
The court cannot police family relationships at the level you are suggesting. It can and does police conservatorships and there is apparently no substantive evidence Britney was defrauded or abused over the course of hers. Britney’s lawyer was on the case as of a year ago, but nothing has materialized. I guess we will see if anything ever does. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leylamohammed/britney-spears-lawyer-jamie-spears-stole-millions-dollars |
That isn’t what I wrote. I said look at the evidence THAT IS plain to see. Thank you for letting me know you are, at best, a bad lawyer. |
Why are you so invested in defending Jamie Spears? I hope you're getting paid overtime. |
I’m not. I had an alcoholic emotionally and physically abusive ‘dad’ myself and I’m sure Jamie was a far from perfect father. He and Britney’s mother deserve to be reviled on some level for exposing her to forces that likely exacerbated her mental health issues if not being the catalysts for them. I honestly have strong feelings that maybe children shouldn’t be in these industries at all. I just haven’t seen the evidence of Jamie’s illegal actions and will reserve judgment until I do. |
+1 She at least hasn’t seen the interviews with Britney’s family friend. |
+1 You are arguing that a kid should love and forgive their parents no matter what as long as they provide them enough money to not struggle through childhood. This is a really sad argument and not a burden any child should have. |
Not that poster but it sounds like some of you are suggesting that mentally ill people shouldn’t be loved or forgiven. Equally wrong. They cannot control themselves. As adults, hopefully they will find a way to love and appreciate what she did given her limitations. |
I did not suggest the court police family relationships. Is that the lawyer that also took advantage of her or a new one? |
I understand your argument but she’s not in their lives at all. She doesn’t seem to be trying to get help and just posts really embarrassing Instagram videos and pictures. What did she do besides give them money? Honestly? |
Yes her most recent posts included gyrating in a skimpy leopard bikini around a hot pink stripper pole. I mean, COME ON. |
Interesting. |
You have a very old fashioned view of mental illness. Only a very small percentage of people with mental illness can't control themselves. There are people all around you with mental illness - depression, anxiety, OCD etc and even psychotic disorders like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who are still functional people with control. Medication and treatment can help with that. It isn't about not deserving to be loved - but you can't make or force children to love a parent who due to mental illness and resistance to treatment has treated them poorly. And they may love her in their own way but have chosen to not be in her life as that is healthier for them. There are things Britney can control and sufficiently that the judge lifted the conservatorship and put her in complete control of her own life and choices. While she and Kanye and others do make poor decisions influenced by their illnesses, they still have control and make choices. They have been deemed competent to manage their own lives and affairs. |
You have an ignorant or innocent understanding of serious mental illness. We’re not talking about manageable/treatable anxiety or depression. They often don’t take their meds and that’s because they’re not well enough to manage them. That’s why so many live on the street. So yes, someone needs to be taking care of her. Her dad was not the right person for this because he has his own issues. She is obviously not well enough to handle herself so why would you champion a kid writing off a parent who has been unwell and used their whole lives. If an intellectually deficient person has a child, do you suggest the kid write their parent off because they weren’t competent? It’s the same thing. |
