I have two nieces who both have multiple diagnoses including serious mental illness of the type Britney exhibits and which qualified her to be under a conservatorship for more than a decade. So, I have some idea of the type of behavior Britney is engaging in now that she is free of the conservatorship and does not have to be compliant with meds or therapy of any kind.
Sam met Britney when she was supported by a team of doctors and support staff who kept her compliant. He dated her for years while she was on meds and doing her best as possible considering her severe mental illness. Then she got ‘free’ and wanted to marry him and he married her and now for the last year he’s had the opportunity to live with a seriously mentally ill person who isn’t being compliant with meds or therapy. I cannot blame him for leaving nor can I assume he was using her given the larger context.
With experience with family members with mental illness and friends with family members who have diagnoses similar to Britney's public behavior, I agree with this.
He's not the bad guy here. Just human.
