[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A court found Britney needed to be in a conservatorship and she actually had the only stable period in her adult life while under it.  People seem fixated on the LV residency and fine, that should have gone away if it wasn’t what she wanted.  She needed the treatment for her apparently serious mental illness, and like many seriously mentally ill, lacks the capacity to see the need for it.  When she was what you call “heavily medicated,” she was coherent and able to maintain stable relationships with a boyfriend and her children.  Not so now.[/quote]

Yes, but I think there is such a disconnect between her wealth enabling her to technically "take care of herself" and the scope of her illness that it's really hard to address and reconcile. Usually someone with her degree of mental illness would not have financial and logistical resources and be homeless in the streets or living in dangerous hoarder conditions. But she has a maid, an accountant, various people there so that part does not happen, and it feels like she perhaps does not "need" the conservatorship...Except then it also means her mental health needs are going neglected, and this can still endanger her and others.[/quote]

Well yes, but it also seems that people arguing for “ freedom”  don’t have first hand experience with family members or others with serious mental illness.  The illness dramatically affects their ability/competence  to make decisions about what is or isn’t in their best interest. [/quote]

I’m not so much arguing for her freedom more than arguing that Kevin Federline and Jamie Spears were not fit to run the conservatorship and showed time and time again that they did not have her best interest at heart.

I also think the way they used her children against her well before the conservativeship was cruel, inhumane, and greatly contributed to her mental health downfall. While it was clear that she should not have unfettered access to her children until she became more stable, the children should not have been used to bribe her to perform and that is what they did.

Jamie Spears was not fit to take care of himself. Google recent images of him, his extreme alcoholism has led to total destruction of his body, luckily he has some money left over that he can afford a full-time caregiver as he’s not able to manage by himself.

Kevin Federalline has mismanaged his finances so much that he was absolutely desperate when the child support payments dried up and had to sell that book which was a failure. [/quote]

Do you actually know these people or do you just get your info from TMZ and People? I don’t ever remember Kevin trying to be the conservator. You seem very naive re dealing with a family member who is seriously mentally ill and an addict, and that’s probably a good thing since that would mean you don’t have that in your family. Unfortunately I do.

She doesn’t have any right to drive drunk or subject anyone to her mental illness. She is an adult. She makes her own choices. Either she’s too mentally ill because of what everyone has done to her so it’s not her fault OR  she has enough agency to be allowed to make choices so she doesn’t need a conservator. What is it?

I wish she was well. I wish her kids had a healthier mother. [/quote]

I promise you have the right to impose your mental illness on others lol[/quote]

There is nothing LOL about your statement. WOW. [/quote]
