Very interesting article, but credibility was lost with the Britney Spears statement. While mentally ill, she’s been a terrible mother. [/quote]

I disagree. Now knowing what Britney was going through, there is a more of a chicken and egg question. Yes, she clearly struggles with mental illness, probably issues that she was born with and were made worse by her stardom. But what we know now is that once she had her kids, her father and Kevin and their team were CONSTANTLY threatening to take them from her (and lo behold they did). Even though it's now been established her dad is a really serious alcoholic and Kevin was constantly high.

If someone is credibly and constantly threatening to take your children away, it's not really fair to turn around and say you have MH issues. Because if in that situation you don't take a baseball bat to a car, you are the crazy one. [/quote]

This is getting off topic, but this is something we don't talk about enough.

We very quickly label people as "crazy" for having very strong emotional responses. We assume sanity means being calm.

But sometimes the calm people are calmly, methodically destroying someone else's life, often using power through legal means or set hierarchy. They are calm because they are in control, and they are in control because they have power and agency.

And then the person they are destroying reacts with a big emotional outburst, and the calm person points and says, "See. Crazy."

I'm glad that Sophie is not reacting to what Joe is doing, at least not publicly, because it's better for her in the long run. But I really wish we'd stop calling people (and especially women) crazy or unstable or, yup, bad moms just because they have understandably strong emotional reactions to people trying to harm them, control them, or take their kids away.[/quote]

Haha…so maybe calm Sophie is the one destroying Jonas life? I don’t know anything about this people just going by your calm and crazy description.[/quote]

No I think Joe is trying to be the calm one, as he tries to manipulate public opinion and smear Sophie. But it's backfiring because Sophie isn't reacting at all. Or if she is, she's doing so in private and only with people who can be trusted no to leak it.

That's the best and only way to deal with someone like this, but you need good, supportive friends and family. Someone like Britney Spears didn't have that, so her messiness was public and exploited by others.

Very glad that it appears Sophie has good support.[/quote]
