The psychiatrist thinks there must be some element of emotional blackmail stopping her from fighting more/sooner (likely to do with the kids). Both think the length and extent of the conservatorship is rare and questionable considering how much she has worked.

So a counterpoint to these experts on dcum, the actual experts who’s credentials I now disagree with you

Attorney here, I also work in this field, and I agree with the medical professionals' opinions above. In my state, someone has to be truly unable to meet their own basic needs to have a conservatorship or guardianship instated. It's a BIG deal and the degree of "mentally unfit" has to truly rise to the level of inability to function. NOT inability to make good decisions, inability to work consistently, inability to retain custody of children, inability to stop having children when their families feel they should stop; not inabliity to find and retain a healthy romantic relationship; not inability to maintain a socially accepted hairstyle or clothing; not inability to save money or spend wisely. It has to be a true inability to provide themselves with adequate nutrition to live, inability to obtain appropriate medical care and ascertain that it's needed, inability to maintain safe (not nice, not clean, just minimally safe) living conditions of any sort. Someone can be absolutely batshit crazy and if they're able to maintain a minimal baseline of living without actual danger to themselves and others, then they are not deemed incompetent. And if they ARE deemed incompetent, it's a matter of degree - so maybe they're incompetent to manage their assets in such as way as to understand basic management to be able to feed, cloth, and house themselves, and in that case the court may institute a LIMITED guardianship just over finances and property. In that case, the guardian has NO say over whether the person works, where/when/how they work, who they date, what medical decisions they make. The court grants the minimal level of conservatorship required for the person to be safe and okay. And no matter the degree of incompetency, the person's own opinion as to who shoudl serve as guardian is highly prioritized by the court. The law also requires the guardian to abide by the ward's wishes to the extent not harmful to the ward - so the guardian's preferences do not matter, if the ward's wishes would not cause them objective harm.

In light of all of that, it really is weird. I understand we absolutely do not have anything close to the full story. But if she's able to go on the road and maintain an instagram image, I'm shocked that she's not able to make more of her own decisions, even if a limited conservatorship were needed in specific areas of her life.

Mental Illness is not only a spectrum it is one of the few diseases that is quite fluid depending on treatment and supports. People literally move back and forth from functionality to not.
Only those closest to the situation knows for sure what the truth is.
My hope with the 3rd part as Conservator and court mandated therapy Britany will be able to become stable enough to make more life choices even if they aren't everything she wishes she could. But then again my 8 year old wants his own apartment and to adopt 100 cats so we don't always get what we want do we.

Britney is on vacation in Hawaii.

Her complaints about being reined in during covid demonstrate her impulsive behavior and lack of basic responsible decision-making. She clearly didn’t understand the pandemic, and she is clearly delusional.

She sounds a lot like the bipolar/addicted people I know IRL…including my sister who died way too young. Had we secured control over her, she would still be alive. We couldn’t force her to see her DR, take her meds, not drink, not take pills, etc.

Everyone acting like she’s fine and can handle her life clearly haven’t lived with/loved a person with BPD. She’s an easy target because of her lack of capacity and fortune.

The irony is that if she were flaming out in public all the same people saying. “Free Brittany” would be saying “why doesn’t someone save her. This is a complex, personal issue that really shouldn’t be getting this level of public attention. I wish all the people advocating for Brittany would spend the same amount of time helping or reaching out to someone who is struggling in their lives. Maybe that mom you thought was weird has PPD or anxiety. Why do we give so much care and latitude to strangers and so little to the people we actually know?

I’m not sure why people think Britney is well, anyone old enough to remember her breakdown knows how long it was, her actions at that time and she literally had no recovery.

To free Britney is to watch her as we did Anna Nicole as she deteriorates.

What else would he see in her?
Britney is very sweet, but what would the appeal of a badly aging, very damaged white trash former pop star to an absolutely gorgeous Iranian man 12 years her junior?

What a horrible person you are.

I like Britney just fine. I just happen to know a lot of hot Iranian men in their late 20s.

Bingo. And listening to her describe her "ID" was painful. Extremely low intelligence. It's IUD.

And probably makes her really want to have her hair and nails done. Some commenters are missing how central her appearance has been to her self conception and esteem. As well as the “trained monkeys can dance” commentator. Britney is right, she is not just good but great at what she does. And that should count for something when considering how high functioning she is.

My bipolar relative says her bagels are poisoned and that all our relatives are plotting against her. It ain't so. It may be that Britney has peeping Toms, but paranoia is one of the many lovely features of being bipolar.

Britney's last live performance was in 2018. I'm not sure if she's still working in some other way, but I doubt she's working 7 days a week if she's not touring.

I don't know if Britney is mad at Jamie Lynn, but her fans are. JL is close to her father and in Britney's testimony, she stated that she wants to sue her whole family [for doing nothing as her father did what he did]? It's the Free hive coming for JL.
