here here, Dawn. Team Brintey all the way. And in no context in the Britney doc on MTV did I hear her say that Kevin was a bad father to her boys. Maybe Kevin and her just didn’t click. They are both good parents and I’m sure Britney understands that. I also think she has always been pressured to blow things out of proportion since she has been in the limelight so much and remaments of her behavior of encouraging the paparazzi still probably exist. I think you ladies are (with the exception of a few wise posts) blowing this whole thing up and expecting Britney to change dramatically overnight. In no way is she acknowledging that she’s totally cured. I doubt she fully understands what’s going on in her head (not calling her stupid)at this point. With time she will improve. Mental illness takes months or even years for major improvements.
At least she’s not on pills, heroin, or prostituting.

Thanks, CelebBabyLover.

Dawn- Thank you! That’s exactly what I was trying to say!

Nicole- How many times do I have to say this? KEVIN HAS A JOB!!!!!!! He’s a DJ!

Britney has a long road to go still, but she’s doing better. She’s working, she’s not with people who bring her down anymore, and she’s seeing her boys. Why the attacks? She cannot help the way the magazines word things.

As for the stable provider part, well, let’s take a long look at Kevin, shall we?? What exactly does he do for a living? We know he can’t rap or act, so where does his money come from? Oh yes, from Britney… he got money from the prenup and he gets something like $10K in Child Support. He’s still driving around in nicer vehicles than most people and living in a huge house. But yet, he has no job. Britney is the only ‘provider’ financially for those boys. Kevin is just mooching off of her like he always has… no surprise there. Stop acting like she’s attacking him when she’s only saying the truth. If Britney wants to settle down again, it needs to be with someone who can be a stable, father figure and help her provide for those boys. Eventually she’ll turn around enough to get them back… and then Kevin will be back to being what everyone knows he is, a BUM!

It never ceases to amaze me how people can attack this woman. I don’t think some of you fully understand what having a mental illness is like. It is pure, unadulterated hell and unless you’ve been through, you are really in no position to judge. Is Britney doing better? To my eyes yes. Does she have a long way to go still? Once again, yes. But you have to remember that one time she was one hell of a sick young woman. She needs to stay on the path she is currently on. Calling her a spoiled brat, et al is a just being ignorant. Before she got on her meds, her ILLNESS was making the decisions for and now that she is on meds she has to work through everything that happened to her due to her illness. It will take time to do that and not namecalling.

As a single mother, who my childs father is still involved in my daughters life (he has her twice a week) i eventually want to settle down again and im not settling for any man that isn’t a father figure to my daughter. he needs to be stable, exactly what britney is saying. it doesnt mean i want them to take over her fathers role, i just dont want some loser guy being in her life and i think thats what she means too…her kids can have more than one father figure

Lis and mary- ITA! And for the record, I don’t think any of us are trying to say that Britney should get a free pass just because of her mental illness. All we’re saying is that, because she DOES have a mental illness, we should at least try to be a little understanding.

Amen Sarah!

Wow, some of these comments in here are unbelivable, “Stop judging her” and “leave her alone” and “it’s not her fault….” followed by the reason why nothing that Britney does is wrong or bad and why nothing that has gone wrong in her life is her fault or her responsibility, usually then followed by some rude comment about Kevin that’s filled with information that no one from the outside looking in could possible know for sure.

I just have a question for those of you defending her: At one point does Britney stopping being “young” and start being responsible for her own actions? At what point does her “strange childhood” stop being a justification for everything that she does wrong? At what point are you going to start putting the welfare of Britney’s children above what Britney wants and needs and thinks and says and does? At what point are you going to start holding Britney to the same standards that you hold everyone else?

Lots of people have difficult childhoods where they have to grow up too fast. Lots of people have mental illnesses. Lots of people are in the public eye. None of those things give a person a free pass to do and say and be anything they feel like doing/saying/being, especially when it’s to the detriment of everyone around them. None of those things make it acceptable for Britney to do one “poor me” interview after another or to insult her childrens’ father, or to do any of the things that some of you are trying to justify. None of those things equates to us not bein able to be upset when Britney does something that is unacceptable. If others want to continue to make excuses for her then go ahead. But it’s an insult to every person who is bipolar, and every person who has had a difficult childhood, to pretend like those things makes a person incapable of doing better than the way Britney is behaving. She is not doing her children any good by saying snotty things about their father and I will not pretend like it’s okay or justified or a good thing just because there are some who are willing to excuse everything she does.
