Paging Lynne And Jamie Spears, Your Daughter Britney Is Naked In The Middle Of A Store - Page 3
But here's a question...does she even want custody? Is she, despite her protestations in her song "Piece Of Me", having problems reconciling her role as pop star and mother? Is she unconsciously trying to shoot herself in the foot? And if she is, how is this adding to her already unstable mental state?
Yes, Britney is a spoiled brat, used to having her own way. She acts selfishly and immaturely, independent of the mental problems. But she's also mentally ill, probably bipolar, and acting selfish and self-centered can be one of the symptoms or effects of bipolar disorder as well.  Stir together the inherent selfish and self-centered nature, add the bipolar disorder, throw in some ADD, sprinkle on some OCD (her cleaning compulsion, her hating to be touched, etc), remove from her anybody with her best interests, mix well, and you've got a trainwreck on your hands. Her grandiose statement that she'd do anything for her kids, would die for her kids, rings hollow when she can manage to go shopping and out to eat in full view of the paparazzi the same day that she can't manage to go from a holding room in the courthouse to the courtroom where her fate as their mother is being decided.
But she doesn't have total control in the courtroom, she can't fool anybody in there, she can't have her own way with the judge in charge, so of course she can't handle that. She can't manage to go to the hearing, but she can go out later that day to restaurants and shopping in full view of the same paparazzi chasing her earlier...but in this case, she's the one in control. I'm not trying to be nasty, just pointing out the thought process can work.
Lynne and Jamie, if you want your oldest daughter to last the year, you'll drop everything else and do the right thing for her. You've managed to do a horrible job of parenting thus far, but you've got a chance now to do something right. DO IT.
