The People Who Saved Britney

Britney Spears had to be convinced, cajoled and even badgered into giving rehab a fair shot. We're told three people may have made all the difference.

Britney's mom, Lynne Spears, has been frustrated but undaunted in trying to convince her daughter that she had a problem and needed help. Before Kevin took custody, it was Lynne who protected the children. She has also made Britney and the kids the priority in her life. Britney has railed against her mother; but Lynne refused to back down.

We're told uber-lawyer Laura Wasser stuck with her client as Britney appeared to self-destruct. Many lawyers are notoriously impatient and even intolerant with clients who defy orders and reason. Wasser must have figured out Britney's problems were bigger than she -- and stuck by her side.

Kevin Federline has also been a staunch supporter of his estranged wife. According to several sources, K-Fed has "stepped up to the plate" in Brit's time of need, taking care of the kids and offering Britney and her family support. He has also shown the pop princess tough love; denying her access to their young boys, even when she begged him for it. That, our sources say, was excruciatingly painful for Kevin, but he knew it was the best thing for his wife and his children. We're also told he is being "extremely reasonable" in the divorce.

16. Good for all involved! Britney has been in the LIMELIGHT a really long time, and has grown up in this business! It does seem that after the birth of her second child, she went over board in everything and didn't seem to have the well to function in everyday life! I don't claim to know about PPD, but it does seem reasonable to me! You can't blame the girl for wanting to go out, alot of girls in their twenties want to go out, but the actions that she has been doing, just truly do not seem like the girl that she deep down truly is! It is conmendable of Kevin to step up and do what is necessary to help her! She has helped him in numerous ways, and maybe deep down these two really geniunely care about each other, but just are not compatiable to be in a intimate or long term relationship with each other! Britney was good to Kevin while they were togehter, and it seems other than him wanting to party alot and wanting to flirt with girl's while she was pregnant, maybe these two people deep down are decent people, and I hope that for their children sake that they both come on the other side better people, better parents and we should offer hope and care to them all and wish them all love, happiness and joy! Britney is a talented singer, but unfortunately for numerous reasons she didn't get the opportunity to find herself before she become a wife and mother! Maybe she has seen the light in all issues of her life, and hopefully she can get handle on all things negative in her life, and find inner peace for herself, and get a good rest and break from the craziness that seems to surround her every move! For her sake, I would like to see her move back to either Louisana or the West Coast, the Paparattzi doesn't seem to be as aggressive in NY as it does in Hollywood! I say no one should judge her until we have stepped foot in her shoes for one day! I couldn't breath or live under the pressure that she has for the past five years or so, that would have driven me crazy along time ago! Hopefully, she'll get a chance to breath and do some serious soul searching in what really Britney really needs and wants in her own life! Maybe this is a Blessing in the long run for Britney, and hopefully it will save her life! God Bless her, and keep her and her family in your Prays..

18. Britney needs a swift kick in the pants, spoiled brat. She doesn't need rehab or Jesus. She needs a giant dose of reality to go with that enormous case of herpes.

19. OMG this slut will be out giving blow jobs in the mens room by mid summer. She's just a whore, Paris and K-Fed proved it. They both used her up and kicked her out. That all she's good for.

22. K-Fed should get a standing ovation for telling Britney to get her shit together. Of all the accusations that the media & the public put on Kevin, Kevin is coming out looking like the good guy. I always wondered did someone came between Britney & Kevin or other problems occured when those two were married? Whenever Britney get over from this, maybe Brtiney & K-Fed should talk things over & see where this realtionship is going. I think they should give it another chance.

24. Illness? She has an illness? You are kidding right-this is just someone's way of saying she is not accepting responsiblity for her actions. What a horrifying example for those 2 kids!

25. What a joke this whole thing is. Oh sure K-Fed is there but all he's thinking about is getting back into the money!!! Everyone always has the almighty dollar in mind. Money rules......

26. Kat-calling the fact that you do not know how or when to quit a disease is just another way of leaving that door open in case you decide to stop coping again. I am a reformed alcoholic-not a recovering one. I decided & chose to stop drinking-I did not blame it on genetics or alcoholic parents. I have no enablers-I am a drunk that does not drink.

29. to # 7 and 15 hey dumb asses try reading up on post partum, it causes women to kill their children and themselves.. its an illness. she didnt choose to have it. yes acting erratcially and crazy are a huge part of it. when you have PPD you feel like you are crazy, you do things you would never normally do. before you keep talkin smack try reading up on the illness... or keep your mouth shut/ WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU BRIT

30. Who would have though Kevin would have come out smelling like a rose? But could you blame him for how he was? The girls worth millions and a celebrity. WHY should he have worked? I wouldn't want my husband working either...I'd want someone to hang out with. That's the most precious thing money can buy, time to do whatever you want without HAVING to work. However, I still think Brit should retire. She's beat in my book. Go back to Hicksville and raise them boys.
