Britney's Love-Hate Relationship with Dad

61. Jared if Britney gave her father gifts that is her business. After all these are her parents & all these other suckers are just hanger-ons. Parents sacrifice their lives for their children & most children enjoy helping them in return when they become adults. My parents gave me life & loved & cared for me so I gave them love & everything I could financially as long as they lived. There is nothing like a families love. TOO BAD YOU NEVER HAD ANY PARENTS TO SHOW YOU HOW TO LOVE.

62. In our family we have a history of mental illness. (Grandfather was hauled off to and spent his last days in an asylum, others were Borderlines, narcisstic personality disorders, committed suicides, depressives, bipolar, you name it, we are nothing if not interesting..) I have lived in fear of it all my life and successfully treated and cured of depression. Since navigating that briar patch it pains me to hear what is being said about Britney.

Personally I do not believe she is bipolar truly.. You can have drug induced mania, and nervous breakdowns can do the same. I myself have sat in mental health support groups with bipolars describing their episodes and she just doesn’t fit the bill , at least not as a personality...(I am not bipolar, but because it is part of the depressive group I was part of the support network.)

I hope her therapists will not pin any labels on her until they get to the bottom of a few things.

When all this began to unravel I asked myself, “Here’s a girl who has been disciplined and successful all her life, and now she is acting so crazy. I wonder who is the crazy maker in her life.?
I think it is Sam Lufti.


First of all Sam Lufti is no friend by telling the media and others that Britney is bipolar and crazy. He seems too comfortable with informing others of this. No manager or friend would reveal something like that, and certainly not if it were true. And I do say IF.

(an excellent treatise on crazymakers can be read in "The Artists Way")

Everything he has done is to create distance and strife between this young woman and her tried and true connections of the past.

Where a good friend would have built bridges for her, he has set fire to them. What are his qualifications as a manager? I believe it is this man who is mentally unbalanced. At the very least he is an egoist to think he is qualified to interfere with those who have helped her so much in the past. Best of luck to her, and may she find her way back from the craziness that surrounds her.

63. Katherine,

You are a sick fool trying to spread rumors about the Spears family. You must be Sam & just mad because your money supply got cut off.

65. My son has a mental illness and when it first manifested, he thought I was trying to poison him and would either not eat so he lost several pounds in several days or after he ate he would vomit on purpose. On the first ER visit, he thought the needle the doctor used to draw blood was actually a lethal injection. He thought all his friends and coworkers were plotting against him. It takes weeks and sometimes over a month, for medication to fully take effect. Generally, unless a parent of an adult mental patient has been proven to be abusive, the parent is the person most likely to be legally appointed conservator. I can tell you from my experience that family is who a mental patient relies upon. Friends disappear out of ignorance, fear, discomfort, all sorts of reasons. Some just don't know what to say or do. I think to change the conservator too quickly would be unwise.

66. I'm sick of hearing about these leeches coming along & thinking they can latch onto our children & drain them of all their finances & sanity because they're too lazy to work. This is sounding just like the Anna Nicole Smith story where she along with her son ended up dead. I hope the judge does the right thing & lets the father continue looking after his daughter. She is too mixed up now to make her own decisions & will thank him one day for saving her life.

69. I feel sad for her. Every non-celebrity cant fathom the life that she has lived. And EVERYONE has made mistakes in their life at one point or another...even moms. If the best place for those boys to be is with their father then so be it. At least thats more than some of the non-celebs. I think if she really is cracking up its understandable. Combine drug/alcohol addiction with the hormonal imbalances of having two children in a row and perhaps even post-pardom depression and throw a divorce in to boot. Then top it all off with more drugs/alcohol, people following her everywhere she goes usually traveling in packs like hungry wolves. Hmmm oh yeah and then losing custody of those beautiful boys whether its of your own doing or not just that alone would put anyone of us down. Combine it all together and frankly she has every right to check out of reality for a bit. Lets face it no ones first choice is a mental hospital but its definatly a good place for her to start working through her life. As for her best interest, it may be best to have a neutral person who can make decisions based solely in her best interest. I will pray for Brit not because she is a famous person but because in the end she is only but a human. Take it all away and she is no different than someone we may all know and care for in our own lives. I hope you get better because its never too late to start anew, Brit.

70. In the end, despite whatever has happened in the past, he is her father and he loves her.

72. zolio

you are a cold hearted a-hole.

73. 12. Of course Britney hates her father. In all likelihood, he's been sexually molesting
Britney and Jamie Lynn since they were little girls. These hillbillies have been
inbreeding for generations. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he's responsible
for the Jamie Lynn pregnancy. The whole disgusting lot of them are nothing but
trash.

WOW, that's a pretty hateful accusation to make on someone you DON'T EVEN KNOW. Why would anyone want to be so cruel about someone they have never even met? Why would anyone think all problems with children are because of their parents? What ever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions? Britney's dad is doing exactly what he should be doing. Fighting for his daughter's rights and trying to protect her from the vultures$
