Britney Spears - The Best Medicine
According to TMZ, Kevin Federline is attempting to go to bat for ex wife, Britney Spears. It seems K-Daddy wants Mama-Brit to have visitation and the lawyers went to court trying to accommodate that, but it didn’t happen. Brit’s father, Jamie also has wanted to create some normalcy in Brit’s life and wanted visitation restored in a bad way, but it wasn’t meant to be.
Us reports “She desperately wants the kids. She cries about it.” Apparently, K-Fed and even Brit’s parents won’t let Britney talk to the kids on the phone.
As for Jayden and Sean, it seems that Daddy, their grandparents, and nanny don’t talk to them about their mother. “They don’t want to get them riled up. They just keep them focused on activities.”
I think it’s noble of Kevin to realize that every child deserves to have both a father and a mother in their lives.
I’ve raised my own two children myself with a parent who has had issues with depression and substance abuse and to be honest, it’s been a valuable lesson for my kids to learn first hand. Granted, I didn’t place them in the position of getting hurt, but more in the position where they can see what substance abuse does to a person.
In second grade one of my boys made a class craft that included a Christmas wish. His wish was that “daddy wouldn’t drink and do drugs anymore.” I gave that card to their father that year and I really believed it was a turning point in his sobriety.
They learned so much about drugs and abuse from the D.A.R.E. program at school that I didn’t have much to teach them in way of recognizing drugs or the people who use them. Most of what I had to do was make them feel secure in me as their primary parent and my avoidance of drugs and alcohol.
Their father is sober now - 10 years later but to this day, that Christmas wish is still there as a constant reminder to their father that kids do see, they do feel and they do hurt when they watch a parent abuse.
Perhaps that might be the best medicine for Britney. What do you think?

That is noble. I would not be so noble as to want my husband around my kids if he were as neurotic as Britney. I would always be fearful for their safety, even with a case worker in attendance at the visits. Plus, I know how traumatic it is to see your parent and then be expected to say goodbye, after every visitation. I feel for those poor little boys.

I feel the same way. Seeing her incoherent, and obviously out of herself will be disturbing for those kids, and so confusing. I started out being really mad at her selfishness when this whole drama began (can you remember a time when she seemed happy and “normal?”), now I just feel sorry for her.
Wish she’d get some help, if only for the sake of the boys.

This is such a sad situation. My heart just goes out to those boys…They are the ones that suffer in this chaos! I’m just hoping to see some good coming out of this soon.

I don’t know what to believe anymore from all this Brit thing. One day she’s going all crazy and not thinking about the kids, the next she redeems and dies for her children. I don’t believe that she’s sane anymore.
