Or else everything will go downhill from here (even more). I totally agree - she is very sick and needs to get some sort of help quick… Or else everything will go downhill from here (even more).

Come on people serriously! Think about it, Britney is a highly profiled young woman whos life has been almost destroyed by the media. I just want people to think right now (the people that are reading this of course) to think of of yourself..If you were as famous and rich as Britney and had so much media attention as her could you handle it? The woman just had 2 kids battled a bad marriage ect..and you all critisize her, its pathetic and the most inconsiderate thing I have ever heard. on the VMA's Britney performed and received alot of negitive feedback. Sure she was not as skinny as she was or was not a prepared as she use to be but she was there and did the show! Why can't people see her as a woman that is trying to overcome alot of personal issues and get through situations which may be really hard. If my neighbour for example had 2 kids..then a little while later got divorced and had problems with her parents/family/friends/ex husbad would people in my town judge her and critisize her? Prob not..People who deal with issues like that are usually looked upon as a strong person and someone who looks up to the postive things in life; but in Britney's case she is harssed, annoyed, critisized romours had been made up about her. Just leave her alone. How would you like your life to be broadcasted to the whole world, your life being picked apart and every step you take judged by your parents, your teacher, your boss, your co-workers, your neighbour, the stranger down the street and worse off..youself. I mean how would you like your fight or disagreement or what you had for dinner and how many drink you drank being told in a nationally acqired magazine? What about a pimple you had on your cheek one day being laughed at by the entertainment news? I am not famous and to be honest I do not want to be, I just wish people would get a life and quite talking down people they do not know (or are jelous of) celebrites are just like you and I..except their lives are invated by people that can't do anything better with themselves!

If everyone could just "get themselves together and clean up their act" there would be no need for meds or psychiatric hospitals. As for someone's parental rights being taken away. especially when it is the mom in question - well that is not an easy task! Your statement that if she was a regular mom her children would be taken away is simply not true. I would venture a guess that the most of the drugs she has abused are prescription and she is theoretically not breaking the law. I agree with you on one pt - a mother should do anything to make her children's lives better - but when they fail to do so someone really should look into the underlying causes - because it's just not "normal". I just hope for her and her children's sake her family intervenes. Dear Dee,

I'm sorry about your childhood but I don't think you can compare your Dad's medical condition to Britney's petulant self destructive behavior. If she was a regular mom her kids would have been taken away from her a long time ago and rightfully so. ebayer, as a parent I would say she owes it to her children to clean up her act.

You would think someone who knows her would come forward and state what is obvious to the rest of us, so that the world at large would leave her be. The fact that no one has does give cause to ponder. That is a valid point ebayer, and I can’t really argue with any of it.

You say that you have no doubt that she may be insane but then you continue to call her selfish and ignorant. I have had three very close people in my life that are mentally ill. Two are manic depressive - one is actually my dad and the other is schizophrenic. These people live in different worlds and rarely think they have a problem when they are in the thick of it.....as for actively seeking help:) Well many of these people get off on the highs and lows, riding the wave of the illness. I suspicion the problems she has are long standing and have been medicated to keep the cash pony on target. Many of these people also self medicate to keep the sadness at bay. Her parents I am sure saw many warning signs and failed to help her when they could have (pre marriages and children - when the going was good). Sending her on the road with minders from the time she was a young teenager is NOT active parenting. You don't see them making the same mistakes with Jamie Lynne. Her mom is with her every day (oh yeah and taking her to Pure in Las Vegas when she is only 16! But we'll let that one go....) but at least she is there. At the end of the day all of this is about money and it makes me sick. Her family, if they truly loved her would stop at nothing to get her the help that she needs and if they are so fearful for the health and wellbeing of those kids then someone needs to file for sole custody. NOT 70/30. My Dad had some serious issues. Did he do crazy things? Sure. Was our childhood easy? No. Would we be happy to have seen him stop breathing NEVER! Years later - after we were grown he found the help he needed and he is medicated and NOT THE SAME PERSON. In fact he remembers very little from his breakdowns - and he's a wonderful Grandpa. This is a girl that truly needs help - not public ridicule and derision. People really need to stop pushing her into an open grave You still miss the mark with this girl.

All I see is a young mother, all be it with bad hair, lovingly protecting her child. I am unclear as to why you believe Britney looks disturbed in this video.
