Will losing her kids make a difference?
I must say that despite all that I've been hearing in the news, on the television programs and seeing on the Internet, even indirectly (because after a while I got sick of that mess) I felt bad for Briney Spears when I heard that she lost custody of her children, no mother wants that to ever happen no matter what.
In the case of Britney however, her life had become such a debacle, we all saw this coming and I wonder if she didn't? She lost her kids because she didn't follow the instructions of the judge. She was ordered to take drugs and alcohol tests and to get a California driver's license, she didn't do any of those. The judge was also told that she had never done any of the previous things the courts requested of her, such as the random drugs and alcohol tests. The judge did the only thing he could, he gave full custody of her two sons to their dad, Kevin Federline. Now whether or not that was a good thing, because he himself has issues that have been all over the news, but at least his actions aren't as bad, and the kids are with a parent!
As a celebrity many people feel that she was getting away with 'murder' because of the way in which she endangered the lives of her children and nothing, was done about it until it was almost too late. I for one didn't know that she didn't have a driver's license! How could she have been driving around with her two children and not be a licensed driver? Wouldn't that be the first thing a responsible person would do?
If it were me or you and we got stopped by the police, no license, what would have happened? Perhaps a warning if you're lucky, if you only forgot to take it with you. But if you had to show up and produce the license and didn't, would we have been in serious trouble? Yes!
Then there's the matter of her erratic behavior, would you go shave the hair off your head, just like that and then wear wigs to cover it up? Would you even do it yourself? I could understand it if she had had her hair trimmed really short, or, OK, shaved as it was, then sport her new look and affirm that possibly this is the start to a new enlightenment for her, shedding the past, getting rid of her baggage (so to speak) and finding some sort of renewal, or something like that! It would still have had us all second guessing her actions, perhaps looking at it as a bit drastic, but we could no doubt understand! What did she do Instead? She donned wigs of all sorts, got a tattoo, went partying all night, exposing herself, in all sorts of way, and knowing that the paparazzi would be there to document it all? How could this be the actions of a sane person?
She didn't seem to want to change her habits, she kept going where she knew she would be seen, acting out in such a way that I wondered if she hadn't had a chance to experience her wild teen years? Or was that her way of celebrating her freedom from her marriage?! Well, I could certainly think of better ways to do that if it were me! While there is nothing wrong with going out and having fun, with or without your friends, the manner in which she did it all, was definitely a cry for help.
Although she wasn't required to give the children to her ex-husband until tomorrow, she already did it and went to a hotel to stay. It looks like she couldn't wait to be free of the responsibility, but again, as a mom, she might just be trying to save them as much as herself, now before it's too late.
Heavens know if she will work at getting herself together, for the sake of herself, and especially for her children. I hope that by the judge taking these actions, that this will be her wake up call before she becomes a casualty of her actions.
