Part 4: Raw Pain

I wish Brittney would hear your review because I think you’ve got the great mother insights she’s needed her whole life.

Sweet comment. I agree!

[@GurjitKaur-q1g]

So true, she just needed the right parents, husband's, friends, legal advice, etc.

[@neilsun2521]

True. It just amazes me that she never found some people who actually looked out for her. I mean with the amount of connections she must've had -- you'd think someone would've said 'enough of this nonsense!'.

I agree she needed someone who wanted what was going best for Britney, not what was best from them, in her life.

[@kipscathy1850]

As a fellow southerner, that WASPy culture of don’t air dirty laundry and “we don’t talk about those things” - even among ourselves is soooo correct. It produces that smooth gentile surface with sometimes shattered people underneath if no one’s paying attention. Thankfully, my southern family had a more attentive matriarchy - we might not have talked about things in public, but we shored each other up. I’ve seen things go wrong for people with no supports. It’s what gave Faulkner such a field day.

[@merrywalsh2809]

Great comment.

Her mother is such a hypocrite. She gets slaughtered by the press for things like, driving with her son in her lap, regardless of how they, contributed to it. Her mother lectures her, but had her driving a car at 14, and blaming her, when she made her crash it. Britney is flawed, she just needs the right help, and genuine friends, and family around her.

[@ingridmari8301]

You are correct about Allie. That's why she was not long to he around.

[@flyonthewall8122]

Speaking as a fellow Southerner: You're so spot on. Women, like children, should be seen & not heard. Be the backbone of the family, but don't you dare gripe about it. Concerning Lynn, Jamie & Lou Taylor? They NEEDED Britney to be crazy. That way they could gain control...of Britney & her money.

[@merrywalsh2809]

Great insights and logic, as always. This book cries out for just the type of analysis that Cheere is so good at delivering. My wish is that this series, on Cheere’s channel, is viewed far and wide. It can only help Britney.

[@ellenmccain6740]

The title of the book should have been MyLife Surrounded By Jackals. The viciousness heaped on her by all around her is horrifying. I have such empathy for her. Everyone likes to hate on lawyers but this poor woman needed an advocate in the worst way. She was used and abused her entire life.

[@harrietcraig6716]

I never gave a thought about Britney-not once. But the “South Park” episode of her takedown was the single-most physically revolting thing I have ever seen-and I’m including “The Exorcist.” I have a strong stomach. Her autobiography takes my understanding of that episode to a whooooooooole new, empathetic, level. So Unbelievably Sad

[@sharonellingsworth4956]

IMO, I truly believe that Britney's parents were working with Kevin to take those babies away so they could use them to get Britney back in line. To me, that is the only way. Not only did they not help her, but they played an intricate part in hurting her. If Britney, even if she was mentally incapacitated, had the support of her parents, she wouldn't have ever lost her kids to a k-fed. With her money and access to powerful lawyers, she would have had him sign a quick payout, and a iron clad be gone contract. Her parents are evil.

[@sunnyadams5842]

Amen. I grew up with parents like hers. Not, of course, on the same scale! But the result was the same and I can sSO relate!! I was involved with a horrid guy- a Narcissist, I discovered later- and turned to my parents, after 17 years of taking abuse because "They Loved" him They ridiculed me and dismissed me. I went back to the freaky guy one last time and decided to escape on my own and just get away from the whole nest of snakes. When I started to quietly pack away a few things to take with me and clean up what would be left behind, I started to find these little plastic boxes. They were the colors of jelly beans. I kept them in a sandwich baggie. By the time I left I had found 32 of these little trinkets. Since the guy who I was leaving and I weren't talking much at All, I didn't mention them. A few months after I had left in the middle of the night, things settled down enough for me to have some curiosity about something beyond when I could get some sleep, I thought I'd look up what the little plastic jelly bean boxes were. They turned out to be cameras. Fast forward... After investigations were complete, it turned out that my parents and my "boyfriend" and my boyfriend's wife (!)had been raking in the bucks for years. I'd been broadcast for years... 😮

[@Boudicca527]

I thought my mother (I’m glad my mom died) was evil but she never did anything so invasive and degrading as that. My violently abusive narcissist ex-boyfriend turned stalker might have if the technology had existed, he did break into my apartment and take pictures of me in my sleep, in various states of undress because I was in bed. I don’t know for certain but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re on the internet somewhere. I hope you are safe now, around people who love and protect you and that you have found some kind of healing after all the abuse and horrific betrayal you went through.

This is so good! I have never been into Britney Spears but this breaks my heart for her 💔

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

P.S. I am on adderall, but was prescribed as an adult - the extended release changed my life. I slept better, I felt calmer, and realized how much more work I had to do, my entire life, just to focus on anything, without feeling overwhelmed. It took about a month for me to notice the change. It was subtle. I was up and down since childhood, regarding school - this would have made a big difference. It is overprescribed, no doubt. Yes, people abuse the hell out of this drug, but if it works, it shouldn’t make you edgy, shaky, up all night, or hyper focused. It should do the opposite - as it did for me. The instant release version was a nightmare, however, for me. I was a professor, and explained this often to my classes, because I was well aware of how this drug is abused on college campuses etc. so, this is my experience. People need to use their common sense and stop abusing it. Also, it can be used in conjunction with an antidepressant, for depression. It depends on the person. I am also on an anti-depressant, again, prescribed in adulthood. I sought the help, after years of struggling. The combination has been very effective for me, for depression, as can be the protocol, again, depending on the person. I am not making a case for or against any of this; but to offer my own experience. It has been a life saver, for me. But I also agree with your assessment regarding this situation. 100%.

[@Ellisif333]

Her parents don't love her, they never have, that's very clear. The only reason they did anything about her "wilding out" is because they were scared the gravy train would end. That's why they don't like her getting married or anything close to it. Make no mistake, every decision they make is solely to serve themselves, that's why the dramatics. They don't see her as a human being and they don't care about what she is going through, they care about their public image and the money she gives them. Brittney wasn't "disgraceful" to them as long as all her skimpy wardrobes and provocative behavior was done on stage earning money. They only cared when it wasn't lining their pockets. I understand her confusion, she's in a very abusive relationship with her parents, she can't see straight, they just keep her spinning. One minute they approve, next they don't. The only way for her to make sense of that would require her being painfully honest with herself about their nefarious intentions towards her and no child wants to admit that.

[@neilsun2521]

Same. Another book that is supposed to be similar in a surprising and positive way is the Paris Hilton book; her parents locked her in an institution/facility growing up, a very brutal one; and when she finally got out she made her own way in the world very shrewdly. (I'd always assumed she was just a spoilt brat!).

[@ADowney-jh4fk]

I’m sorry but they don’t call a swat team in for her simply not giving her son back. That’s not how it works. She locked herself in the bathroom with him for hours. And it escalated to calling swat after she wouldn’t open the door for anyone including the initial police response. The police at the time said she was acting erratic with her child. I have empathy for her custody battle but I think people are forgetting what we saw live that night. They should have never been allowed to take photos of her in the ambulance though. I can’t believe that was legal. She regularly missed court dates during the custody battle or would walk in and walk right out. There’s pictures of her showing up to one of her court dates in her wedding dress and leaving like 10 minutes later. The conservatorship shouldn’t have happened but she should take way more accountability.

[@cheeredenise]

Yes! I absolutely agree. She needed help but a conservatorship was not help, because it didn’t give her tools to change.

[@chelseathibodeaux7029]

Idk about California but in Louisiana as long as there isn't a custody judgement the police won't get involved as it's a civil matter. If he left the kids with someone then she could call the police and get them but they won't take them from either parent to give to the other. The only thing she could do at that point is to take him to court

[@neilsun2521]

The swat teams were photo ops arranged by her family to show the world: "look everyone, Britney's having another meltdown;, we'd better take over her finances so we can use it to pay off our own debts and vacations and stuff..." most likely. Sick.

[@lee-annbryce97]

Same 🇦🇺👍

[@ariellagoichman3513]

I'm kind of on Lin's side for a small part of these chapters : Seeing Britney come home drunk to her kids must have triggered memories from when her husband would stumble home drunk at nights. Still,Britney sounds so naive not realizing that Paris probably just used her as a way of getting more scandalous headlines - partying with the current "Trainwreck". Also, I remember seeing those headlines at the time and thinking: Sure, Paris can be as wild as she wants. She comes from one of the most powerful families in America, and her parents can cover up all of her messes. Britney and Lindsey however, grew up in underprivileged families with histories of alcoholism, so no wonder they both spiraled after trying to keep up with Paris' wild ways.

[@Pepper0077]

I wish she would have known or know how much women would have genuinely befriended her or guided her. I have two boys and I would have found them. I breastfed both and I am sure I would have physically fought to see them if the courts wouldn’t give me some time. She didn’t seem to try legally. Maybe she couldn’t then. Her family infuriates me. They made this monster out of greed. I remember hearing Whitney Houston had low self-esteem. Can you imagine what these women went through to end up so mentally unwell. Poor hearts. ❤

[@methosimortal]

Loving the reviews of this book. I still don't quite understand why Britney is in this infantalized state of existence, knocking on K-Fed's door and deciding what to do about her custody battle in the car with a friend. Just hire an army of the meanest lawyers You can find and put the fear of God into K-fed. You know that guy would have caved in after 10 seconds. It's really aggravating to see Britney being treated like a doormat. Mostly because she's the one that lays on the floor every time, inviting all these nobodies that are completley dependent on her, to step all over her. It's really not surprising that they managed to force the conservatorship on her. She's not able to stand up for herself.

Happy new year Cheere! This is such a sad set of circumstances she's found herself in. I can see it both ways. That she could have done more to get her kids but it's terrible how depression makes you feel utterly hopeless and without agency. If you recover you look back at that version of you and wonder why you couldn't do more. But that's what that type of illness does to your agency. It is weird that K-fed could just keep the kids. Southern families sound a lot like Asian families. It's all about looking a certain way and not talking. It becomes toxic. Love your coverage as usual. Looking forward to the next one!

The brokenness Britney experienced has broken my heart and brought me to tears many times. I have so much rage against her parents, Jamie Lynn, Kevin, Justin, the paparazzi (for her - not Harry), Sarah Silverman. No one cares about her as a person and it makes my blood boil. Sure, she's made some unhealthy choices, but if youve NEVER seen healthy behavior, how would she know how to behave in healthy way? My heart is just so broken for her. She is searching for something and has been her whole life. That fulfilment, healing, joy only comes from Jesus and I'm praying so hard she finds him - the real him - not the Southern churchy gossipy fake Jesus culture.

Psychiatrists have a tendency to use uppers and downers depending on the time of day which causes a chemical bipolar response even in people not diagnosed as bipolar. I have bipolar disorder and that's a med regime my doctor had me on. Ritalin/Adderall in the morning, xanax to bring me down a little around dinner time then Ambien to knock me out, It only made me worse. Believe me when I say that benzodiazepines and stimulants are just heroin and cocaine in bottles and even harder to get off of. I got clean and only needed one mood stabillizer and a million NA meetings.

I have bipolar and mainly manage that with lithium although I occasionally use Adderall if I get bad enough that it's impossible, it helps me a lot though I can't take it regulary because it causes my mood to go up too much.

[@lauralarrabee7870]

Everyone has dark times I feel Britney was isolated that is why when Kevin held her, the bar was set so low for a man in her life. All youngsters test their limits in their 20s it’s a part of growing up. Sadly the people there from the beginning were toxic. Jamie Spears is no example for anyone to live their life. Thank goodness for the nurse who prompted Britney to think critically. I think Paris was trying to be kind but being mindless and being Mom isn’t the best combo. Had she done a tour in Africa or worked with single mom charities I think that would have given Britney proper perspective.

Dear Brittany, Alcohol IS a drug ! It can be fatal. I say this as a woman whose husband died of alcoholic cirrhosis.

And he only drank beer, never hard liquor. Beer is a drug and the abuse of it can be fatal.

The story about kevin keeping children away doesnt make sense from just Britneys point of view. There would be courts and attorneys she could have worked with if he was truly doing something in violation of a custody agreement. Her perspective is skewed so we have to take it all with a grain of salt. No judge is going to be okay with a 5 month old baby being kept from the mother without cause. There wasnt a mental health assessment done? I think we are missing facts in her version.

[@fabulousnewt770]

Being bought up by and then marrying a narcissist can really do a number on you. I think one day Britney will ask this of herself. They Rob you of yourself, your values, your centre core. They are vampires. They make you into nothing and make you believe they know best. Far greater minds than young Britney have been ruined by the actions of narcs. My mother is a narc. I'm 60 and still learning not to analyse what happened to me. Nothing to be done now. No place to go except forward..hoping, hoping she won't live much longer than her 93 years so I can be free for a while. It's a life sentence with one narc in the family. Britney was on overload. I know its not normal to hope your mother dies soon. I didn't wish it when she was younger, but now she is very old, self preservation sets in. It's like a battle for your soul. Narcissists are evil. They only pick on empathy, hence Lynn not challenging the younger daughter. They pick their prey. They are bullying cowards. Loving a narc is brutal. Seeking approval for someone who will never care no matter what you do, and when you do what they want they move the goalposts again.

[@amylin5062]

Exactly!! Like, she couldn’t call her lawyers? Her agents? Paris Hilton? (I kid) NOBODY could help her get her kids?? I don’t trust that her parents would’ve really helped - they seemed to have been doing everything to keep her crazy so they could have control over her money.

I am so happy you bought up the issue of how dangerous alcohol is Cheere. Only last night my son, daughter-in-law and I were talking about the dangers of alcohol and how many lives it destroys and how many lives it takes. The 3 of us do not drink at all and most definitely don’t ever do drugs, but we were just chatting how many people actually drink every single night and think nothing of it. What all these people don’t realise is every one of those drinks are slowly killing your organs, you might not feel the damage until later in life (meaning people who drink mildly, but every night) and by later in life, I actually mean as young as in your 50’s and 60’s I don’t mean in your 90’s, I mean when you are still young, people start to have a lot of health issues that can be traced back to all the alcohol they have slowly yet steadily drank over the years. Not to forget how many families break up because of alcohol, domestic violence that occurs while people are drunk, the road toll due to drink drivers, the list goes on and on, yet, there is no restriction on alcohol. The 3 of us just couldn’t understand it. Alcohol is a drug!!

When you truly think about it, Britney is honestly one of the strongest person, not many people could survive half of what Britney has. I don’t think I could of been as strong as she is. I pray with all my heart that Britney finds true peace one day, hopefully extremely soon ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Thank you so much for taking us through these books - I'm able to listen to you while doing landscaping. I'd be interested in anything you are prepared to tell us about your life - its always nice to know about the people one likes to spend time with. 🙂

Your analysis brings up so many great points. I so glad you did this book!

I watched the British version of I’m a celebrity get me out of here this winter featuring Brittany’s sister who left the show after only a week or so and cried non stop the first three or four days because she was separated from her daughters, one of whom is 15. I mean I had to think of poor Brittany when you described how Kevin had her babies. I mean her sister was being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be apart from her kids through choice to be in a reality tv show. She just kept saying how much she loved her sister and every family fights…..

That poor, poor woman. She is a prime example of learned helplessness. It's so hard to believe that she wouldn't be able to stand up for herself or for her kids, but everybody did her dirty all the time. The whole narrative could have been so different. I feel for her and, I hope, everybody involved in this will get their comeuppance one day.

This story is heartbreaking. 😢😢

My heart absolutely breaks for Britney.

Being a ‘people pleaser’ isn’t as innocuous on one’s life as some may think. Over 20yrs ago I read the book The Disease To Please (I’m sure there are gazillions of similar) Oof it was a tough read at the time but I realized the power of saying No. If the price of nice is too *anything* take a breath, be truthful & just say No. Oh…& always with kindness❣️

I watched the paparazzi follow Britney. They followed her to the hair salon and asked for her head to be shaved. I'd watched them every evening. It was sad watching her fall apart. She needed help. I didn't know anything about her father so I was glad he would be helping her.

Photos are worth money, I am sure Alli is getting a percentage.

[@Candy-O1776]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@colleenbrown3366]

What court would award those babies to THAT father? Something was up... Also, they're all living on her dime, I wish she would have thought to cut off the cash flow to get them back in order. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz...she had all the power all along.

It's common in many cultures in America to present a false image to the public.

[@Nat-lg2ks]

Jada Smith and Demi Moore shaved their heads from memory, i dont recall much media fuss about it. I think Brittany seemed to get the short straw

[@sherrywinston8885]

The first thing i do is hit the like button. I always love to listen to your impersonations.

[@christineparckys3326]

You’re a riot! I agree with everything you say. Loving this book. My heart bleeds for Brittney.

[@gabbyb4493]

Obviously Britney came from a family full of narcissists and that gene skipped her! My god that girl had no idea what love was, because she had never truly experienced it growing up. Other than her grandmother and her mother made sure to end that relationship!

[@Pepper0077]

She had to expose herself, but not expose herself. Got it!

[@rinid3125]

It's so hard to hear everything Brittany went through. I am also embarrassed to say that I was one of those people who thought she was crazy. One of the radio shows I used to listen to in those days, did a whole parody of her Umbrella incident. At the time, I loved the bit so much and laughed so hard at it. Now, I look back and realize that I and so many others were part of the problem. It's so sad.

[@suzeeq3704]

Thank you & happy new year

[@user-cg9sj2ry9r]

This chapter is shocking as you say - hard to believe that NO ONE stood up for her?? Very, very sad. And as always, love this channel.😄 Happy New Year Cheere.
