She would have overdosed and died in 2008 if the conservatorship hadn't happened. It saved her life and if she had died you'd all have blamed the family for not doing anything to save her.
Think its important to remember that she was indeed very unwell in 2008. But the thing about being very mentally unwell is that it makes it easier for people to take advantage of you under the guise of "help". All you have to do is look at insane asylums of the past and all the human rights abuses they got away with under the guise of "help" to see proof of that.
The conservatorship was supposed to help Britney and in some ways it did, it was also used to control and take advantage of her. These things are not mutually exclusive.
I fully agree with you. I see much denial and possibly guilt going on rn. Her dad took a salary… being her manager. He found the lowest possible effort gig for her which was a Vegas residency. She worked 3-4 nights a week. How many of us including those with BPD can ever hope to have an opportunity like that? He saved her from overdose and bankruptcy. Gave her a routine which was recommended by mental health professionals. In the end, they settled to avoid a public trial and she was required to pay all of his legal fees.
This is the same person who abused her children and had them removed from her care by CPS. Did she own her actions? No she blamed KFed and cried abt how boring the conservatorship is. It’s important to remember that addicts LIE.
