Britney Spears admits: “My father saved my life.”

Aloha~although I don’t really keep up with the media/entertainment world, I wanted to send this comment from my heart. I read two short paragraphs about Brittney and that her dad helped her out. I feel (as a parent) that Mr. Spears helped his daughter out of love for his child. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter who/what/how much $, when it comes to love for a child, wholly as a person, a parent will do anything to make sure that child will survive. There is enough evil in this world as is, we don’t have to ADD to it. Let us LOVE one another, and encourage each other, no matter what the sacrifice. I believe Brittney has talent, and pray that she will find her higher purpose, for love of her own children and those that still consider her a role model. There is definitely a greater need for leadership amongst our youth, and people (lost or caught up somehow); Brittney should share her message of hope and family and work hard to keep that LIGHT inside shine on!
GOD BLESS YOU BRITTNEY~Take Care Girl.

I believe more parents should step in and step up and be parents. Yes, their kids may be older, but if they do not have family to lean on who do they have? Jamie Spears earned my respect when he stepped up to the plate and helped his daughter regain control of her life. It was obvious she needed help and who better than family to provide it. This family has some of the same issues many families do today. One of the main ones is that their children grew up too quickly and now the parents must step up and teach the kids things they would have learned if they had been kids longer. This family needs to be left alone to deal with their issues. Yes, they are in the public eye, but the media has gone too far.

Bravo Mr.Spears and Brittany I’m glad to see you are getting it together.

I think it for the money and being a good dad but it stupid for him to give up his life and quit his job to help his daughter out I see helping her out but not quit his, I like into it like this she got herself into this mess she can get herself out of it. I have kids and I’ll do anything for them but not quit my job.

I’m just glad that somebody stepped in to help Britney, she like many other people, deserves a second chance in life. It’s sad though to think that we have become a very suspicious people, such that a person would rather end up in the gutter because no one will help for fear of having their motives questioned. Everyone always has a motive even those without motives have motives. His motive was to see his daughter well and succeeding. Is that so wrong? And besides he did what all of us should be doing looking out for each other, whether we like it or not we are our brother’s keepers.The people that should have their motives questioned are those people that have been by her side watching her self-distruct and did nothing about it, not her Dad. I wish her the best with her new life and hope she has learnt whatever lessons she could learn from this episode, if she ever finds herself in the same predicament I do hope that her father will continue to be by her side and help her pick up the pieces again – because that is what love will do. She says her father saved her life, is that not enough?? what more did people want out of this??

What’s a job when your child is suffering? I believe that Britney’s father did what any loving,caring parent would do. He took steps to save his daughter. I have two daughters and would do the same even if it meant living in poverty. It’s a shame what Samuel Sr. wrote. I just pray for those cold heartless individuals.

What a wonderful father to be there for his daughter. You love your children unconditionaly and will always do what it takes to protect and care for them. I also have given up my job and put my life on hold for my daughter in the last 6 months. It was never to be a decision, only a choice to be there for her. My daughter had tried to commit suicide because of cruel bullying at school.

Britney’s dad had the luxury of enough money so that he could quit his job and help fix his daughter. I think no matter what she is still his little girl, even if part of his motivation was to increase her future earning potential, he stepped up to the plate.

Also keep in mind, his grandchildren were at risk too. Falling apart was not just hurting herself, but her kids too. Sometimes the not great parent realizes that his mistakes are not going to haunt just his daughter but his grandchildren and they do what they can to make up for it.

I say whatever Britney’s Dad’s motives were, none of us should judge that, what is most important is that he stepped up to the plate when it mattered and saved his daughter and his grandchildren’s future. I don’t follow celebrity lives, really don’t think its my business, but once in a while a person steps up to the plate and proves that perfection is the not the goal, best we can is all we can do and in this case he is lucky it worked.

There are plenty of parents out there who ended up mourning their children because they either ignored the symptoms, went into denial about the situation or just plain said “Its your problem your an adult” and in my opinion any parent who doesn’t have to go through that because they faced up to the problem is a model for other parents to hopefully prevent another such loss. (I know some parents in the scenario above and know no matter what they didn’t deserve to lose their child)

I just hope those that put criticized Britney and her family, never have to be in a situation to choose their job or saving their child’s life. NO one should have to make that choice, but I’m glad Britney’s dad made the right choice and he can live with himself for doing what he felft was right(and he is lucky it worked).

He did the right thing. I believe he acted as a loving Dad.

I agree with so many of you….It was just something he had to do. Louise said ” It was never to be a decision, only a choice to be there for her” (she was talking about her own daughter but I think it holds true for him). And I think…NO, I know that what ever the circumstances finacially it would put me in, I would do the same for my child. Why is it when you do something nice for a wealthy person, people think it’s for finacial gain?

I would quit my job if I could, anytime, to help my children or family member

I think that the reason why Mr.Spears stepped up for his daughter Britney is less important. The fact that he DID do it is important coz thats what parents do for their kids. If any good is going to result from our actions as parents, we should do it.
