It may be controversial, but I just don't think it is that simple in this case with how women are treated and abused in that family. Brit is entitled to her own feelings, and she lived through this. She is more than welcomed. There's a lot she still needs to unpack, and the dynamic she and Jamie Lynn have is complicated as well. I just hope one day, she can be open to the fact that Jamie was abused and silenced by her family, too. The same family that did it to Brit. So I can see why she would just do as she was told or believe her parents. That's what she was raised to do.

I hope they can come together in the future bc they were very close. The love is still there, but the trust must be rebuilt, and that doesn't always happen.

It's not controversial at all. You're right. With family systems, each person plays a specific role. When it comes to abusive families, each person finds a way to cope to survive the family system. It's always nuanced and complex. There's this concept called multifinality where in this case, two people got exposed to the same environment, but both ended up in different outcomes, with Britney being the abused one and trying to heal, and Jamie who was also abused but is probably (I'm assuming) not healing

Whaatttt! Wow her mom wrote that I her book!

[jesuisjuan]

Yeah, she shared that back in 2008. I'm reading more stuff, and it seems like Britney's paternal grandfather, sent both his first and second wife to an asylum. That is WILD. Britney's dad knew what the fuck he was doing.

Britney confirms she was having sex at 14 in her book, too, but her mom broke the news.

It also seems like Jamie Lynn wanted to pitch in a sister TV show. It's clear that the love among the family is only ever transactional. Britney should really put big boundaries.

Pretty much everyone in her family sucks. It does say something when people on the outside voiced more concern for Britney than her own family.

She's still currently trash.

Edit: found a better image

She posted this yesterday. Kramer's book comes out the same day as Britney's.

That Ted-Cruz-faced, cat-murdering piece of shit.

[thereinventions]

She killed a cat?! OMG!!!

[jesuisjuan]

Honestly, as someone who comes from a narcissistic family (my mom is financially abusive, and I'm the scapegoat with my sisters both bashing me), I feel for her, and I have hope for the both of us. I look forward to reading her book.

In Britney's shoes, I couldn't view Jamie Lynn quite as my family anymore - left her to rot? Milked for a beach condo? No gratitude for a lifetime of ease and opportunity? Remorselessly pressuring Britney to accept being imprisoned? It's a lot of relationship-severing stances.

Keeping distance from toxic family is necessary, but a lot of people have nice enough families that they can't relate to what it's like to not genuinely have that love and support (who knew?🤭). I see a lot of criticism about Britney burning bridges, especially about Lynn and Jamie Lynn, as if these fences could be mended. She forever can't trust her parents or siblings, possibly all her exes and her management, the legal system, doctors, etc. When you can't trust someone, you have to keep distance... Britney's family chose that. And as per usual, Britney's stuck with the bill.

Yeah I feel like this extends to every person in her life who wants to force her to reconcile with her dad. How can anyone can look at what she's been through and ask her for that?

[genbu_no_miko24]

For me it's just how she really didn't help her sister. She was 17 when Britney was placed in the c-ship so you could give her some grace cause she's still young and she's got emotional issues with how her parents handled her pregnancy. But Jamie Lynn was 30 when Britney got out of it.

In those 13 years, nothing bit at her conscious knowing that Britney said "I think they wanna kill me" and her overall desperation to be heard. You continuously benefit from Britney being forced to work cause who's paying for that condo. She's been able to have a regular-ish life with a tv career, gotten married and have more kids all while knowing that Britney is not allowed to do that and is stuck in a nightmare-ish situation.

I can acknowledge that both JL and Britney were raised in an abusive family and I sympathies for certain aspect of JL's life but I also acknowledge that her silent was also complicit behavior.

Not to mention that whole fiasco where Jamie told Brit she was being bullied/mistreated on Zoey 101 and Brit yelled at Alexa Nikolas because of it. Didn't Jamie also shit talk her in her book?

Jamie's shown she's not trust worthy at all. I don't blame Brit at all for not trusting people after what her family has done personally and orchestrated others to do to her.
