Deena Manion PsyD, LCSW and Chief Clinical Officer of Westwind Recovery spoke to Nicki Swift exclusively about how Britney Spears’ relationship with her sons can heal. “Between divorce and reports of alleged substance use, mental health issues, and simply being in the public eye can be the cause of a lot of the issues the family and Britney are struggling with,” Manion explained, noting that these issues were “bound to have taken a toll on the kids growing up.” (In 2007, People reported a judge ruled Spears was a “habitual, frequent and a continuous user of controlled substances and alcohol.” But as more is known about the conservatorship, some might question these past allegations.)
“It is hard to know what goes on behind closed doors in any family,” Manion noted, adding that therapy is probably necessary. “Family therapy is indicated to work on ruptures in the relationship, allow the boys a safe space to voice their issues, and have the parents co-parent.” In addition, Manion indicated Kevin Federline “should not be bad-mouthing the mother of his kids in the public sphere.” She added, “Kevin and Britney both need to come to the table” to figure out their roles. Manion mentioned that a parenting coach could help them, and that Spears posting “bizarre videos on social media” isn’t helping the situation.
All in all, it sounds like Spears and Federline will have to work together to heal their family.
