Britney Spears recently used an Instagram post as her journal to process her feelings about family, fear, and what she says still haunts her years after her conservatorship ended. In the post, Spears paired her words with a soft, symbolic photo of a baby’s hand holding an adult finger.
However, the caption didn’t match that calm image. Instead, the singer wrote about isolation and the lasting damage she says it caused, with the comments on the post appearing to be turned off, keeping the message as a one-sided confession to her followers.
Britney Spears opens up about her family’s treatment towards her in new post
Reflecting on family, Britney Spears wrote in her Instagram post, “As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone.” She went on to address families who claim they are helping while cutting someone off, writing, “For those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you and make you feel unbelievably left out … they were wrong.”
The pop icon didn’t stop there. She added, “I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them.” Moreover, she questioned faith and accountability, admitting, “Because to be totally honest with you, no matter what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did.”
The post comes in the aftermath of Spears’ long and bitter conservatorship, which lasted 13 years and ended in 2021. But even with the heavy topic, Spears ended on a personal note, sharing a small slice of daily life as she wrote, “So I’ve made cheesecake ? today and I must say it’s pretty damn good … my neighbor joined me with milk !!!” She ended the message, writing, “PS I haven’t danced in a month because I broke my toe twice!”
The post showed a familiar pattern for Britney Spears, who has witnessed raw pain because of her family — but the message underneath said she survived it, and she remembers it all.
