Mom to mom: Britney Spears, if you are reading this…

You are on the verge of another major comeback. With the upcoming release of your newest album, “Circus,” on Dec. 2, a succession of interviews, appearances and an MTV documentary, the world is waiting with baited breath to see how you will handle it this time around. With the merciless media scrutiny you’ve been subjected to in the past couple years, the swirling rumors around your mental stability and the way in which you voluntarily gave up custody of your two young boys, let’s face it, you have a lot of ground to make up.

No one but you can relate to what it is like to be engulfed into colossal stardom at the age of 16 and endure a decade of having every move watched, every action documented and every word twisted. That is something that no one should ever have to accept, but unfortunately, it comes with the territory of being a pop icon. You’re undoubtedly accustomed to the relentless paparazzi and the vicious criticism when it comes to you, but when it comes to your kids…Oh Britney, the kids.
I have never purchased any of your albums, followed your career or related to you in any way other than the fact that we have one single thing in common – we are both moms. I know nothing about your kids' home life, but I can only hope that they are surrounded by people who truly love them and put their best interest at heart at all times. When I hear stories about them staying up all hours of the night, using swears regularly (they’re 3 and 2!) and the tumultuous surroundings of their young lives, I think about my own children and the lengths I would go to protect them from any harm.
You have the kind of money that very few people will ever see in their lifetimes. You could shower your kids with new toys every day and hire enough help so that you would never have to do any dirty work, but what they need is a mom who is happy, a mom who is healthy and a mom who is there. I hope you are surrounding yourself with authentic people. I hope you are getting whatever help you need to continually improve yourself. I hope you are ridding yourself of demons of the past and looking ahead with optimism for the future. I hope you are being true to yourself. And for your sons’ sake, I hope you really are back.
