Britney Spears Has Always Been My Favourite; Now She Is An Empowering Example of How One Can Escape Family Violence


 I grew up with Britney Spears's music and I was a big fan most of my childhood. She is still a favourite of mine as an adult but I've come to love her more over recent years with the Free Britney movement and now this explosive memoir has made fans get excited once again. She is a music icon, an advocate for mental illness awareness and a powerful figure who has raised awareness of both the atrocity of conservatorships in America and Family Violence.

I have followed Britney's journey in standing up to her abusive father and sister. I have a lot in common with Britney Spears and I've come to admire her more. People have been quite sexist towards her as well with many women even trying to stereotype her as a dumb blonde. She is nothing of the sort and people really don't know her deep down because most of what we see is a carefully orchestrated image designed by the music industry.

There would be parts of her choosing but most of her stage persona has been orchestrated to make her a femme fatale because music record producers think that sells. They even trained her to change her voice. Initially, Britney was trying to get into musical Broadway and she had a similar type of voice to Christina Aguilera and got her to change it to a higher girlier voice because they thought her voice-sounding girlier would sell more records.

It's no secret that Britney Spears is an enigma but she has definitely done a lot to raise awareness of multiple important issues today I am going to focus on how she has raised awareness of family violence. I saw a doco about her once when she was fighting the conservatorship and the way people in her hometown talked about her family was atrocious. They talked about her like her family was always kind to her like fame and fortune is what changed her. They talked as if money and fame corrupt everyone and were all powerless against it which is not true.

Money is a resource and an energy exchange, it can't change people. I think that people who get corrupted by money and fame deep down are superficial and they use the money they get to make them immune to other's judgement of them. The trouble was that Britney's family decided to exploit her instead of truly supporting her. Britney has stood up to family members of hers unapologetically and fought for her freedom. It has been a very public fight. I look forward to reading more about her journey. I think her new book The Woman In Me will resonate deeply.

My Take On The It Ends With Us Controversy

Image
  https://youtu.be/JRCqbxTsU60?si=tKY1uRVdmq6rcDZH Hi Dragonflies, I read It Ends With Us a week before the movie came out and it was recommended to me by my friend Gurpreet Dhariwal who has been a huge support for me when it comes to Walk Everyday May. I read the book and I enjoyed it. For me, I felt like the telling of the story between Ryle and Lily was more about seeing the relationship via the victim's eyes and that the victim was in love. When you see this kind of relationship through the eyes of others it looks very different. But I also agree with the critiques of this book and film. I saw the movie and it was ok, but I felt it didn't carry as much emotional weight as the book. I was also surprised when people I knew who weren't that interested in the topic of DV were very interested in seeing this movie. It actually made me angry that these people wanted to watch this movie because I felt like the fact that they were excited to see this film was a little insulting,...

What Is UNCRC and why will I be writing a series of blog entries on this topic?

 Hi Dragonflies, I've currently been studying childcare and some of the stuff I stumble upon has inspired me with this blog. The UNCRC stands for the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child.  The purpose of the United Nation’s Convention of the Rights of Children outlines the rights of children in international law and it includes 54 points that cover all parts of a child’s life to ensure all children receive equal care, attention and access to political, economic, social and cultural needs that they deserve. The reason I relate to this document is because this blog is all about human rights and children's rights are human rights. I write this blog to expose the people that trample intentionally on the rights of others and I relate it to my own experience of childhood trauma and encountering other abusive people in my adult life. It's not just certain family members I have come across who are abusive but also people I'm not related to. Of course, I won'...

A Narcissist Grieving Over A Parent Is Twice as Dangerous

Image
  Hi Dragonflies, If you have experienced what I have learnt recently than this blog entry will resonate with you the most. Personally I have noticed my father getting worse. What I didn't realise was that even though this was not my Grandmother's intention and that she was just trying to be a good mother, she unknowingly became a source of narcissistic supply to my father. My father would continue to have an obsession with me while my Grannie was alive and my Grannie would often leave notes at my house(when I lived in the old unit) or text messages(before I changed my number) to get me to talk to my father which I would always ignore. My father can easily get on other peoples nerves but he is not really much of a danger to others except myself. Well usually. This time is different.  For many years my father could not get in contact with me unless I made contact myself and for 2 years I didn't hear from him because I made it impossible for him to contact me. When my Grannie...
