Britney Spears is getting back on track with her sons, Sean and Jayden Federline, but she's not ready to forgive and forget her other family members – especially her parents – a source exclusively tells In Touch, who says she's feeling horribly conflicted over how she should handle the situation and much more stressed about it than she's letting on.
The singer, 43, recently reunited with Jayden, 18, who she shares with ex Kevin Federline, in November. Last year, the two boys "consented" to moving to Hawaii with their father, according to Kevin's attorney, meaning linking back up with mom in Los Angeles is rare, but definitely a sign that they're on solid terms now.
Though the same can't be said for Britney and her parents, especially father Jamie Spears, who the pop star accused of "conservatorship abuse" in September 2021, after a two-year legal battle to have the controversial conservatorship moved to her long time care manager.
In a deposition, she gave a horrifying account of a conspiracy by the people around her to force her into mental institutions and rehabs, recommend drugs to keep her docile and unable to "even stand up for [herself]," and control and violate her privacy 24/7. Britney ultimately told the judge that her father and coconspirators "should be in jail" for what they had done to her.
Jamie, 72, has denied allegations that he's harmed his daughter, insisting that his role as her conservator was for her own good, telling The Mail on Sunday, "I don't know if she'd be alive," without the conservatorship, in December 2022.
Despite everything Jamie put her through, the source says that, "in a perfect world, Britney would love nothing more than to make peace with her parents." But the pain is still sharp, and "it's not that simple, because she's still carrying a lot of anger towards them both, but especially her dad."
While forgiveness for her dad may be out of the question for now, "she goes back and forth on whether she can forgive her mom." Unlike her father, who's been iced out, Britney "does talk to her, and she has had some visits with her, but it's pretty sporadic."
"But as far as her dad is concerned, she's still totally closed off," the source confirms. "She has so much trauma from her years under his control and blames him for a lot of her issues. It's especially hard because her sons are still very close to their grandpa and no doubt would like to see her forgive him.
"He's a pretty sad old man and at this point it seems like he'll probably go to his grave with Britney hating him," the source says. "For his part, he feels pretty misunderstood, and still insists that he did what he had to do to save her life."
"It's all very sad and definitely causes a whole lot of anguish for Britney, but she's still at a point where she's convinced that she can't trust him, or her mom."
