Britney's Free, Bitch.

[rogueslayer452]

Britney Spears conservatorship has officially ended! Both of her person and of her estate. I am so beyond happy with this news. I hope that she sues the fuck out of her family and anyone else associated with her conservatorship that were leeching off of her for years.

With that being said however, I hope that this doesn't stop people from caring about this issue because conservatorship abuse is still a massive problem. Britney's situation was unique because of her massive star power and how it gained a lot of attention quite quickly over the last year and some, but it has also shed light on the invisible abuse that still happens regardless, whether it be celebrities or just your average everyday person. It's horrible, and I hope that people don't forget about it just because Britney has finally been freed from those shackles.

Because it's far more "romantic" to be the caregiver of someone with disabilities or mental health issues. Obviously I say this sarcastically, but sadly there does seem to be that mentality. :/

It's wrong.

THIS, yes. Omg.
I find that kind of thing really self-congratulatory and kind of creepy, like they're battening off someone's inability to do X and puffing themselves up for helping person do X and *not minding*. Or whatever.

Yuck.

Good luck to Ms Spears, I say, and I hope she enjoys the hell out of herself.

That mentality is so disgusting and dehumanizing, and it's sad that it's so common. :/
