Britney Spears is once again opening up about the deep wounds left by the people who were supposed to love her most — her own family. In a new Instagram post, she shares a raw, vulnerable reflection on connection, isolation, survival, and the fear that still lingers.
She writes: “As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone … 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.”
Britney continues with a truth that lands heavy: “We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget. Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial!!! 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.”
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
She then turns to faith, questioning what the universe is trying to tell her: “It’s weird how God works in mysterious ways… My friends, what do you think he is saying today??? Because to be totally honest with you, no matter what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did.”

To my dear sweet innocent family…”
