“Oops! …I Did It Again”

Did you see the news?

I am sad to report, for Britney Spears and her children, that she has filed for divorce stating that her marriage has “irreconcilable differences”.

It was just this past June that Spears, pregnant with her second child, did an interview with Matt Lauer on Dateline NBC to try to dispel the myth that her marriage was in trouble. She wanted you to believe her marriage was awesome, understandably. At that time Spears was in denial, and no one can blame her for being there when she was pregnant. It is part of the human emotional-survival response. I do not judge her for it.

Sadly, however, when Spears did that interview, I could clearly see the denial. Britney was trying to soothe herself. She wanted to believe her marriage would make it, though in her heart, clearly before her, she was struggling with the reality–pushing it away.

I truly wish Britney Spears, and her family all the best in finding true happiness.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t see all the things I see. It’s painful to secretly carry, and face the pains other can’t (in my private life), yet it is relief when they face the truth and move on–because that is a huge positive step. For when we face the truth, it is the first opportunity we have to seek out, and find true happiness.
