As a mother, would you offer to help Britney?
I just finished reading this article on People.com about how Heidi Klum is the latest celebrity who thinks that they can help save Britney Spears, and to be honest, I have mixed opinions about it. Now to be fair, I'll admit that I've watched the events of Britney's life unfold over the past year with a mixture of horror and fascination. There is a voyeuristic side to me that can't quite look away, yet as a mother it disturbs me deeply, especially with what has happened to her relationship with her babies.
Yes, my own maternal instincts make me want to wrap her in a warm blanket, give her some hot chocolate, and make it all better as well, but come on. Is that realistic? This is a woman in her late twenties (not a girl, not a child) who allegedly is bipolar, has mental health issues, has a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse, has been in (and prematurely left) rehab...the list goes on. There is no way that I would assume I was qualified to help her, and I don't understand how a long list of seemingly well-balanced Hollywood celebrities keep thinking they would be able to make a difference either.
Yes, Heidi states that she has never been happier in her own life, and that she could provide a stable environment, but does that qualify her to deal with someone that has all these problems? More importantly, I can't imagine any possible scenario where having Britney as a house guest (along with her legions of paparazzi friends hanging around on the street) could be beneficial to Heidi's own children, aged 1, 2, and 3.
Fact is, Britney has a mother. Britney is a mother. She needs professional, medical help and has to want to be helped in the first place. I would so much rather see Heidi Klum and the others opt to support and bring attention to the charities / non-profits / associations that help deal with the issues Britney has, than to hear anyone else offer up room and board for her in their mansions.
