Britney Spears on her ‘though years’

The hardest years of my life were when my two sons were gone for those 3 years. I was cut off from calling or texting and I remember in shock my secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears”.
Britney Spears focused on healing
She, however, assured her followers that she is in the process of healing, as she said, “It’s weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it. Well I know I’m healing because I’m hungry again like a child or baby. I’m so hungry it hurts and when I eat it’s like it’s my first time ever eating in my life”.She went on, “I believe although I loved my home there is waaay too much abuse and trauma in there…. Today I thank Jesus for the food. It feels like telling others ‘No’, owning my body, and letting them REALLY know where I’m fromMy soul has never experienced food like this a day in my life”.“So silly and embarrassing I’m going to eat cookies and cream ice cream now…god bless u all”, she added.
