Jamie Spears, Britney’s dad, just doesn’t get it.
Co-Dependent of the Month:
Jamie Spears, pop star Britney Spears’ dad, giving in to her tirades by letting her drink wine with dinner “as a way to relax” and because the young, tragic alcoholic convinced Jamie that “a steak dinner isn’t complete” without a glass of red wine. Reportedly, when her mother Lynne asked Britney if she was drinking, she responded, “Daddy said I could. It’s just wine.” Message to Jamie: while a glass of wine can be a “way to relax” to a non-addict, it is an open invitation to begin a full-blown relapse to an addict.
