Britney Spears Takes Some 'Me Time' After Dad's Surgery

Britney Spears has reportedly checked into a wellness facility. The step comes after the singer took a break from her career and postponed her “Domination” show in Las Vegas following her dad’s health problems. After her father underwent another surgery recently, Spears decided to take some “me time.”

Spears hinted at her taking some time off for herself in a recent Instagram post. The picture she shared in the post talked about falling in love with taking care of oneself. The singer wrote in that post that everyone needs to take some time out for some “me time.”

How is Spears taking care of her mind, body and soul? A source close to the singer told People that she recently checked into an “all-encompassing wellness treatment” facility.

A source close to the family said that Spears needed to focus on herself after taking care of her ill father all this time. Her father suffered a colon rupture and had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery. His condition was said to be “life-threatening” at that time.

Spears’ father reportedly had to undergo another surgery a few weeks back. The fear of losing her father took its toll on her, according to the source.

The source pointed out that there’s nothing “dramatic” about Spears’ mental health. She apparently realized that she needed to take care of herself, and that’s why she went to the wellness facility.

Spears was able to handle it for a while when her father’s health was improving, a source told US Weekly. However, when his condition worsened, the thought of potentially losing him was a “breaking point” for the singer, and she couldn’t handle it emotionally.

The insider confirmed that Spears will be there in the wellness facility for a few weeks. During this time her children will be in the care of their father Kevin Federline.
