Britney Spears can count on her family to be there when she needs them.
Wednesday, AND confirmed that the singer was taking time at a health facility after undergoing tremendous stress as a result of her father's illness, Jaime Spears. While she is looking for help, her two boys – Sean, 13, and Jayden, 12 – are well cared for by their father and Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline. .
A source told ET on Thursday, "The boys are going to school and with their father." Britney always gives priority to the children and has chosen this moment for help while they are with their father. [The boys] have not been disturbed because it's their time, they are normally with their father. "
"Britney knows that boys are safe and happy and that they are well cared for with him," says the source. "It's really a loving family working together so that Britney can give herself time to heal."
At the end of last year, Jamie was rushed to hospital when his colon broke. According to one release, he would have spent 28 days in the hospital and the family would have recognized that doctors and nurses saved his life. In January, Spears announced that she would take an indefinite break from work to focus on her father's recovery. However, the stress of seeing Jamie sick hurt him.
"Britney has chosen to enter the institution and plans to take at least a 30-day break to focus on herself," the source told ET. "She plans to stay in the facility to reduce her stress level and regain strength to be present for her father and children."
"The health of his father [crisis] Britney had a lot of trouble watching her because he was struggling, "the source continues. He is really under the best care and Britney knows it. She also knows that it does not belong to her and that she needs time to heal right away. "
The source also adds that their entire family "is extremely worried about Jamie". "There have been a lot of tears during this time and they are relying on one another to support each other," the source said. "They ensure that he receives the best possible care and show him every day how much they love him."
Following the announcement of Spears' help, Mark Vincent Kaplan, a Federline lawyer, told ET on Wednesday that "Kevin congratulates Britney for recognizing that she needs to step back and that She is taking reasonable steps to resolve her situation responsibly and wishes good luck to all. "
Spears' boyfriend Sam Asghari, his mother Lynne and sister Jamie Lynn also showed their support for the singer.
