BRITNEY Spears has sent an emotional message to sons Jayden and Preston amid a heated and increasingly public family feud.
The post followed a statement from her youngest child, Jayden, who appeared to extend an olive branch to the pop star in an interview with The U.K. Sun about their challenging family situation.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Britney, 40, began: "I've tried my best at being the best person I can be … to be basically held hostage in homes under nurses and bulls**t I hope my kids one day understand my reasoning of my play in water revealing myself as any woman would being held under blankets and supervision under the conservatorship !!!
"Finally at 40 without the restraints of what my family did to me … I say to my son Jayden that I send all the love in the world to you every day for the rest of my life !!! My love for my children has no boundaries and it deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn't up to his expectations of a mother."
The Grammy winner seemed to echo Jayden's statement in a way, writing: "And maybe one day we can meet face to face and talk about this openly !!!! Maybe dear child YOU can explain to me why our family would do that to anyone !!!!"
She continued, taking a swipe at ex-husband Kevin Federline: "I helped your father who hasn't had a job in 15 years … I assume it is easier for you guys not to have someone check on you to make sure you're doing your homework !!!! I'm sure the standards of your dad smoking weed every day benefits your daily life at 15 and 16 to partake in a VERY COOL GENERATION !!!"
"I completely understand your need to live with your father as I had to play the perfect role for 15 years for absolutely nothing. I'm so happy I was able to carry 4 tours, judge X Factor and WAAAY more," Britney ranted.
She didn't stop there, assuring her son: "I did that for you. And Preston … I'm aware of your gift … I know you're a teacher in my life and dear child I'm a teacher for you as well !!! It's horrible to see your dad be a hypocrite and say the media is horrible yet he has you talking about personal matters to them !!!"
Britney urged her teenage son: "If you could pause for a second remember where you came from !!! I hope you can look in the mirror and remember … you are my child and always will be !!!! Since Preston didn't speak, I send my love !!!"
She added: "I would love nothing more than to see you two face to face. Keep playing your gift on the piano … you and your brother both are brilliant and I'm so proud to call you both mine."

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
Britney shifted gears slightly, discussing her mental health – a concern of those around her, and her fans.
She wrote in her Instagram post: "As for my mental health my dear child understand you must learn to pick up a book and read one before you resort to even thinking about my intellect sweetheart !!!"
Britney again took a dig at Kevin, writing in her post: "Tell your father to go try and at least mow the lawn … Psss if you can honestly sit back and say with your sensible brilliant mind what memaw and paw paw did to me was fine and call them not bad people … then yes I have failed as a mother and hopefully that's a chat for your and your father to sit face to face and try to learn WHAT'S GOOD."
SON SPEAKS
The latest post from the Circus singer comes on the heels of her son's tell-all interviews airing on ITV News.
He pleaded: "I love you a lot and I hope for the best for you.
"Maybe one day we can sit down … and talk again and have a normal conversation."
In the interview, shown in parts, Jayden explained his reason for going no contact with mom Britney.
He alleged: "The type of environment she gave us was not very comfortable for me and my brother.
"Once you're ten or 11, that's when you come to the realization of things.
"There's no hate…I really want to see her again. It will make me happy, and it will make Preston happy."
Britney shares both boys with ex-husband Kevin, whom she divorced in 2006.
She has since moved on with Sam Asghari, whom she recently wed.
Jayden and Preston were both invited to her big day but opted not to attend – something Jayden addressed in his interview.
He said: “It just wasn’t a good time to go. I’m not saying that I’m not happy for her.
“I’m really happy for them but she didn’t invite the whole family and if it was just going to be me and Preston, I don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms.”
'HATEFUL'
Britney lashed out at her sons again earlier this month, slamming them for "abandoning her" and begging them to give her another chance.
“It’s hard for me to let go of things I truly love … like my kids,” the pop star wrote in her note.
As part of her custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin, Britney confessed that she was entitled to see her son Preston and Jayden 2-3 days a week.
Recently, however, they only come over for one day at a time, if at all.
"Yeah, I know that teenagers are just hard to deal with at that age … but COME ON, there’s being rude then there’s being HATEFUL," Britney shared.
"They would visit me, walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door !!!
"The MONITOR would tell me that he just likes to be in his room … I’m like why come visit me if they don’t even visit me !!! But I never said that because I have to be kind."
"It hurts, and I want to scream !!!" she continued. "I want to shake their shoulders and say wake up, I'm here too !!!"
Britney says she "always TRIED and TRIED, and maybe that’s why they stopped coming here !!!
"I wanted them to love me so much that I might have overdone it !!!"
Britney previously revealed that she hasn't seen her kids once this summer.
SHOCKING LEAK
Days after to that scathing post, a person claiming to be Britney's ex Kevin leaked shocking videos that alleged to show the singer "screaming" at her kids.
In the first clip, a child, who he claimed was one of their sons, could be heard saying: "You come in here when we're trying to go to bed and you just say…"
A shadowy figure – allegedly the Toxic singer – interrupted, shouting back: "It's my house. If I want to come in here and give you lotion for your face because it's course and all you tell me [is] 'no, it's fine. It's fine.'"
As her face turned and became more visible to the camera, she continued: "You all better start respecting me, do you hear? … you all need to start treating me like a woman with worth, OK? I am a woman. Be nice to me."
In a second video, filmed in a vehicle, a woman who looks like Britney was seen sitting in the front passenger seat.
She shouted while looking at the backseat: "Have you lost your f**king mind? Have you lost your f**king mind? I do care but I'm shocked as f**k with you and I don't know what to do and I'm scared of you because you're weird 'cause you're going through puberty."
The woman continued: "I don't know what to say but I do care more than you know. My little body can't handle all of that. It's like sometimes I just don't even know what to say with you. I was in shock and I do care."
Fans then get some context for the argument.
The two kids appeared both stunned and annoyed by their mothers anger in the video shown.
A boy, believed to be Preston, responded: "If you really care you wouldn't take my phone away."
The woman quipped back: "I was in shock when I looked down in the story and – Jayden, how are you so cool about that? your brother, baring his big feet – size 13 – in an ice cream shop in Alaska weather?"
The third video appeared to be a continuation of the second.
In it, the woman inquired: "Are you wanting attention, baby? Is that what this is?"
In the caption, the accountholder – allegedly Kevin – wrote: "I can not sit back and let my sons be accused in this way after what they've been through.
"As much as it hurts us, we decided as a family to post these videos the boys took when they were 11 & 12."
He went on: "This isn't even the worst of it. The lies have to stop. I hope our kids grow up to be better than this."
The post ends with the hashtag "#NeverFearTruth."
The drama kicked off with a particularly telling interview with Kevin, who claimed their teenage sons have been avoiding their Grammy award-winner mother as of late.
He also hinted that the sibling duo is struggling with their mom's nude snaps on social media.
