Britney Spears' son is speaking out about his complicated relationship with his mother.
While things are complicated, Jayden says, “I 100 percent think this can be fixed.”
“It’s just going to take a lot of time and effort. I just want her to get better mentally,” he continues. “When she gets better I really want to see her again.”
Speaking directly to his mom, Jayden says, “I love you a lot, I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again.”

“And I came to the realization of how famous she was and how successful she is as a person and that inspired me.”
Still, Jayden and his brother find themselves torn regarding Spears' use of social media, noting that Preston “asked my mother not to post his photos, and she did it anyway. So it didn’t go well.”
Jayden says he feels that “social media helps her… So if that’s what she wants to do, that’s what she wants to do. I’m not going to hate her for that.”

“At the same time, she should come to the realization of whatever it is that stops her loving her family,” the teen continues.
‘It’s almost like she has to post something on Instagram to get some attention. This has gone on for years and years and years and there’s a high chance that this will never stop, but I’m hoping for me that she will stop.’
Hours after the interview was published, Spears replied in astatement shared on her Instagramwhere she sent her son “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 … and maybe one day we can meet face to face and talk about this openly !!!!”
Going on to explain how hard she worked and what she endured to give her children all they have, Spears added, “It’s horrible to see your dad be a hypocrite and say the media horrible yet has you talking about personal matters to them !!!”
Spears then urged her younger son to “look in the mirror and remember … you are my child and always will be !!!!”
“Keep playing your gift on the piano … you and your brother both are brilliant and I’m so proud to call you both mine,” the pop star added before noting her sons don’t understand her feelings around her mental health and conservatorship.
On Friday night, Spears posted a new video on Instagram featuring outfit changes, as well as the pop star posing topless and in a pair of underwear.
“My son might give [Elton John] a run for his money !!! ….I have soooooooo much footage of him playing [the piano] … yep my children are freaking geniuses !!! It’s kinda scary … he stopped seeing me … I posted something of him, but he got really mad so unfortunately, I haven’t been able to post my loving family…” she wrote.
“Either way I’m so sorry children I continue to do social media … I’m sorry you feel I do it for attention … I’m sorry for the way you feel … but guess what ???? I’ve got news for you … I’m a child of God as well we all are in God’s eyes … so NOPE I’m not sorry … I’ve learned to say SO !!!”
A separate portion of the Federlines' interview that aired last month sparked aprevious Instagram responsefrom Spears, in which she wrote, “It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children. As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone.”
