Britney Spearssays that she feels “heard.”

“It goes without saying that we have been following your conservatorship closely and we’re elated that you were able to both remove your father as a years-long conservator in September and finally terminate your conservatorship entirely in November,” the letter read.

“Please know that you have absolutely no obligation to do anything more but fight for yourself, but if you are willing, we would appreciate learning more about the emotional and financial turmoil you faced within the conservatorship system.

“We applaud your inspiring fight and stand ready to assist you in any way that we can,” the note, written on U.S. Congress letterhead, concluded.

“Number 1 - I’m grateful that my story was even ACKNOWLEDGED!” she continued. “Because of the letter, I felt heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life!”

“I wish I would have been … I was so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me … I’m lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on … In the mean time thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House,” Britney concluded.

In the months since Britney’s conservatorship was terminated on Nov. 12, 2021, she haspublicly taken aim at her familyin varioussocial media posts.

Last month, thepop star hit back at her fatherJamie’s request for her tocontinue paying his legal feesdespite the conservatorship’s termination.

Rosengart, who has represented Britney since July,first filed court documentsto move forward in asking to end Britney’s conservatorship in September, weeks after Jamie, who was then her estate conservator,did the same.

After Jamie — who had stepped down as Britney’s personal conservator in 2019 — was officially suspended from his role as estate conservator on Sept. 29, 2021,Britney thanked Rosengart on Instagram, writing: “Thankfully I found an amazing attorney Mathew Rosengart who has helped change my life!!!!”

Weeks later, Rosengartfiled additional court documentsaccusing Jamie of having ulterior motives after he unexpectedly reversed his stance in September on the necessity of Britney’s conservatorship.

For his part, Jamie has defended his role as the conservator of Britney’s estate and hasinsisted that he only ever had his daughter’s best interest at heart.
