‘I always TRIED and TRIED and maybe that’s why they stopped coming here!!! I wanted them to love so much that I might have overdone it!!!’
‘This summer, they told me “we may come here less” and I was like that’s fine. I called they dad and I told him that it seems the boys are wanting to stop coming here as much, which I get because they have their own thing going on but I feel like they are being pretty harsh!!!’
‘His words were “I would never let them make that decision on their own… I would never do that to you”!!! Well after that, I haven’t seen them since!!!’

I will forever have trauma and I know this, I’ve accepted it.’ However, she did see a silver lining at the end, saying, ‘Either way, I have a beautiful pool, a supportive husband, and 5 dogs.’
The post came after she recently blasted Kevin for his ‘hurtful’ interview with ITV News, which was all about her, their marriage, and their children.
In the chat Kevin claimed: ‘The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her [June 9] wedding.’

Kevin indicated that their sons are embarrassed by the former Mouseketeer’s frequent posts of herself nearly nude.
‘I try to explain to them, “Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself,”‘ Federline – who’s said to receive $20K/month in child support – explained.
‘But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them. It’s tough. I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school.’
In 2019, Kevin was granted 70% custody of their sons while Britney was downgraded to 30% – according to TMZ.
Kevin also defended Britney’s estranged father – former building contractor Jamie Spears – who controlled every aspect of her life during a 13-year conservatorship, which ended on November 12.
‘100% I feel like he saved her back then,’ Kevin gushed. ‘I saw a man that really cared, and wanting everything to be okay…I would absolutely welcome Jamie Spears back in the boys’ lives.’
