Britney Spears has opened up about having to "relearn how to live" as she hit out at her family over her 13-year-long conservatorship.
The Princess of Pop, 40, had been under the controversial conservatorship – ran by her father Jamie Spears – since 2008 and endured a long fight to have it removed.
The conservatorship finally ended in November last year, with Britney saying getting her freedom was the "best day ever".
The singer has now explained how the conservatorship granted her family "lots of power" and said she can finally own her own money after all these years.
Britney took to Instagram to share a picture explaining "upperworld crime", which includes criminal behaviour by those in the upper socioeconomic classes.
In the caption, she said: "I’m not sure I’ve ever taken ADVANTAGE of playing this game … I mean just this year at 40 I can buy Tylenol and own my own money … but it’s eye-opening to see what people can do.
"My family owned my estate for years … they owned my name, my star, my money, and guess what ??? It gave them LOTS of power."
Britney added: "Since it’s been over I have to RELEARN how to live my life."
Ending her post, she wrote: "I feel like I’ve been programmed to be a nun half my life … Can anybody out there for the love of God teach me how to lie at least ???"
Britney's mum Lynne Spears recently begged her daughter for forgiveness and issued a public apology for any "pain" her daughter endured during her conservatorship.
Lynne said she misses Britney and asked for forgiveness in an Instagram comment shared under the singer's recent post asking for "a genuine apology" from her family.
Lynne wrote: "I am soooo sorry for your pain! I have been sorry for years! I love you so much and miss you!
"Britney, deep down you know how much I love and miss you! I apologize for anything and everything that’s hurt you!"
The author also begged the Grammy winner to "please unblock" her so they could speak in person.
