Amanda Bynes's Parents Are Surrendering Conservatorship, Then Moving To Texas To Escape The Dysfunction

The family struggle for control over Amanda Bynes's well-being seems to be coming to a screeching halt this week, as her parents are headed back to court once again. This time it will be different, though. Rather than fighting for conservatorship, they are instead ready to transfer everything over to someone else.

According to a report by TMZ, Bynes's parents will be filing documents with the court soon to surrender the conservatorship over to a mental health professional. Bynes's finances will likely then be placed in the hands of an official money manager. After fighting with their daughter for years, it seems her parents are conceding that they cannot effectively help her at this point. They are hoping that if control is placed in the hands of someone else, then Bynes will perhaps stop lashing out so viciously and start to listen.

Not only are her parents kind of washing their hands of the dysfunction, but they are also leaving California altogether. After a few years of drama, they are said to be ready to move to Texas to be near their older — and likely saner —daughter instead.

This plan might really be the best thing for everyone. Bynes might actually do better in the hands of professionals whom she has no emotional attachment to. Back when she actually had a successful career — she had her own sketch comedy TV show on the children's channel Nickelodeon — it was because she allowed a professional team to guide her, so perhaps she can somehow be made to see this in a similar way.

Can you blame Bynes's parents for deciding not only to stop trying to help, but to also flee the state for a more peaceful setting? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
