The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Barney is reaching new depths of despair as her contentious custody battle wages on.
The beleaguered reality star, whose fallout with her 15-year-old daughter Sidney surfaced publicly this week, took to social media early Thursday to express her grief and frustration over the situation, in what some might perceive as cries for help.
Barney tweeted, “I’ve lost my strength,” linking to an Instagram graphic with a note that read, “You think you want to die, but in reality you just want to be saved.”
The posts received a number of reassuring messages from her followers, imploring her to calm down and wait for the bad times to pass.
As we previously reported, Barney’s ex-husband Simon Barney, in seeking full custody of their three children, accused the blonde beauty of being “very neglectful in her care for the children,” and letting their medical, nutritional, hygienic and academic issues fall by the wayside.

Her daughter Sidney took to Twitter late Tuesday and suggested her mother was “lying about everything,” and made clear she’s been happy and content living with her father the past six months.
In court papers, Simon said their daughter has labeled her mother as “verbally and emotionally abusive,” and claims she’s been teased and bullied by peers over her mother’s flashy on-screen persona on the Bravo mainstay.
