Britney
Spears Mom Speaks Out About Family Troubles
1/31/08
Britney Spears' mother has spoken out about her troubled daughters,
insisting she's "doing as well as can be expected" amid constant
media attacks on her parenting skills.
Lynne Spears and her pop star daughter ended months of estrangement on
Monday (28Jan08) when the pair were spotted shopping together in Los
Angeles.
Footage of the Spearses' late night pharmacy trip suggested both mum
and daughter are struggling with their emotions, and now Lynne tells U.S.
publication Life & Style she's trying to cope.
While Britney faces attacks on her mental state, teenage sister Jamie
Lynn is in hiding in Louisiana after announcing she's pregnant.
The girls' troubled mother says, "Britney's on my mind day and
night. She never leaves my thoughts.
"I love Britney dearly. I want nothing more than to protect her
and make everything all right for her.
"And Jamie Lynn's my baby. I'm doing my best. I'm doing as well as
can be expected.
Sources tell the publication Lynne agreed to fly to Los Angeles from
her home in Louisiana after receiving a desperate call from her eldest
daughter.
The insider says, "Britney called her on January 25th. She told
her, `Ive got to get my boys back and I can't do it without you.'
"Lynne, who hadn't talked to Britney in ages, was shocked at
first. It was the moment shed been waiting for."
