Lynne Spears — mother of Britney and Jamie-Lynn — says the worst is behind for her family.
Promoting her new book, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, on the Today show, Lynne talked about Britney's meltdown, Jamie Lynn's teen pregnancy and said, "We're through the storm and we're looking at the sunshine right now."
"It was so crazy at that time," Lynne said of the double whammy of Britney being committed for psychiatric problems shortly after learning that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn was preggers. "I don't think anybody was trying to sit and think what was going on," Lynne said. "We were praying very hard, because it seemed like we were having no control over anything that was happening."
Lynne confirmed to the Today show that Jamie Lynn delivered the shocking baby news to her via a note. The teen star of Zoey 101 handed her mom the piece of paper and said she should read it privately. "It said she was pregnant and everything was going to be okay," Lynne recalled. "She was going to raise it... I thought it was a joke. I was waiting for the punch line... I think I was just truly in shock, and then I started to cry. And she started consoling me at that point."
As for Britney, Lynne said she's on an upswing since her ex, Jamie, took over as conservator and helped the pop tart get her career back on track. Brit recently picked up three VMA Awards and has a new album in the works. "She's strong," Lynne said of Brit. "She's resilient. She's had some big bumps in the road, but Britney's fine. Britney is headed to the top once again. I have no fears about Britney."
Lynne says she's blamed herself for her daughters' troubles, but she's a lot like other moms.
"It's a balancing act," she said. "Maybe I haven't done it as best as I could, but all I ever tell you is I tried."
