It just doesn’t seem like Lynne Spears is having the best couple of months. First her youngest daughter, Jamie Lynn, went public with the shocking news of her pregnancy in December, when she was just 16. Then in January, her oldest daughter, Britney, 26, was hospitalized twice for mental illness, before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Since then, a visibly drained Lynne, 52, has been running back and forth between her home in Kentwood, Lousiana (near where Jamie Lynn is staying), and Los Angeles, where Britney lives, trying to care for both girls while keeping quiet about her family’s troubles.

But this week, Lynne finally broke her silence, giving an emotional interview to Life & Style magazine.

When asked about Jamie Lynn, now 17, Lynne straightforwardly said:

“I’m a bit disappointed that my youngest daughter got pregnant at such an early age. All I can do is turn to God for answers and just leave it in His hands.”

Despite her frustration over the situation Jamie Lynn has gotten herself into, Lynne is trying to look on the bright side. Which is a good thing, it helps to maintain a positive outlook. “Jamie Lynn will be a wonderful mother,” she says. “She really has a way with children — she’s a natural nurturer. I just wish she had waited a bit.”

When it comes to Britney, who ended her long estrangement from her mom after leaving the psych ward at UCLA Medical Center on February 6, Lynne offered love and support. She also said she believes the key to solving her daughter’s problems is to spend more time with her two young boys, Sean, 2, and Jayden, 1.

“I pray for Britney every day to be a better mother,” she goes on to say. “She’s gone through a lot of trauma, but she seems to be coming out of it— and it’s showing in her relationship with the boys. They’re really bonding.”

As for the future, Lynne remains hopeful for both daughters, stating, “I think 2008 will be a better year for all of us.”

I think we all are starting to feel the same way as Lynne. The Spears family has gone through more drama than any family should ever have to face.
