Britney Spears had a very public breakdown last year and her mother Lynne said she saw signs of trouble as far back as four years ago. After Brit married childhood friend Jason Alexander and then annulled the marriage 55 hours later, Lynne knew there could be something seriously wrong with her daughter at that point.
Lynne spoke with Lorraine Kelly on GMTV and said it was difficult watching her daughter's struggles. Kelly asked if it was unbearable, and Spears said, "Yes, it was."
She continued, "I think there comes a time in a young adult's life when they want to live their own life and Mamma and Daddy, they're not cool any more.
"I think it was that situation. Much similar to a child that goes to college and they're really into their college life and they don't really come home a lot."
Lynne explains how her pop star daughter has made a comeback and recovered from her problems.
"I think with a lot of love and care and help. Sometimes you have to just settle down."
She added, "You have to stop and think. There's a lot of people that care about Britney and love Britney, and Britney's doing great now. Well, she is a normal mother, but when you throw her in front of the cameras, I guess everybody's going to act a little different.
"I mean you're very guarded, but in the home where there's nobody around, she's very normal.
"I think Britney's just ready to get started again. I think this is when she's most in her element. Everything's going to be fine because we're got a lot of people - and the best - that are helping us now.
"And we're going to get this done and it's all going to be good - you just wait and see."
All I can say is, thank goodness for Britney's father, Jamie Spears.
Britney performed live at the Bambi Awards and will be on Britain's X Factor Saturday evening.
