Britney Spears has been the focus of many tabloids over the span of her wildly successful career, but in recent months there has been a sharp increase in media attention surrounding the star's emotional and mental health. Fans have even questioned whether or not she is physically in danger, as the star's social media account portrays some very troubling content.

Spears has recently tried to revoke the conservatorship that he father has sole access to, but has lost her battle in court. Throughout all of this, her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears has rushed to her sister's defense, refusing to shed light on Britney's well-being, and citing this as a "personal matter." 19 News reports that many fans are left wondering where Britney's mom is through all of this, and if perhaps she could lend a hand in normalizing this seemingly conflicted situation.

Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears have been divorced since 2002. Lynne has experienced difficulties in her relationship with Britney, and the two suffered a period of estrangement, but have seemingly worked out their differences and have formed a strong bond. Like any mom, Lynne worries for her daughter, especially now.

Lynne Spears Tries To Help

Harpers Bazaar reports that Lynne Spears has been doing her best to assist her daughter, to no avail. She and Britney had been estranged for some time before reuniting, and as recently as this past summer, Lynne was trying to insert herself into Britney's finances in order to assist her daughter. She made an attempt to be included in Britney's financial affairs, but this seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

It appears that Lynne filed a formal request to be included in Britney's finances and conservatorship, but was met with negative results. In spite of her renewed interest in Britney's affairs, Lynn is forced on the outside looking in.

Lynne Blames Herself

Like most moms, Lynne feels a certain sense of responsibility for her daughter's safety and well being. She has gone on record as saying; "I blame myself, What mother wouldn't?", and continues to discuss that she wishes she had been more involved in Britney's life when she was on tour.

Of course, Lynne had other children to raise, not just Britney, so she stayed back to tend to the other children while Britney left to tour the world at a very young age. Being exposed to such a fast-paced, incredibly public lifestyle carries with it an immense amount of pressure and endless scrutiny at the hands of the media. This ultimately became too much for Britney to handle, and her mom wishes she could have somehow stepped in to better the situation for her daughter.

Britney Wants Her Mother's Assistance

Britney and Lynne have experienced some ups and downs in their relationship, but Harpers Bazaar reports that in spite of their past disagreements, Britney Spears wants, and seemingly needs her mother's help. Britney is desperate to free herself from the clutches of this conservatorship and sees her mom as the key to being able to be set free. She is reportedly the one that requested her mother assist her by getting more involved with the financial end of things. Britney wants her mom to gain control of her SJB Revocable Trust, which she filed for in 2004" to protect her multimillion-dollar assets."

The Real Cost Of Fame

While many people are attracted by the bright lights of Hollywood, Lynne Spears seems to be unimpressed by it all, and is put off by the real cost of fame, and what it has done to her family. Britney Spears' fame came hand in hand with enormous pressure and scrutiny, and it proved to be way too much for her to handle. Jamie Lynn Spears is also seeing a fair bit of success with her claim to fame, and this is all too much for Lynn. She is deeply concerned with what has happened to her family. 19 News quotes her as saying; "I didn't raise my children to have Hollywood careers. This all just exploded in my face, and big dreams became big headaches."

Britney's mental health has taken front and center and now forms a critical aspect of her career. She's as famous for her musical talents and killer dance moves as she is for her shaved head, umbrella yielding incident, which to many fans was their first real confirmation of her mental fragility.

According to Harpers Bazaar, "Lynne filed for transparency to keep an eye on the finances because she knows Britney has her ups and downs. She has been doing much better; she is in regular therapy and exercising. Lynne sees a huge improvement."
