Britney's mum blames herself

Britney Spears' mum blames herself for her daughter's current state, it was revealed today.

The mother of three, who is divorced from Britney's father, also told Life & Style magazine that she is trying to get Britney and ex-husband Kevin Federline back together.

"Here are two parents who care about their kids. They're good people," said Lynne Spears.

"With my daughter's, Kevin's and the boys' interests at heart, I'm trying my best to bring them together, to bridge the gap. I think things are getting good.

"I wish I'd been there more while she was touring, but I couldn't be. I had the other kids to look after. I didn't raise my children to have Hollywood careers. This all just exploded in my face, and big dreams became big headaches."
