BRITNEY SPEARS' mother LYNNE has told how she wept at the recent MTV Video Music Awards - because she was so happy to see her daughter back to her best.
Britney wowed the audience at the Los Angeles event last Sunday when she picked up three awards for her recent musical efforts.
And opening her heart in her gripping new book, Lynne admits it was an overwhelming moment to see her daughter's amazing recovery - just months after the singer's public breakdown which saw her admitted to hospital at the beginning of the year under a mental health order.
Lynne says: "I looked at her on stage and I realised I finally had her back.
"I saw the Britney I remember and love - not the girl I had seen strapped to a stretcher and wheeled into a psychiatric hospital. And tears of relief filled my eyes."
Lynne also recalled her despair as Britney cut her out of her life for seven months.
Britney blamed her mother for forcing her into Promises rehab clinic and siding with ex husband KEVIN FEDERLINE in their divorce battle.
Lynne says: "I was a wreck, worrying myself sick many miles from my confused, hurting daughter.
"I felt hopeless, as if I was losing my grasp on my child."
The pair are now fully reconciled and were together at the weekend as Britney threw a star-studded joint birthday party for her two sons SEAN PRESTON, 3, and JAYDEN JAMES, 3. Lynne adds: "She is my fighter, my sweetheart. My girl has been to hell and back.
"It has been one hell of a journey. We have taken our first steps on the road to healing our family."
Guests at the car-themed bash included singer GWEN STEFANI, with her two-year-old son KINGSTON, and JIM CARREY'S girlfriend JENNY McCARTHY with her son EVAN, six.
Britney's dad JAMIE, sister JAMIE LYNN and two-month old niece MADDIE BRIANN also joined in the fun.
Britney treated her sons to custom-designed mini motorised cars complete with personalised licence plates and a cake in the shape of a yellow truck.
A source told People.com: "The boys received tons of birthday gifts. Britney and her family really made the party special for the boys."
Britney lost custody of her two sons to Kevin last year and earlier this year lost visitation rights.
But her access to the boys was gradually restored over the summer with the resolution of the former couple's bitter custody battle.

Sources tell E! News that Britney Spears threw her boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, a joint truck-themed birthday party on Saturday. Sister Jamie Lynn and her 2-month-old daughter, Maddie, were in attendance along with approximately 50 other guests.
Saturday was Jayden's actual 2nd birthday; Sean Preston turns 3 on Sunday.
The birthday boys and their little friends drove around in mini toy cars with personalized license plates. Britney was dressed casually in jeans and a green top, and was spotted watching the kids enjoying their new rides.
The party started at 2 p.m. at the Beverly Hills home of Dr. 90210 plastic surgeon Paul Nassif and Adrienne Maloof, sister of Brit's good friends Phil and George Maloof, owners of the Palms Casino. The mansion is situated in the gated community of Beverly Park.

Britney Spears and her family - including sister Jamie Lynn and her daughter Maddie, brother Bryan, mom Lynne and dad Jamie - threw a car-themed joint birthday party for sons Sean Preston and Jayden James in Beverly Hills Saturday.
Sean, who turns 3 on Sunday, and Jayden, who turned 2 on Friday, were given miniature SUVs with personalized license plates.
"Britney was looking on like a very proud mommy," a source told Usmagazine.com. "She got a kick out of watching the boys in their cars and was laughing and smiling."
The celebration - which took place at pal Adrienne Maloof-Nassif's home - was a contrast to the boys' birthdays last year.
In 2007, ex-husband Kevin Federline threw their sons a pool party as Spears disappointed with an embarrassing performance of "Gimme More" at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Yesterday afternoon, Britney Spears invited an intimate selection of family members and close friends to a birthday party she hosted for her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Because her eldest son was born on September 14, 2005 and her second son was born on September 12, 2006 it, apparently, makes the most sense to celebrate the boys’ birthdays together since their birthdays are only 2 days shy of a year apart. Here are a few pics of Spears family birthday fête which took place in Los Feliz, CA yesterday afternoon: Britney Spears revved up the celebration for sons Preston and Jayden on Saturday, throwing her sons a joint car and truck-themed birthday bash in Los Angeles. And the party was truly a family affair. Spears celebrated her boys’ special days – Preston turns 3 on Sept. 14, and Jayden turned 2 on Sept. 12 – with sister Jamie Lynn Spears, her newborn niece Maddie Briann, dad Jamie and mom Lynne. Held at close friend Adrienne Maloof-Nassif’s Beverly Park house, the outdoor party drew some famous guests, including Jenny McCarthy with her son Evan, and Gwen Stefani’s son Kingston, 2, who came to the bash from an equally starry affair: He celebrated Heidi Klum’s son Henry’s 3rd birthday at the model’s Beverly Hills house along with all three of Victoria Beckham’s sons. But the guests of honor seemed to be having the best time. Preston and Jayden drove around the party in mini motorized cars, which were customized Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier. The cars featured tattoo-inspired decals, Ed Hardy air fresheners and personalized license plates. To keep with the party’s theme, the cake was in shape of a yellow truck. “The boys received tons of birthday gifts,” a source told PEOPLE. “Britney and her family really made the party special for the boys.”
Oh yeah, now this sounds like a good ol’ fashioned Spears family get-together. I’m actually surprised that there is no mention in this report of Kevin Federline being in attendance … surely the father of the kids was allowed to attend. As you can tell from the first photo, Britney’s older brother Bryan was in the hiz for the celebration and he wasn’t mentioned either. In any event, it looks like a really fun birthday for the boys … we know they love trucks so I assume they had a great time. Happy Birthday, Sean Preston (tomorrow) and Jayden James (yesterday)!!!
UPDATE: I just found out that Kevin Federline WAS NOT in attendance at his sons’ joint birthday party after all, he was bizzy partying with “a group of ladies” and spent all of last night seated at Privé nightclub’s private and exclusive Table 69 in Las Vegas, NV. Proof positive that K-Fed is worthy of his recent Father of the Year title.
