Watch the interview of the ex teacher of Kurt's. When Kurt got kicked out by his parents, Kurt lived on the teacher's couch for a year. He said what a good kid he was, did all the chores, polite, packed up his sleeping bag each day. The teacher said in that year he never heard once from either Kurt's mother or father.
Thank you for telling uss. Dont Trust tham. Becouce I always felt some people wanted Kurt Cobijn Died. He told it. It was oll for thecmony his wife never Loved him Never nor 1 Day. This iscnot normal you go end check howe everithing is doing with your Child Sorry it makes me Sick real Sick Rest with Piece end Love Kurt You areca Beautyfull Angel Soul😥💔
When she started talking about Kurt's behaviour after his father left, the line from Serve The Servants ("I tried hard to have a father but instead I had a dad") came straight to my mind. I've always liked that line in this song.
she lied about being ok with being gay because kurt mentioned one time that he couldn't be friends with someone because his mom didn't like that fact that he was gay
I think the reality of fame and fortune didn't meet his expectations. He said himself in an interview, if he had known it was like it was he wouldn't have wanted it.
Like a bunch of corporate assholes telling him who he could talk to, what he could do, where he could be at all times? Always ordering him around, controlling him and ruining some of his friendships? I'd bitch and complain too.
Yes, he did all that, and the result was not what he expected. Not every band (and I'd wager most bands) that sign contracts with DGC and MTV have to put up with what he did though. Do you realize how big Nirvana were? Listen, I get the impression you don't like Kurt or Nirvana, and that's fine, but you can still have a little empathy for him. He's a person just like you and I, we're not perfect, we make mistakes, sometimes we do stupid shit.
Wendy herself said she got married young to a man she didn't love. A lot of her own anger was projected onto Kurt for being the constant reminder of Donald. That left Kurt with a void, always trying to distance himself from Don. It's not the child's fault you didn't get to fulfill all your dreams and aspirations, Wendy!
She is so unemotional! Cold woman... I never saw a tear in her eyes. Dave G ones said that “ Kurt doesn’t have a family” …. And Dave prove it when his mom, Mrs. Grohl joined them to the tour on Foo Fighters 🎶. (It doesn’t matter if Kurt’s mom is German, the pain of a mother is a pain of a mother everywhere in the world no matter how nationality she is.) 🤷🏼♀️
@@WrldGer999 vorfahren hat kurt in einem Interview gesagt schau in das 1h Interview nach wo er mit jon savage 1993 spricht und sie hieß bevor sie kurt's Vater geheiratet hat fradenburg
Unfortunetly that was his life. He had only 2 friends Dave and Krist. His mother probably hated him (he dropped out of school) and his dad was pushed away from kurt by his mother, and she shoved into their lives a step father....
Everyone connected with Kurt in his family is in denial, its human nature, I think Kurt suffered 'childhood emotional neglect'. Kurt was very sensitive. All the numbing with drugs etc...
Dust Particles I agree. Add to that that he was a truly a very sensitive type of person that the emotional neglect he seemed to have endured would of had a huge impact on him. I think it was the root cause of his depression and addiction. If you read about childhood emotional neglect, it does seem to fit or somewhat explain the troubles he had growing up and as an adult. Parents need to tell and demonstrate to their children how much they are loved and cherished. This does not spoil a child. It instead instills a healthy self esteem or self love, resiliency, inner peace, and happiness within, which in turn positively guides that child thruout their childhood, adolescence and adulthood. I’m not sure Kurt Cobain’s parents provided this unconditional, supportive, demonstrative love towards him. That said, we will never know for sure the source(s) of his profound unhappiness that ultimately led to drug addiction and suicide. All of this is only my opinion. I’m not blaming anyone for anything because it’s simply impossible for any outsider to know or really understand this complex man and his unique situation now that he’s gone. It’s very, very sad though. That we can be certain of.
This makes me so sad. I dhid not now this about his parents Kurt whase a Loving Soul eigh ugly people in his life. It is Heart Braking.. It is not fear 😥💔 .
One time Kurt;s dad turned up out of the blue to a concert, his mum also happened to turn up. Instead of focusing on their son, the two of them got in a huge fight backstage, poor Kurt. No wonder he barely spoke to them any more.
No.. his mom was already there, and his dad and half brother showed up, and he talked his way backstage because he was a cop, and he said some shit like, How are you, Grandma, because she was holding his daughter, and Cobain said, don’t fucking talk to her like that, then everyone left the room and the first words out of his mouth to his dad were Jeez, You’re old, or some shit. It’s in the book.
God is good. Repent and believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. You can be forgiven. You must be born again. There was a woman who had an alabaster box of very precious ointment and she poured it on the head of Jesus. We need to honour the King. The Lord God. ”that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.“ John 3:15 KJV. The Lord Jesus Christ. Repent means change, change from sin. Turn away from sin. Love and fear God. Call on the name of Jesus Christ. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. He saved me. There is the lake of fire which is burning for eternity and there is heaven. I have eternal life in heaven because of what the Lord has done. Be ready for the day of judgement.
Yeah I feel Don didn’t get a fair shake. Calling her Grandma was endearing? He had social issues it seems, probably why his father is misunderstood. But in Montage, Wendy (RIP) still rips on Don in present day. Why? Let go, it’s many decades since. Can he do no right? Can’t stand how ex wives/gf’s are bitter and won’t let go of trivial mistakes from youth.
I watched this, and I don't know what to think about her. I am probably wrong but she makes me feel like she didn't knew him as much as she's trying to pretend.She was the one who kicked Kurt out of her house, he had to lived at so much different places; uncles, grandparents, with his father and finally He was living with a friend and his family for not just some days, or months, but about some years. Also, the father of his friend always said, that the mother of Kurt had never called him, never tried to see him,that Kurt had no contact with his mother at all! Even if his mother's house was very close to this house Kurt was living in, sleeping on a couch.
Kurt said his family including his mother would continually scoff at his music interests, and wondered when he was going to get a real job. He even wrote a song about it "scoff". Disingenuous people, they didn't believe his music was going to go anywhere, and was surprised just like the rest of us when it exploded.
I mean to be fair, that is the responsible attitude to have. Before Nirvana got big, Kurt was literally a bum. He lived off of Tracy Marander for a few years and before that he lived in basically a crack-den with Matt Lukin lol. IT worked out for him but there was no reason to really think it was going to. Plenty of talented songwriters never make it, and have to settle for blue-collar jobs like the rest of us.
@@PiedPooper-gh6cn it couldve more easily went the other way for kurt. it was support from people like krist and his girlfriend, being in the right place in the right time, and obviously his talent and look that helped him rise above everyone else. theres tons of underground bands that are working regular jobs that are just as good as nirvana.
Maybe Cobain had more to do with her than his "cold" father, but for what i read in many books and stories - even some Cobain own statements - she behave really badly in Kurt's teenage years. Lack of love deeply affected him.
Tomás Orellana bruh his dad was actually a decent guy it was his mother who broke him...his best friend was gay and his mom wouldn’t let them both hang out and she kick Kurt out when he was 14 something about not working and going to school...bitch his only 14!
@@TougeWarrior93 Yeah, i mean Kurt didin't had kindred spirits with his dad, he was negligent and not very affectionate. But, his mother gave a bigger hard time during his teenage years. She was sort of inmature and hurtful towards him, and their boyfriends after the divorce were total dickheads. Kurt hated them.
@@Charlito732 how can you guys claim to know the full story if you don't even know any of them, I don't mean to sound harsh but I think at this point you guys are going too deep down the rabbit hole.
HAHA! Fuck Iove that guy, Buzz. I dig some of the Melvins' records, too, mainly the quieter, newer stuff, and the early stuff. They're great, and Buzz is, too. One thing that he is, is brutally honest. If he said that's how it was, that's how it was, guaranteed.
Wendy hasn't got an ounce of time for Kurt in her head space. She even struggles to think about him without a comparison to her other children. How can she speak about him like he was just a boy she knew vaguely? He was her only son and he died age 27 and she can speak about him without tearing up. She was neglectful maternally and I don't think she even cares.
she has no real love for him. it seems fake and superficial when the camera is rolling. she neglected him as a child and couldn't understand him as an adult. she sounds like she's trying to act concerned, like fake concern. it's sad because he was her only son that died tragically, and she doesn't seem deeply affected by it at all. not like a mother who cares
After decades of years… you’d still cry? After being asked about your dead son a zillion times everywhere you went you really think you’d CRY …EVERY TIME he came up? You don’t think after all the times & all the years that you’d at some point come to accept your sons death & not only that but that you’d learn how to speak about him without 😫😭😩😰 crying? Really?.. You’re an idiot; an idiot who speaks a little too matter-of-factly for only pretending to have put yourself in another persons shoes as if it wasn’t obvious you thought doing so would make you appear empathetically in-touch &therefore somehow make you look like you actually had a point. When really you did nothing more than watch a documentary; a documentary of a false narrative based off a false narrative. One that’s entire reason for being created in the 1st place was to smash the truth back into submission. You willingly watched garbage & just as it was intended for you to do so you’ve adapted the very garbage outlook you now possess - all in the name of some garbage persons entitlement. That space in your mind otherwise designated for free thought is the very space this documentary sought to occupy. And as far as the makers of the documentary are concerned - you’re a success story. Your ignorant response is exactly the reason for the making of the documentary. And it seems a happy ending; People like you get to keep on going not thinking for yourselves & Courtney Love gets to keep on going spending all Kurt Cobains money on self-concerned CRAP like this. Courtney Love took advantage of those wanting to make money just as much as they took advantage of her reasoning. They could care less about her reasoning just like she could care less that they were cashing in off Kurt’s families private business. It was a typical narcissist reaction to the film released before this “Soaked in Bleach.” You’re pathetic.
What?? She's just a strong old fashioned woman who may not like to show her emotions especially in a film for the whole world to see. She said, Kurt and herself they were best friends before the divorce. I believe that. I think Kurt loved his Mom and she loved him, she seemed like she really wanted to encourage him in his love of the arts. I get angry with my Mom because she can be so cold and emotionally flat at times, since my brother passed away from suicide she never cries, I cry all the time about it, even though it was 3 yrs ago. Trauma stays with you though and I bet in private this woman has shed tears for her son . Maybe she was still kind of in denial about the whole thing. but it seems like she wanted what was best for Kurt. Men tend to look for a woman like their mother when it comes to finding a mate, and he found that in Courtney. Courtney is not a monster either, all of these people have mental health issues, ok? God, people are so cruel, what a thing to say that she didn't cry during the interview, that doesn't mean she didn't love him. My heart goes out to her and Courtney, Kurt was a handful, neither wanted to see him suffer. Mental illness is something that a lot of people cannot understand until it affects them personally. It ran in Kurt's family, same with mine. Don't judge her so harshly.
You expect her to be sobbing 20 yrs later?? She is trying to answer the questions with some thought. She is where Kurt got his intelligence from.Due to this mom he was a real feminist. He had seem men say innaproppiate things to her on the street, she was a very pretty woman. He didn't like it & that is why he never spoke ill about Courtney. Even when he saw who she really was, a violent, fake goldigger, he never told the press. If he had made that loud & clear, there would have been less of a chance she would have him offed.
His Mom wanted to come along when it was convenient for her and served a purpose. Especially when he passed away, she was REALLY around. Gosh I wonder why? 😳🤔🙄
I read Kurt's biography and this woman - who was her mother - made her suffer a lot. She caused the divorce with her father - Don -. She went out with many young people, violent people. Sometimes she slept with Kurt's friends and drink. Then she caused a divorce by putting herself with a man who earned a lot of money but was already married. He was violent with her and Kurt. She wanted to kill him but retracted to marry him a few years later. Kurt was tossed from family to family, without love and without reference. He was twisted but after reading this book I realized that his parents had broken his life, and then continued. He wanted a stable life, with a laid family, but he had just the opposite. He could not bear the lightness of his mother who had become an easy woman in bars ... Kurt had a deep respect for women and could not bear to see his mother being also open and choosing bad guys... She was irresponsible. Even if Kurt exaggerated, everything he did and what became of him was due to a profound lack of affection.
I read the same book and I feel so terrible for him he has never had it easy she caus all his pain they may have got on later but she planted those painful roots
Baby boomers are selfish, self-centered narcissists. She's like a lot of parents from that generation. Your kid is too active? Medicate him. Your life isn't perfect? Get a divorce.
Cobain's mom was an extreme narcissist and a user. Loser would some people say. You can tell just by this interview that she's not well. As a mom she'd be worshiped by Kurt for such traits. The marriage to Courtney thus was no accident.
Meh. I was kicked out repeatedly as a teen, abused mentally and physically, and my household was WW3 with cops at our house every week. I didn't wind up on heroin, neglect my kid(s) and kill myself. Stop idolizing Kurt and just recognize that he was a very flawed person who wrote good music. No one's fault but his own.
Maybe she was. I can see where she may have been distant, and being homeless sucks. Went through it myself...but at some point you have to be responsible for your own actions. Kurt's mom didn't make him shoot up, didn't make him an enthusiastic addict, and she didn't make him pull the trigger and abandon his family. Kurt used to be a hero to me in the 90's. I read every biography, watched every video, had every poster and CD including b-sides (back when you had to hunt them down). I guess at my age, I've started to see him a little differently than I used to. What changed my opinion? 1. The fact that he was a willing addict. I've seen interviews where people say he "loved" being an addict. He had no desire to stop. 2. Nodding off on heroin while holding his daughter and living in filth. 3. Killing himself when he had to know what affect that would have on his daughter. Those are the biggest things to me. As a father, I can't imagine doing that to my kids. Not seeking help for his addiction...instead embracing it. Killing himself. Neglecting her. How am I supposed to pity an adult man who did far worse to his daughter than his parents ever did to him?
Courtney was a reflection of his narcissist mother’s wound…we don’t just attract people randomly to our lives. Nothing compassionate or motherly about this woman, very dry, I can imagine how alienated Kurt must have felt in her presence. She seems disconnected from the emotional realm Kurt inherited her her hair, face shape and nose 👃🏻
"How long is this gonna take? It's better that I know." Seriously...she has better things to do than talk about her deceased son for a bit? There's just something cold about her. Geez....
If he had called her out, then the interview would be over. Let her tell her own version of the events. Anyone familiar with Kurt's life story can read between the lines, just like you have.
Kurt's mom reminds me of my own mother in the way where she can't help but to disparage and put down his father every chance she gets. I bet you that even though Kurt had his issues with his father, that he didn't appreciate that. It's a shame that she can't just leave her resentment at the door.
Yeah. That kind of behavior affects kids. I feel like parents are constantly underestimating their kids and assuming their kids don't pick up on stuff. Fighting in front of a baby, doing drugs behind a child's back or having an affair, insulting people, etc.
You can actually hear him talk about that in About a Son and read about it in his journals. He didn't like his mother doing that at all, it's on record !
There are the people who have a heart and intelligence to stay together and work things out, and there are the others. Kurts parents were just not mature and dull enough. Kurt suffered their stupidity.
My two cents is that Kurt repressed the anger at his mom bc it's his mom and guys tend to feel more sorry for their moms. I think Wendy didn't love Kurt and Kurt knew it but didn't want to say it because then it would be true. No mom who truly loves her son would kick him out into a storm and let him sleep in abandoned buildings and alleyways and on people's porches.She's a selfish woman who can't stop talking shit about Kurt's dad even after the poor guy's death
I agree, its cruel ,to kick someone out of the house just coz of not bejng able to graduate, moms are suppose to love unconditionally....you are suppose to support them even in their flaws, especially in their flaws......wendy is pretentious and your welcome wendy youre rich coz of your loser sons talent....you dont deserve it
he was scarred from the divorce. i know this all too well myself. i was told to just get over it. Kurt was damaged from his own broken home, and it takes a lifetime to come to terms with. and its the very thing this woman and my own parents completely ignore and don't even try to understand and especially take the blame for. small children never take divorce well. this lady doesn't have a clue who her own son was. she associates Kurt's personality from the ages of 5 through 10 for the rest of his life. it's ridiculous.
I was 2 months old when my parents separated. They were both remarried by the time I started retaining memory. I thought all families had 4 parents and split their time between both. I was ridiculed at school when I asked kids why they didn't have 4 parents. Then, at 6 years old, my stepfather almost murdered us. 51 years later, and I still have CPTSD.
Yes!! This is literally the exact thing I was thinking! He hated it all!! I would too! Courtney and his mom are two sickos feeding off his money and trying to train Frances but her soul has a knowledge.
It's really sad, but.....I have to admitt that now I understand why Wendy and Mrs Love were and still are friends: they're both narcisistic liars (poor Kurt......😫) Everyone knows that Wandy was homophobic (Kurt's words!!!) and she separeted Kurt from his gay friend (the first one who Kurt had found after years of partial isolation). What a shame! 😩
Wendy says she and Kurt were close friends but as you watch interviews with Tracey Marander she says "Kurt's relationship with his mother just started getting better" and he was about 20 when he lived with Tracey. And in Montage of Heck Kurt says the same at about 14 years old. So they always had problems in their relationships. I have no right to blame her but I believe she was always taking care of herself and her own private life. I'm a mother, too and I am terribly afraid of mistakes like Wendy's.😞
trying to understand the kurt situation is like investigating aliens. every question or clue only leads to more questions and confusion. and a question is answered w a question.
✨Yeeeaaa, see, this is what happens when someone dies. The people that were against you when you were alive, always play it off and lie and say how much best friends they were and making up a bunch of BS stories. Just like Courtney, blinking a lot and other body language that indicates that they are lying. I feel so bad for Kurt for these shitty people that was in his life and how they are even years after his death.✨
You're there to talk about your son who passed away & your first thoughts are concerns about how long the interview will be..that just sounds cold & distant. Then later you express how your son was your best friend. If I had the chance to talk about my best friend who was no longer with me my last thought would be about how long the interview would be. Unless the interviewer just rolled up by her door at random without her knowing the interview was gonna happen then I might see it a bit different but I'm sure she had to agree to everything before hand.
Tristan Affliction yeah man! I thought that too. She lies so much that she can't remember all of her lies. It's the same with Courtney. These videos make me angry.
Yeah. Most pathological liars are lol. I've been blessed and cursed, unfortunately with an eerie ability to see that in others--perhaps bc it is in myself--perhaps, too, bc I have a somewhat similar experience with my own family.
oh so this is his mother who threw him as a young teenager out of the house. who is now pretending she knew or cared about him at all. I think it's laughable to even interview her. I say she didn't give a shit about him before he became famous, lock her out after he became famous
She seems to be trying to re-write history. But what mother wouldn't want to whose son killed himself? And was so out of touch with her song? She didn't know he was bullied? WTF? Nice hairrrrcut tho... a real Nirvana cut...
His mom was to Busy of dating stupid guys in her young years that she for got about Kurt and in this video it looks to me that she doesn't know anything about her son
This woman abandoned her son. And after the divorce happened, Wendy was openly spiteful and hateful towards Don right in front of their children. She was in an abusive relationship and did nothing when Pat would criticize Kurt at every chance. Even calling him a fa***t. She was a bad mom.
@@Japathic No such source exists because he never said that in an interview. Just say you read it on Heavier than Heaven.. A book fraught with dishonesty
Listen to Paper Cuts to get an idea of where Kurt was with his mom around 20 years old. Maybe it wasn't autobiographical, but who knows. And it's totally possible to have an intense love/hate relationship, so there's that.
@@jamesjameson7635 It wasn't. >>>>This is based partly on a family who kept their kids locked up in the attic of their house in the band's hometown of Aberdeen. Kurt Cobain wrote the song after reading the story in the news. In a 1989 interview, he explained he actually knew one of the siblings: "His brother and sister were locked in a house and abused by their parents for years. They were treated as dogs for the first five or six years of their lives."
I have compassion for Wendy in that no one can be prepared for their child becoming a hugely significant figure and you then having to retrospectively justify every decision made in a life which you never thought would be so examined. But I'm curious at seeing on the top right the window of the Montage of Heck interview with Courtney Love and seeing superficially how similar Wendy and her look. I basically wonder if Kurt was trying to reproduce the broken childhood home with Courtney.
People recreate their bad childhoods with spouses, bosses, friends. It's part of the unconscious mind hoping to resolve the trauma and heal the past. Stupid when you think about it, but sources of trauma in childhood become sources of attraction in adulthood.
Wendy makes me Sick! Kurt grew up without the love of a stable home. He accomplished his success on his own. Wendy came knocking when he reached the 'star' level. No mother is perfect but be honest & own your mistakes instead of all the Fucking Excuses! I have researched a lot about wendy & the reason for there being NO interviews with her is because she fucked up. Kurt wanted a family & wendy gave up on him at such a young age that it had major effects on his self esteem. BEING BETRAYED OVER & OVER...
My Love we forgive And move on. A bad situation made Kurt cobain who he was. So her spot light was she was a fuck up and he became famous from it. That simple
I seen my mom do this when my older brother moved out - she clung and made up stories about him because she felt guilty about how she didn't know him at all while he was with her. Here, Wendy is constantly repeating how close her and Kurt were, which is a sign that she feels immensely guilty about how she could have been there for him more. All she is doing is repeating what Kurt had already said and putting "I already knew" in front of it - she did not know. Kurt was a complex child and clearly suffered a lot of childhood trauma, this is beyond evident in his music and drug addiction. Wendy needs to accept that she cannot pretend to know Kurt for the public eye, but she just doesn't want to seem like a bad mom. I feel she did try her best, given her situation and should forgive herself and move on - Kurt would want her to.
Yeah her repeating they were so close seems so dishonest. You just leave neglect your son you're SO CLOSE to? She treated him bad after the divorce according to others in his life, like she didn't care
Obviously she didn't "try her best", I mean, you yourself laid out the reasons she didn't. Let's call a spade a spade here, there's no reason to defend such a contemptible woman.
@@nickhartman6372 After her divorce, the lady got involved with a man who was beating her in her second engagement. She clearly had problems, so you couldn't expect more from a woman who couldn't even take care of herself. She did what she could at a time when there were not all the facilities there are for women today. She screwed up indeed, but you don't know her life story and you're not the one to judge whether or not she really did the best she could.
I just realized something! I notice that the mother and the sister quote phrases from a documentary about Kurt where he tells anecdotes. “kurt about a son “. curiously it seems that montage was an "imitation" with a better budget of “About a son”. (montage tells what Courtney wanted to be told) obviously
@@shaylastaniland2169 yes but she dumped him at his fathers and then he moved around to 10 other family members and she had enough of him so kicked him out he lived under a bridge and slept in hallways of hotels thats what something in the way is aboug
What I see is a mother who lost an opportunity to be with her son. I don't know what went between Wendy and Don, but I know that your bad experience with a spouse can destroy the relationship you have with the children you had with them. I think Wendy was ignoring or as most people like to say, neglecting Kurt because he reminded her of Don. Not that I think she wanted to but it can't be helped. I can see that she was touched to learn that Kurt was affected by the abuse she went through from her ex boyfriend. And she seems proud of it. But it's sad that Kurt didn't get to have a good relationship with his parents and it makes it sadder that he died the way he did.
She’s not maternal at all. She speaks like a narrator not a mother. She also kicked him out when he was a teen and I can’t understand that as a mother myself. You take the good with the bad in any relationship. This woman creeps me out.
Before we judge this women or question her let’s remember Kurt always kept contact with her and loved her. We all make mistakes but she was there for Kurt. Not perfect but did her best. No one could’ve saved Kurt and nothing could’ve changed the path he felt he was destined for
Sometimes i wonder if she ever heard any of his songs that he wrote or realize the lyrics of it .if she did , i don't think she would ever doing this stuffs
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling and complex illness. People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities.
You can love someone very much, but if you are depressed, and down on yourself, and deep in drugs you are not thinking in those terms...you are broken..if anything he loved Frances and Courtney more then himself.
Justmiss jamey Hierarchy. Men are in charge, then women, then children. Women's duties are to be pretty, teach the children, be fit, cook, clean, and entertain. Men's priority is to provide, protect, and set the standards for justice and truth. But maybe this is an outdated concept and men and women should just do whatever they want until we all die off and kill each other.
+Craig Harrison I think the people would still kill others even if it was like that. ..I think there should be balance, compromise, etc. I don't think one guy/girl is better then the other..some people have certain strengths and hopefully you find someone you fill in their weaknesses..no one is perfect, but as long as they're doing their best...I don't have kids, so I can not speak for raising them..but I think it's different for everyone ND their situation I guess
Why is nobody talking about that little pre-interview dialogue? When she doesn't think the cameras are rolling, that tone in her voice is just disgusting. Ladies and gentlemen: a narcissist.
She was ready to answer anything and share vital information with us. This is Kurt Cobain’s mother. The interviewer didn’t take advantage of the fact that this IS her only granted interview. He wasn’t prepared, these questions suck.
Reminds me of Layne Stayle's mother when she said that her kid just wanted to shout thats why he went into music. Like do you even kn ow your kid,ma'am...
"my mother died every night" I always what he meant by that line. Don beat her up? Or did Kurt mean situations like having an argument, ending with "you're dead for me"? Any guesses/opinions? Same goes for "the lady whom I feel maternal love for, cannot look me in the eyes" I generally think Kurt wrote a lot of "random lyrics", but I don't think you say something like that for no reason. Bc he surely was aware that those lines could hurt her.
Watch the interview of the ex teacher of Kurt's. When Kurt got kicked out by his parents, Kurt lived on the teacher's couch for a year. He said what a good kid he was, did all the chores, polite, packed up his sleeping bag each day. The teacher said in that year he never heard once from either Kurt's mother or father.
Where can i see that interveiw?

@@wombaterror it's not by Louis theroux it's Nick Broomfields work- Kurt and Courtney (1998).
When she started talking about Kurt's behaviour after his father left, the line from Serve The Servants ("I tried hard to have a father but instead I had a dad") came straight to my mind. I've always liked that line in this song.
she lied about being ok with being gay because kurt mentioned one time that he couldn't be friends with someone because his mom didn't like that fact that he was gay
Kurt could've lied about that, or she could've changed her mind by now. We don't know.
I think the reality of fame and fortune didn't meet his expectations. He said himself in an interview, if he had known it was like it was he wouldn't have wanted it.
Like a bunch of corporate assholes telling him who he could talk to, what he could do, where he could be at all times? Always ordering him around, controlling him and ruining some of his friendships? I'd bitch and complain too.
Yes, he did all that, and the result was not what he expected. Not every band (and I'd wager most bands) that sign contracts with DGC and MTV have to put up with what he did though. Do you realize how big Nirvana were? Listen, I get the impression you don't like Kurt or Nirvana, and that's fine, but you can still have a little empathy for him. He's a person just like you and I, we're not perfect, we make mistakes, sometimes we do stupid shit.
Brandon Gore I used to be obsessed w/ Nirvana. I just like Krist & Dave now. The older I get, the less I like Kurt.
Wendy herself said she got married young to a man she didn't love. A lot of her own anger was projected onto Kurt for being the constant reminder of Donald. That left Kurt with a void, always trying to distance himself from Don.
It's not the child's fault you didn't get to fulfill all your dreams and aspirations, Wendy!
Yeah stupid wendy
She is so unemotional! Cold woman... I never saw a tear in her eyes. Dave G ones said that “ Kurt doesn’t have a family” …. And Dave prove it when his mom, Mrs. Grohl joined them to the tour on Foo Fighters 🎶. (It doesn’t matter if Kurt’s mom is German, the pain of a mother is a pain of a mother everywhere in the world no matter how nationality she is.) 🤷🏼♀️
She is German his father bloodline was Irish

Total opposite of Katherine Jackson.
At least she held Frances down. Her childhood could have been much worse....
I find Krist was more affected by Kurt passing than his mother
Also Krist cares a lot of Kurt more than his mother which is sad that your own mother doesn't care about their own son less than your best friend
Still is.
Unfortunetly that was his life. He had only 2 friends Dave and Krist. His mother probably hated him (he dropped out of school) and his dad was pushed away from kurt by his mother, and she shoved into their lives a step father....
That shows you that blood is not always THICKER than water.
Probably Krste was the only true friend of Kurt,He saw all the Highs and Lows,and the most Important thing is he stay away from heroin.
Everyone connected with Kurt in his family is in denial, its human nature, I think Kurt suffered 'childhood emotional neglect'. Kurt was very sensitive. All the numbing with drugs etc...
Dust Particles I agree. Add to that that he was a truly a very sensitive type of person that the emotional neglect he seemed to have endured would of had a huge impact on him. I think it was the root cause of his depression and addiction. If you read about childhood emotional neglect, it does seem to fit or somewhat explain the troubles he had growing up and as an adult. Parents need to tell and demonstrate to their children how much they are loved and cherished. This does not spoil a child. It instead instills a healthy self esteem or self love, resiliency, inner peace, and happiness within, which in turn positively guides that child thruout their childhood, adolescence and adulthood. I’m not sure Kurt Cobain’s parents provided this unconditional, supportive, demonstrative love towards him. That said, we will never know for sure the source(s) of his profound unhappiness that ultimately led to drug addiction and suicide. All of this is only my opinion. I’m not blaming anyone for anything because it’s simply impossible for any outsider to know or really understand this complex man and his unique situation now that he’s gone. It’s very, very sad though. That we can be certain of.
He was gay that's all
@@shaylastaniland2169 And that's how you let everyone know you are ignorant and not worth talking to in one comment...

One time Kurt;s dad turned up out of the blue to a concert, his mum also happened to turn up. Instead of focusing on their son, the two of them got in a huge fight backstage, poor Kurt. No wonder he barely spoke to them any more.
Yeah the key words here are "happened to" ....
No.. his mom was already there, and his dad and half brother showed up, and he talked his way backstage because he was a cop, and he said some shit like, How are you, Grandma, because she was holding his daughter, and Cobain said, don’t fucking talk to her like that, then everyone left the room and the first words out of his mouth to his dad were Jeez, You’re old, or some shit. It’s in the book.
God is good. Repent and believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. You can be forgiven. You must be born again. There was a woman who had an alabaster box of very precious ointment and she poured it on the head of Jesus. We need to honour the King. The Lord God. ”that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.“
John 3:15 KJV. The Lord Jesus Christ. Repent means change, change from sin. Turn away from sin. Love and fear God. Call on the name of Jesus Christ. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. He saved me. There is the lake of fire which is burning for eternity and there is heaven. I have eternal life in heaven because of what the Lord has done. Be ready for the day of judgement.
Yeah I feel Don didn’t get a fair shake. Calling her Grandma was endearing? He had social issues it seems, probably why his father is misunderstood. But in Montage, Wendy (RIP) still rips on Don in present day. Why? Let go, it’s many decades since. Can he do no right? Can’t stand how ex wives/gf’s are bitter and won’t let go of trivial mistakes from youth.
Kurt was so different much more emotional.Seems like he was surrounded by cold hearted people in his closest environment
I guess it's why steve Albini asked to cut contact with the outside world and described their entourage as "the biggest pile of shit i ever met"
Bingo - glad someone on this page gets it.
I watched this, and I don't know what to think about her. I am probably wrong but she makes me feel like she didn't knew him as much as she's trying to pretend.She was the one who kicked Kurt out of her house, he had to lived at so much different places; uncles, grandparents, with his father and finally He was living with a friend and his family for not just some days, or months, but about some years.
Also, the father of his friend always said, that the mother of Kurt had never called him, never tried to see him,that Kurt had no contact with his mother at all! Even if his mother's house was very close to this house Kurt was living in, sleeping on a couch.
She looks like Courtney here!
Kurt said his family including his mother would continually scoff at his music interests, and wondered when he was going to get a real job. He even wrote a song about it "scoff". Disingenuous people, they didn't believe his music was going to go anywhere, and was surprised just like the rest of us when it exploded.
I think you're assuming that Scoff was written about that
I mean to be fair, that is the responsible attitude to have. Before Nirvana got big, Kurt was literally a bum. He lived off of Tracy Marander for a few years and before that he lived in basically a crack-den with Matt Lukin lol. IT worked out for him but there was no reason to really think it was going to. Plenty of talented songwriters never make it, and have to settle for blue-collar jobs like the rest of us.
@@headcreeps2138 I do, too.
@@pipn9090 yeah but his own parents, it’s a little different
@@PiedPooper-gh6cn it couldve more easily went the other way for kurt. it was support from people like krist and his girlfriend, being in the right place in the right time, and obviously his talent and look that helped him rise above everyone else. theres tons of underground bands that are working regular jobs that are just as good as nirvana.
Maybe Cobain had more to do with her than his "cold" father, but for what i read in many books and stories - even some Cobain own statements - she behave really badly in Kurt's teenage years. Lack of love deeply affected him.
Tomás Orellana bruh his dad was actually a decent guy it was his mother who broke him...his best friend was gay and his mom wouldn’t let them both hang out and she kick Kurt out when he was 14 something about not working and going to school...bitch his only 14!
@@TougeWarrior93 Yeah, i mean Kurt didin't had kindred spirits with his dad, he was negligent and not very affectionate. But, his mother gave a bigger hard time during his teenage years. She was sort of inmature and hurtful towards him, and their boyfriends after the divorce were total dickheads. Kurt hated them.
Kurt and Donald were both emotionally abused by Wendy. She comes across as very sociopathic and cold. No genuine empathy or remorse.

Wendy hasn't got an ounce of time for Kurt in her head space. She even struggles to think about him without a comparison to her other children. How can she speak about him like he was just a boy she knew vaguely? He was her only son and he died age 27 and she can speak about him without tearing up. She was neglectful maternally and I don't think she even cares.
Spot on! Even Krist and Dave are more affected
she has no real love for him. it seems fake and superficial when the camera is rolling. she neglected him as a child and couldn't understand him as an adult. she sounds like she's trying to act concerned, like fake concern. it's sad because he was her only son that died tragically, and she doesn't seem deeply affected by it at all. not like a mother who cares
I wouldn’t be able to hold a tear back if I was speaking about my dead son.... this woman didn’t love her son. Just like his father she blamed him...
Well you’re not her and she’s not you
After decades of years… you’d still cry? After being asked about your dead son a zillion times everywhere you went you really think you’d CRY …EVERY TIME he came up? You don’t think after all the times & all the years that you’d at some point come to accept your sons death & not only that but that you’d learn how to speak about him without 😫😭😩😰 crying? Really?..
You’re an idiot; an idiot who speaks a little too matter-of-factly for only pretending to have put yourself in another persons shoes as if it wasn’t obvious you thought doing so would make you appear empathetically in-touch &therefore somehow make you look like you actually had a point.
When really you did nothing more than watch a documentary; a documentary of a false narrative based off a false narrative.
One that’s entire reason for being created in the 1st place was to smash the truth back into submission. You willingly watched garbage & just as it was intended for you to do so you’ve adapted the very garbage outlook you now possess - all in the name of some garbage persons entitlement. That space in your mind otherwise designated for free thought is the very space this documentary sought to occupy. And as far as the makers of the documentary are concerned - you’re a success story. Your ignorant response is exactly the reason for the making of the documentary. And it seems a happy ending; People like you get to keep on going not thinking for yourselves & Courtney Love gets to keep on going spending all Kurt Cobains money on self-concerned CRAP like this.
Courtney Love took advantage of those wanting to make money just as much as they took advantage of her reasoning. They could care less about her reasoning just like she could care less that they were cashing in off Kurt’s families private business. It was a typical narcissist reaction to the film released before this “Soaked in Bleach.”
You’re pathetic.
What?? She's just a strong old fashioned woman who may not like to show her emotions especially in a film for the whole world to see. She said, Kurt and herself they were best friends before the divorce. I believe that. I think Kurt loved his Mom and she loved him, she seemed like she really wanted to encourage him in his love of the arts. I get angry with my Mom because she can be so cold and emotionally flat at times, since my brother passed away from suicide she never cries, I cry all the time about it, even though it was 3 yrs ago. Trauma stays with you though and I bet in private this woman has shed tears for her son . Maybe she was still kind of in denial about the whole thing. but it seems like she wanted what was best for Kurt. Men tend to look for a woman like their mother when it comes to finding a mate, and he found that in Courtney. Courtney is not a monster either, all of these people have mental health issues, ok? God, people are so cruel, what a thing to say that she didn't cry during the interview, that doesn't mean she didn't love him. My heart goes out to her and Courtney, Kurt was a handful, neither wanted to see him suffer. Mental illness is something that a lot of people cannot understand until it affects them personally. It ran in Kurt's family, same with mine. Don't judge her so harshly.
You expect her to be sobbing 20 yrs later?? She is trying to answer the questions with some thought. She is where Kurt got his intelligence from.Due to this mom he was a real feminist. He had seem men say innaproppiate things to her on the street, she was a very pretty woman. He didn't like it & that is why he never spoke ill about Courtney. Even when he saw who she really was, a violent, fake goldigger, he never told the press. If he had made that loud & clear, there would have been less of a chance she would have him offed.
I got that too
Kurts band mates were more affected by his death than she was.
Cold, hard hearted women. Her disinterest in Kurt was the root of his issues.
She loved him only when he was a little baby and after he died. In the middle she preffered the guys she dated and lovers.
His Mom wanted to come along when it was convenient for her and served a purpose. Especially when he passed away, she was REALLY around. Gosh I wonder why? 😳🤔🙄
@@Christieinthejourney cos her son had died....
she reminds me of Courtney Love.
Dang, the similarities tho
Courtney Love looks a lot like her. I'm impressed
I read Kurt's biography and this woman - who was her mother - made her suffer a lot. She caused the divorce with her father - Don -. She went out with many young people, violent people. Sometimes she slept with Kurt's friends and drink. Then she caused a divorce by putting herself with a man who earned a lot of money but was already married. He was violent with her and Kurt. She wanted to kill him but retracted to marry him a few years later. Kurt was tossed from family to family, without love and without reference. He was twisted but after reading this book I realized that his parents had broken his life, and then continued.
He wanted a stable life, with a laid family, but he had just the opposite. He could not bear the lightness of his mother who had become an easy woman in bars ... Kurt had a deep respect for women and could not bear to see his mother being also open and choosing bad guys...
She was irresponsible. Even if Kurt exaggerated, everything he did and what became of him was due to a profound lack of affection.
Eleanor Brooklyn She slept with Kurts friends ?
@@wonka4 Yes !

What kind of mother kicks their teenage son out of her house? I don't trust her at all
Baby boomers are selfish, self-centered narcissists. She's like a lot of parents from that generation. Your kid is too active? Medicate him. Your life isn't perfect? Get a divorce.
Cobain's mom was an extreme narcissist and a user. Loser would some people say. You can tell just by this interview that she's not well. As a mom she'd be worshiped by Kurt for such traits. The marriage to Courtney thus was no accident.
My mom
Meh. I was kicked out repeatedly as a teen, abused mentally and physically, and my household was WW3 with cops at our house every week. I didn't wind up on heroin, neglect my kid(s) and kill myself. Stop idolizing Kurt and just recognize that he was a very flawed person who wrote good music. No one's fault but his own.
Maybe she was. I can see where she may have been distant, and being homeless sucks. Went through it myself...but at some point you have to be responsible for your own actions. Kurt's mom didn't make him shoot up, didn't make him an enthusiastic addict, and she didn't make him pull the trigger and abandon his family. Kurt used to be a hero to me in the 90's. I read every biography, watched every video, had every poster and CD including b-sides (back when you had to hunt them down).
I guess at my age, I've started to see him a little differently than I used to. What changed my opinion?
1. The fact that he was a willing addict. I've seen interviews where people say he "loved" being an addict. He had no desire to stop.
2. Nodding off on heroin while holding his daughter and living in filth.
3. Killing himself when he had to know what affect that would have on his daughter.
Those are the biggest things to me. As a father, I can't imagine doing that to my kids. Not seeking help for his addiction...instead embracing it. Killing himself. Neglecting her. How am I supposed to pity an adult man who did far worse to his daughter than his parents ever did to him?
Every part of his life had significant impact in who he was.
Courtney was a reflection of his narcissist mother’s wound…we don’t just attract people randomly to our lives.
Nothing compassionate or motherly about this woman, very dry, I can imagine how alienated Kurt must have felt in her presence. She seems disconnected from the emotional realm
Kurt inherited her her hair, face shape and nose 👃🏻
there's something not quite right with her
I know, she looks like coutney but,
Nevermind
Pretty hard when we all know that he got killed.
"How long is this gonna take? It's better that I know." Seriously...she has better things to do than talk about her deceased son for a bit? There's just something cold about her. Geez....
Just shows you how lousy she was, why would kurt hate her ,and now she enjoys kurts money
I'm astounded by her resemblance to Courtney!!
She creeps me out.
Agreed.
He blew his brains out...
its obvious she's in denial and Brett's a mediocre interviewer, he doesnt question any of the bs they say in this movie
If he had called her out, then the interview would be over. Let her tell her own version of the events. Anyone familiar with Kurt's life story can read between the lines, just like you have.
He was picked by Courtney, for obvious reasons
Kurt's mom reminds me of my own mother in the way where she can't help but to disparage and put down his father every chance she gets. I bet you that even though Kurt had his issues with his father, that he didn't appreciate that. It's a shame that she can't just leave her resentment at the door.
Each case is different,i understand her!
Yeah. That kind of behavior affects kids. I feel like parents are constantly underestimating their kids and assuming their kids don't pick up on stuff. Fighting in front of a baby, doing drugs behind a child's back or having an affair, insulting people, etc.
You can actually hear him talk about that in About a Son and read about it in his journals. He didn't like his mother doing that at all, it's on record !
Imsuchaliar Yeah, I do remember something like that from About a Son. Haven't seen that in 5 years. I'll have to watch it again.
There are the people who have a heart and intelligence to stay together and work things out, and there are the others. Kurts parents were just not mature and dull enough. Kurt suffered their stupidity.
She talks about Kurt like he was a stranger, not so much like a Mom…..to me.
I get that vibe too, kids seen not heard
I hate that I feel like this, but I feel like she is being dishonest.
My two cents is that Kurt repressed the anger at his mom bc it's his mom and guys tend to feel more sorry for their moms. I think Wendy didn't love Kurt and Kurt knew it but didn't want to say it because then it would be true. No mom who truly loves her son would kick him out into a storm and let him sleep in abandoned buildings and alleyways and on people's porches.She's a selfish woman who can't stop talking shit about Kurt's dad even after the poor guy's death
I agree, its cruel ,to kick someone out of the house just coz of not bejng able to graduate, moms are suppose to love unconditionally....you are suppose to support them even in their flaws, especially in their flaws......wendy is pretentious and your welcome wendy youre rich coz of your loser sons talent....you dont deserve it
he was scarred from the divorce. i know this all too well myself. i was told to just get over it. Kurt was damaged from his own broken home, and it takes a lifetime to come to terms with. and its the very thing this woman and my own parents completely ignore and don't even try to understand and especially take the blame for. small children never take divorce well. this lady doesn't have a clue who her own son was. she associates Kurt's personality from the ages of 5 through 10 for the rest of his life. it's ridiculous.
I was 2 months old when my parents separated. They were both remarried by the time I started retaining memory. I thought all families had 4 parents and split their time between both. I was ridiculed at school when I asked kids why they didn't have 4 parents. Then, at 6 years old, my stepfather almost murdered us. 51 years later, and I still have CPTSD.
Kurt was certainly not lucky with the kind of women in his life.
Only Frances and only her daughter
God, she's just like Courtney
Courtney is the american version of his irish mother

Yes!! This is literally the exact thing I was thinking! He hated it all!! I would too! Courtney and his mom are two sickos feeding off his money and trying to train Frances but her soul has a knowledge.
It's really sad, but.....I have to admitt that now I understand why Wendy and Mrs Love were and still are friends: they're both narcisistic liars (poor Kurt......😫) Everyone knows that Wandy was homophobic (Kurt's words!!!) and she separeted Kurt from his gay friend (the first one who Kurt had found after years of partial isolation). What a shame! 😩
She still has so much anger towards her ex. It's no good when someone gets caught up in that war for too long
so this was the circle... From one narcissist to another and there was no escape for him, only heroin just to forget the pain
I don't believe they was so close
Wendy says she and Kurt were close friends but as you watch interviews with Tracey Marander she says "Kurt's relationship with his mother just started getting better" and he was about 20 when he lived with Tracey. And in Montage of Heck Kurt says the same at about 14 years old. So they always had problems in their relationships. I have no right to blame her but I believe she was always taking care of herself and her own private life. I'm a mother, too and I am terribly afraid of mistakes like Wendy's.😞
Why is she sitting there like she was even a remotely decent mother and as if she’s a star. She’s failed him as a mother
Kurt was murdered, his so called friends failed him.
Kurt sure did marry his mother
Such ashame Kurt is not here to defend himself.

'we talked all the time'-bullshit
✨Yeeeaaa, see, this is what happens when someone dies. The people that were against you when you were alive, always play it off and lie and say how much best friends they were and making up a bunch of BS stories. Just like Courtney, blinking a lot and other body language that indicates that they are lying. I feel so bad for Kurt for these shitty people that was in his life and how they are even years after his death.✨
Somebody pointed out that if C. was off drugs she would resemble her. I 100% agree
Facts
people only respect dead people... That hurts as hell
You're there to talk about your son who passed away & your first thoughts are concerns about how long the interview will be..that just sounds cold & distant. Then later you express how your son was your best friend. If I had the chance to talk about my best friend who was no longer with me my last thought would be about how long the interview would be. Unless the interviewer just rolled up by her door at random without her knowing the interview was gonna happen then I might see it a bit different but I'm sure she had to agree to everything before hand.
Tristan Affliction yeah man! I thought that too. She lies so much that she can't remember all of her lies. It's the same with Courtney. These videos make me angry.

Yeah. Most pathological liars are lol. I've been blessed and cursed, unfortunately with an eerie ability to see that in others--perhaps bc it is in myself--perhaps, too, bc I have a somewhat similar experience with my own family.
A liar like Courtney! "We were so close".
oh so this is his mother who threw him as a young teenager out of the house. who is now pretending she knew or cared about him at all. I think it's laughable to even interview her. I say she didn't give a shit about him before he became famous, lock her out after he became famous
K. H. She's his mother - she obviously cares but she might have not been a very good mother. Who are you to judge.
@Pigeonlvbrd And who are you to make assumptions? People will have their opinions. We ALL don't know the true story including you
She seems to be trying to re-write history. But what mother wouldn't want to whose son killed himself? And was so out of touch with her song? She didn't know he was bullied? WTF?

She didint care when he needed her the most, but then when her dead son is famous "wE WeRe sO CLosE!1! 1"
His mom was to Busy of dating stupid guys in her young years that she for got about Kurt and in this video it looks to me that she doesn't know anything about her son
This woman abandoned her son. And after the divorce happened, Wendy was openly spiteful and hateful towards Don right in front of their children. She was in an abusive relationship and did nothing when Pat would criticize Kurt at every chance. Even calling him a fa***t. She was a bad mom.

@@jamesjameson7635 It wasn't.
>>>>This is based partly on a family who kept their kids locked up in the attic of their house in the band's hometown of Aberdeen. Kurt Cobain wrote the song after reading the story in the news. In a 1989 interview, he explained he actually knew one of the siblings: "His brother and sister were locked in a house and abused by their parents for years. They were treated as dogs for the first five or six years of their lives."
I have compassion for Wendy in that no one can be prepared for their child becoming a hugely significant figure and you then having to retrospectively justify every decision made in a life which you never thought would be so examined. But I'm curious at seeing on the top right the window of the Montage of Heck interview with Courtney Love and seeing superficially how similar Wendy and her look. I basically wonder if Kurt was trying to reproduce the broken childhood home with Courtney.
Yes!!! And he got exactly the same thing(((
People recreate their bad childhoods with spouses, bosses, friends. It's part of the unconscious mind hoping to resolve the trauma and heal the past. Stupid when you think about it, but sources of trauma in childhood become sources of attraction in adulthood.
Wendy makes me Sick! Kurt grew up without the love of a stable home. He accomplished his success on his own. Wendy came knocking when he reached the 'star' level. No mother is perfect but be honest & own your mistakes instead of all the Fucking Excuses! I have researched a lot about wendy & the reason for there being NO interviews with her is because she fucked up. Kurt wanted a family & wendy gave up on him at such a young age that it had major effects on his self esteem. BEING BETRAYED OVER & OVER...
My Love we forgive And move on. A bad situation made Kurt cobain who he was. So her spot light was she was a fuck up and he became famous from it. That simple
A pathological liar that uses incredibly creepy, unnerving language.
She's hiding a lot of baggage that would bring to light many resounding truths.
I seen my mom do this when my older brother moved out - she clung and made up stories about him because she felt guilty about how she didn't know him at all while he was with her. Here, Wendy is constantly repeating how close her and Kurt were, which is a sign that she feels immensely guilty about how she could have been there for him more. All she is doing is repeating what Kurt had already said and putting "I already knew" in front of it - she did not know. Kurt was a complex child and clearly suffered a lot of childhood trauma, this is beyond evident in his music and drug addiction. Wendy needs to accept that she cannot pretend to know Kurt for the public eye, but she just doesn't want to seem like a bad mom. I feel she did try her best, given her situation and should forgive herself and move on - Kurt would want her to.
Yeah her repeating they were so close seems so dishonest. You just leave neglect your son you're SO CLOSE to? She treated him bad after the divorce according to others in his life, like she didn't care
Obviously she didn't "try her best", I mean, you yourself laid out the reasons she didn't. Let's call a spade a spade here, there's no reason to defend such a contemptible woman.
@@nickhartman6372 After her divorce, the lady got involved with a man who was beating her in her second engagement.

She screwed up indeed, but you don't know her life story and you're not the one to judge whether or not she really did the best she could.
Well she’s passed away now … 2021
Classic narcissism.
I just realized something! I notice that the mother and the sister quote phrases from a documentary about Kurt where he tells anecdotes. “kurt about a son “. curiously it seems that montage was an "imitation" with a better budget of “About a son”. (montage tells what Courtney wanted to be told) obviously
mom and dad went to a show, they dropped me off at grampa jones.-kurt cobain
kicked and screamed said please don't go
grandma take me home
hahaha
"grandpa Joe's"
Grandma take me hoome
I don’t know why but I feel like there’s something odd about his mom I don’t know why
DAMN !!! She looks like Courtney love!!
She does so much!!
did this woman ever meet Kurt Cobain?
@Andy Brookie throwed? lol jesus
Andy Brookie like she lived with him 1st hand and you read from a book idiot
Brian Williams fuck off
@@shaylastaniland2169 yes but she dumped him at his fathers and then he moved around to 10 other family members and she had enough of him so kicked him out he lived under a bridge and slept in hallways of hotels thats what something in the way is aboug
Robyn Edwards so what we only know bits from what Kurt has said but his mum knows the truth, she is his mother still
he saw his mom in Courtney. aww men fall in lobe with their mothers.
Very sad
I watched the interview of Courtney before this one and noticed exactly that! They are soo much alike which really sucked for Kurt
no his attraction was for a woman not at all like his mother, dark haired exotic beauty. Courtney was gross in his eyes.
Yeah, another fake blonde narcissist.
actually....they are really alike. they way they answer questions, sort of to hear themselves talk and amuse themselves. you know?
Imagine if Kurt’s dad told his mom he loved her during their marriage we might not have any Nirvana music.
What I see is a mother who lost an opportunity to be with her son.
I don't know what went between Wendy and Don, but I know that your bad experience with a spouse can destroy the relationship you have with the children you had with them.
I think Wendy was ignoring or as most people like to say, neglecting Kurt because he reminded her of Don. Not that I think she wanted to but it can't be helped.
I can see that she was touched to learn that Kurt was affected by the abuse she went through from her ex boyfriend. And she seems proud of it.
But it's sad that Kurt didn't get to have a good relationship with his parents and it makes it sadder that he died the way he did.
She’s not maternal at all. She speaks like a narrator not a mother. She also kicked him out when he was a teen and I can’t understand that as a mother myself. You take the good with the bad in any relationship. This woman creeps me out.
Remember, she did the same with her husband. She easly pushes people away if she has a bad day
@@crowzreal Borderline Narcissist
Instinct tells me she is painting a picture of some one else here .
Not always easy to get to the deep truth.
I hate listening to her. Portraying like she was a good mother to him. There's nothing truth in her stories.
Before we judge this women or question her let’s remember Kurt always kept contact with her and loved her. We all make mistakes but she was there for Kurt. Not perfect but did her best. No one could’ve saved Kurt and nothing could’ve changed the path he felt he was destined for
Why is there no any interviews by Kurt's dad? Is he alive?
th-cam.com/video/7BZv-00G-KQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t7Iqczq0Wkb9ujSj
his interview is on the link.
She is gone,I hope you have peace,may your spirit go on
Sometimes i wonder if she ever heard any of his songs that he wrote or realize the lyrics of it .if she did , i don't think she would ever doing this stuffs
Gosh he was looking for a mother ...
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling and complex illness. People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities.
Remember that this was the woman that dropped Kurt at grandpa Joe's...
You date people who remind you about your parent with whom you have a shaky relationship (subconsciously) to redo it.
she made his father out to be such an asshole but he did more for him than she did
yep. sometimes you can see honesty in someone's eyes and i have that feeling with kurt's dad.
She knew so much about Kurt yet, where was she when Kurt was couch hopping?!!!! Alone with nobody but strangers. *Just no*
i dont want to disparage someones mother, but i could.
This interview makes me love Kurt even more. He was one of a kind.
Seems that she never loved him! However,Rest in peace ,Kurt !
The only love kurt felt was toward his daughter.and the only person he felt close felt close to.
no he didn't otherwise he wouldn't have left her to put himself out of his misery
You can love someone very much, but if you are depressed, and down on yourself, and deep in drugs you are not thinking in those terms...you are broken..if anything he loved Frances and Courtney more then himself.
Interesting....what do you see as "core traditions??"

Hierarchy. Men are in charge, then women, then children. Women's duties are to be pretty, teach the children, be fit, cook, clean, and entertain. Men's priority is to provide, protect, and set the standards for justice and truth. But maybe this is an outdated concept and men and women should just do whatever they want until we all die off and kill each other.
+Craig Harrison I think the people would still kill others even if it was like that. ..I think there should be balance, compromise, etc. I don't think one guy/girl is better then the other..some people have certain strengths and hopefully you find someone you fill in their weaknesses..no one is perfect, but as long as they're doing their best...I don't have kids, so I can not speak for raising them..but I think it's different for everyone ND their situation I guess
Why is nobody talking about that little pre-interview dialogue? When she doesn't think the cameras are rolling, that tone in her voice is just disgusting. Ladies and gentlemen: a narcissist.
I feel that the Kurt's stepmother more care then this women (she's like Courtney)
She was ready to answer anything and share vital information with us. This is Kurt Cobain’s mother. The interviewer didn’t take advantage of the fact that this IS her only granted interview. He wasn’t prepared, these questions suck.
its funny how she is pretty similar to courtney because of the looks and also intelligence, energy and humor :)
Every one makes mistakes as a parent, I'm just glad i was a in my 30s when I became one
Sliver song told everything about Kurt's family relationships
Brett Morgan is a terrible interviewer.
he only cared about pleasing that cunt C. Love
Yeah, he made the film only to show Kurt suicidal.
"... and then he just startet getting more calm" -- well yeah, you divorced his dad and gave him Ritalin
They talk about Kurt very young but nothing about him in his 20's or teens
Kicked her own son out aged 9! Real nice mom.
CANT imagine where Kurt would learn how to speak out of both sides of his mouth.
“Artists just dont get enough sleep”
😂 nothing to do with the fact that Kurt had multiple illnesses
Reminds me of Layne Stayle's mother when she said that her kid just wanted to shout thats why he went into music. Like do you even kn ow your kid,ma'am...
Can't believe she died 3 years ago after all this time, RIP.
eye language... and...BOOM !!!
"my mother died every night" I always what he meant by that line. Don beat her up? Or did Kurt mean situations like having an argument, ending with "you're dead for me"? Any guesses/opinions?
Same goes for "the lady whom I feel maternal love for, cannot look me in the eyes"
I generally think Kurt wrote a lot of "random lyrics", but I don't think you say something like that for no reason. Bc he surely was aware that those lines could hurt her.
