Considering what they have been through it is not for anyone else to as if jinx or place judgement on what is none of their business. Hoping they are ok.

parenthood doesnt come with an instruction manual. But Ms. Love ,well, that goes with the saying "why does god give certain people children? anyway?" Its good that her daughter is a level headed young lady. Perhaps she's one of few who learns by others mistakes. Courtney is a no talent junkie and cant even take care of herself, and I wont even get into the lost of Kurt issue.

They only disappear for that instant...if you come back to the page they're there again. I don't get the point of that at all. I don't think AOL gives a crap to tell you the truth.

Not defending Courtney Love here, as Lord knows she is no Donna Reed -- but Cobain's realtives taking custody of this girl at 17? Hmmm...wonder if the daughter has access to that "trust fund" when she is 18? I'm just sayin.....

Frances Bean Cobain should find a lawyer and sue her Aunt and Grandmother to be free of them, too.

I have reported these annoying ads and sent complaints via Feedback at top right over and over. Have you noticed that even when they FINALLY get around to doing anything that they leave the website and something about the product?
