Cobain: Montage of Heck Page #2

---

You know, jumping off of things,

knocking things over...

Anything that had to do

with being a normal child.

And Don,

he didn't know how to handle that.

He was one of those

kind of people

that just thought that children

should be seen and not heard

and shouldn't cause

any trouble.

I mean,

he belittled and ridiculed Kurt

and Kurt would be shamed.

Inside me...

I mean,

it really hurt him to be embarrassed.

Then, I don't know.

I just...

I started to mature.

You know,

I started getting older

and kind of looking back at...

Kind of the song...

It may have even stirred this in me,

"Is this all there is?"

You know, is this my life?

I haven't done anything

with my life.

In those days,

people didn't get divorced.

I mean, I didn't know

anybody that was divorced.

You just...

You were in the soup.

You didn't think about divorce.

Kurt was nine at the time,

and everybody

was talking about it.

It just embarrassed

him to death

that we had gotten divorced.

He took light bulbs

out of all the lights

and would lock the babysitter in,

came outside

and just became really unruly.

And I said,

"This is not going to happen anymore."

And so I took him over

to his dad's house.

She couldn't handle him...

So I took him.

I liked it, really,

you know, having him,

him and I together like that.

And I think there's one thing

that I said at one time,

that I was never gonna

get married again.

And I think he took that

for a word.

Then I met Jennifer

and we got married,

and, you know,

he had a stepbrother and sister

and then our son Chad.

He wanted to be in a family,

period.

And I felt that

just from the beginning.

The game nights that we had,

that was really

important to him.

You know, we didn't want to

do it on a Wednesday night.

You know, he'd say,

"Nope, we have to. That's what we..."

Just I could feel that he

really liked that time,

but he always wanted to win.

And if he didn't win,

he was mad.

He wanted to be the most loved,

and it just wasn't

the ideal world

that he thought

a family should be.

So he just decided

he wasn't going to do

anything anybody said.

He'd just lay on the couch

and watch TV,

go down in his room

and play the guitar.

And then he started just doing

really mean things to the kids,

and then it just got so...

I think it was kind of

my fault in a way,

because I couldn't

deal with it anymore.

And I told Don

he's going to have

to get out of the house.

He went to Wendy's

brother's for a while,

then with my mom and dad.

He lived with them for a while.

You know, then come back to us

and still have problems.

It was like nobody...

After a couple weeks,
