Do you think Courtney added to the journals she sold?

I haven't read them myself, I kind of want to but it's sort of an invasion of privacy and I don't want her getting any royalties. I read on another discussion thread that if you read his journals, he was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. He didn't seem like a ticking time bomb, and I get the impression that Courtney just added some things to make him seem crazy and suicidal. In Montage of Heck it showed a passage about how people want him to overdose, shoot himself and some other method of death that I can't remember, or 'all three at once'. And then he ends up allegedly doing two of those things at once. Seems a little convenient. I know Sly Vapping Guy has mentioned numerous times that Courtney had a history of forging his writing (other than the suicide note).

100% believe she altered and/or fabricated entire passages. At one time I posted a link to the note she forged in Kurt's handwriting to Krist in order to try to get him to quit the band.

I too will never read them. Even if they contain genuine passages Kurt wrote, it was his own personal journal and he never meant it to see the light of day.

Yeah, he had a journal stolen when he was still around and he was quoted as saying he felt like he had been raped. Then his widow goes and makes millions selling them.

Ok, I read it. I didn't exactly want to, but someone who knows I'm obsessed with this subject surprised me with it as a gift. A couple of notes-

The very fist page reads 'Don't read my diary when Im gone'. And then right under that, in different looking writing, 'OK, Im going to work now, when you wake up this morning, please read my diary. Look through my things, and figure me out.' Who ever wants people to read their diary?

One of the very fist things included (on page 15 of 286) is a note to a Dave (no last name) about how he's fired from being their drummer. Apparently this was written to Dave Foster (it's from 1988). But why even include that? People who don't know much about the band or don't Google it are just going to assume it was for Dave Grohl.

Pg. 110 'I like the comfort in knowing that women are the only future in rock and roll.'

People think when Kurt says in videos late in his life that he was finally prescribed the right medication to cure his stomach ailment, he's talking about heroin. But he actually identifies it as Buprenorphine and says 'Ive been on an incresingly smaller dose of it for nine months and havent had a single stomach episode since.'

He says 'Hope I die before I turn into Pete Tonshend' at the bottom of one entry and this phrase is repeated at the top of another entry for seemingly no reason. Makes it look like it was put there to remind people he said something about wanting to die.

That is all.
