Filed under 'Frances Bean Cobain'

Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Courtney Love and grunge rocker Kurt Cobain, turned 18 on Wednesday (August 18). But instead of sweet mother-daughter birthday sentiments, E! reports that Courtney had some harsh words for her daughter on Thursday.

In a series of Twitter postings, Courtney accuses her daughter of, among other things, destroying what she'd worked for. "youve done a damned good job frances of destroying anything i could build," read one Tweet. "Why would you leave me and my life in tatters like this" reads another.

Courtney goes on to accuse Frances of ruining her life. "was that therapist right? Why do you want to ruin my personal life?"

But in a complete about-face, within minutes Courtney was Tweeting about missing her daughter. "I long for your kiss and your sweet head smell, I long for you I ache for you I die for you every day," she wrote.

The two have been waging a public war since late last year, when Courtney's unstable conduct cost her guardianship of Frances.

Following in her parents’ creative footsteps, Frances Bean Cobain – daughter of Hole singer Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain – is taking the art community by storm as she debuts her “ghoulish” collection of sketches at Los Angeles’ La Luz de Jesus gallery in an exhibition entitled “Scumf--k”.

“For the genre she’s working in she’s obviously very talented,” says Mat Gleason, editor of the Coagula Art Journal, who attended the sold-out show. Noting that her childhood in “a punk-rock household” has had an obvious influence on the 17-year-old artist, he adds: “She's definitely keeping with the family tradition.”

Though Frances chose to show her work under the pseudonym “Fiddle Tim”, Gleason tells PEOPLE there is no doubt in his mind that the work is hers: “It tells me is that she didn't want the attention, and that she wanted the work to stand on its own.”

“That shows integrity,” he adds.

Mom Courtney, though estranged from her daughter, tweeted her admiration for Frances’ work: “I adore my daughter and miss her,” she wrote. “But that scumf--k stuff is cool.”

Frances, who currently resides with her grandmother, is set to inherit a large amount of money from her father's estate next month when she celebrates her eighteenth birthday on August 18.

Things have gone from bad to worse for troubled rocker, Courtney Love. Not only did she recently lose legal control over her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, TMZ reports that a judge has now issued a restraining order, prohibiting Courtney from having any direct or indirect contact with the 17-year-old.

The restraining order comes after an online rant by mommy dearest.

I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this s**t has lost her position..." Love, 45, rants on her Facebook page. "She was deceptive, she lied and she's lying to herself... My daughter is not always honest."

As we reported two days ago, a judge created a temporary guardianship on behalf of Frances Bean. The legal guardians are Wendy O'Connor, Kurt Cobain's mom, and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, Kurt's sister.

A hearing is set for January 5.

Courtney Love, once called “the most controversial woman in the history of rock” by Rolling Stone, claims that her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean’s “groundedness” is thanks to her “DNA”.

“She’s really conservative in a good way,” the 45-year-old Hole rocker told OK! at the Elton John AIDS Foundation annual benefit, An Enduring Vision, held Monday (November 16) in New York City at Cipriani Wall Street.

“She’s going to college. She’s looking at colleges,” adds Courtney. “She’s in her last year of school. She wants to go to an Ivy League school [where she’ll study] fine art, maybe film.”

Earlier this month Frances was in the news after causing a scene at an Amtrak station in Boston. According to the NY Post, the young Cobain was upset after being told her reservation hadn’t been paid for: “She caused huge backup on the line because she refused to pay herself,” says a source. “She was causing a scene and saying her name loudly to the guy behind the counter, but he had no idea who she was. Finally, she got out of line to call her business manager, who paid for her ticket.”
