Page "Courtney Love" Paragraph 7

Love has said that she " didn't have a lot of social skills " as a teenager, and that she learned them while frequenting gay clubs with friends.

In 1981, a social worker discovered a trust fund established for Love by her mother's adoptive parents, which provided her with a $ 500 monthly stipend, and she gained legal emancipation.

Love used the money to travel to Ireland where she took two semesters at Trinity College studying theology, and briefly reunited with her father, who was living there at the time.

After leaving Ireland, she traveled to Liverpool, where she met musicians Julian Cope and Ian McCulloch.
