Kate Gosselin’s Son, Collin, Claims His Mother Accused Him of “Destroying” the Family
In 2023, Kate shared a statement in response to Collin implying that she was the cause of his estrangement from his siblings, including four of his fellow sextuplets – Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel, as well as his 22-year-old twins Mady and Cara.
“I have never wanted to have to do this, but I feel I have been backed into a corner and left with no choice. Although it saddens me to do so, I need to speak out now,” Kate wrote on Instagram on July 21. “My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters, and for his well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs.”
The former reality star further explained, “All measures that were taken in our home were at the explicit recommendation of his pediatric psychiatrist and/or his team of specialists and were put into place to safeguard every member of our family.”
