Kate Gosselin shared her side of the story on her son Collin’s estrangement allegation. Kate, who is mom to 19-year-old sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel as well as 22-year-old twins Mady and Cara with ex-husband Jon Gosselin has taken to Instagram to react to the statement. Collin and his sister Hannah have been living with Jon since 2018. Collin said in the July 18th episode of “Jon & Kate: Family Circus” that his mom has driven “a social barrier” between him and his siblings.
Kate Gosselin said she is left with no choice
On July 21st, the reality star took to Instagram to react to the statement. She wrote, “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. “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 own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs.”
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star continues, “Following Jon’s removal of Collin from treatment, my son’s unpredictable and violent behavior has sadly continued regularly towards Jon, Hannah, and others around him. Collin’s distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with.”
Moreover, the 48-year-old added, “As many people who have family members grappling with mental health issues can attest, it is rarely and sadly surprising when complete fabrications occur, and this is just another heartbreaking facet of this fight.”
“All measures that were taken in our home were at the explicit recommendation of his pediatric psychiatrist and/or his team of specialists,” the former reality star shared. “and were put into place to safeguard every member of our family, our friends as well as our family pets.”
On top of that, talking of her son Collin she said, “Unfortunately, I believe Collin remains a very troubled young man who continues to need a lot of help. His brothers and sisters and I have not been directly involved in his life due to his history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies towards us.”
Needless to say, It’ll see the reaction of really Jon and the two kids on his side.
