Kate Gosselin’s Son Collin Gosselin Alleges She Prayed to Stop Hitting Him

“I have never wanted to have to do this, but I feel I have been backed into a corner and left with no choice,” Kate wrote in a statement in July 2023. “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.”

At the time, she also directly addressed his allegations against her. 

“Collin’s distorted perception of reality,” she said at the time, “is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with.”

“Unfortunately, I believe Collin remains a very troubled young man who continues to need a lot of help,” Kate noted. “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.”

Collin, meanwhile, has said his time in psychiatric treatment was a detriment to his mental health and has denied his mom’s allegations about his behavior.
