@npr: Former “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star Collin Gosselin told All Things Considered host Juana Summers he’s estranged from most of his siblings, and he blames his mother, Kate Gosselin, from whom he is also estranged. In a new memoir, “In the Shadow of Eight,” Collin Gosselin says his mom isolated him from his sisters and brothers when they were children, and also alleges he was physically and emotionally abused because he no longer wanted to be filmed for the show. Kate Gosselin has not responded to NPR’s request for comment on her son’s allegations, but in the past, has denied all allegations of abuse. #NPR

When he realizes that his dad is equally responsible he's going to be devastated

He's promoting the hell out of this book, but he needs to rest his voice.

sadly I believe his siblings know they will also be cut off if they speak to him or go against their mom

I believe he was treated differently and Kate was a nightmare parent but there has GOT to be more to this story. For some reason it’s just not all adding up to me.

I think all these interviews are the reason hes sick and taking a toll on his body. Hes reliving all those moments and pain over and over and on some interviews he gets emotional and cries. Remember body remembers all your emotions and feelings

Wondering what happened between him and Hannah. Hannah lived with Jon and Collin throughout high school and they were super close, but she also keeps a close relationship with her mom and other siblings. I know a few years back something went down at the house with Jon/ Colin/ Hannah (back when Collin accused Jon of abuse. It was brief you’ll have to google it to remember) and it seems like Hannah doesn’t have a relationship with him anymore. I’m seriously curious as to what happened ): it was nice that he had atleast one sibling.

I was always the black sheep, I totally understand him. It’s a burden we carry for the rest of our lives. It’s Being misunderstood.
