@sarahwalker8190: Reality Star Collin Gosselin Praises Dad's Ex-Girlfriend As His True Mother After New Allegations Former reality television star Collin Gosselin has just released a memoir about growing up on the hit show Jon & Kate Plus 8. The twenty-two-year-old’s book includes serious ab*se allegations against his mother, Kate Gosselin. But it is his tribute to another woman in his life that is catching everyone's attention. Collin dedicated his new book to his father’s ex-girlfriend, Colleen Conrad, who dated Jon Gosselin for seven years. In his acknowledgments, Collin wrote that Colleen stepped in as the mother he needed most. Colleen recently shared a deeply emotional message online, promising to always be his mom. She revealed that they leaned on each other during incredibly difficult times, including her breast cancer diagnosis and her eventual breakup with his father. Collin publicly replied to her post, thanking her for never giving up on him when he was hurting. He wrote that she loves in a way that a real mother should. Meanwhile, Kate Gosselin has fiercely defended her parenting. She previously stated that Collin received multiple psychiatric diagnoses that required him to live in a facility for the family's safety. Following the book's release, Kate told a supporter online that she knows who she is and her kids know the truth. What do you think about Colleen stepping in as a mother figure for Collin? #collingosselin #kategosselin #realitytv #celebritynews #familydrama
