The brutal 4 words Kate Gosselin told estranged son Collin in her only visit to mental institution

Key Points:

• Collin Gosselin, in his new book "In the Shadow of Eight," reveals that his mother, Kate Gosselin, told him "You broke our family" during a visit to him in a mental institution at age 12, marking their only meeting during his stay.
• Collin recalls Kate appeared disappointed by his weight gain and ignored his expressions of missing her, while also showing a close relationship with the facility's doctor, which unsettled him.
• Despite Collin's attempts to connect by giving origami gifts to his siblings through Kate, she refused them and insisted it was inappropriate for him to come home, claiming his siblings were better off without him.
• Kate has defended her decision to place Collin in the institution as necessary for safety and well-being after outpatient treatments failed, while Collin alleges she sent him away because he resisted appearing on their reality show.
• Collin credits his father, Jon Gosselin, with securing his release from the facility, and Kate remains estranged from Collin and reportedly nervous about the revelations in his memoir.
