In 2016, Kate placed Collin in a psychiatric institution. He somberly said that he “didn’t know it was goodbye” when he was forced to leave his siblings by his other.

Noting that he believes Kate made him go away to “save her reputation,” Collin shared his wish for Kate is to “pursue the truth.” “I just want it to stop,” he added. “I don’t want this battle anymore.”

This isn't the first time Collin has addressed his family feud, as he discussed the same situation on Vice TV’s Jon & Kate: Family Circus show, which aired on July 18, 2023. “I think my mom kind of drove a social barrier between us,” Collin said at the time. “She told them the story one way, and, obviously, I see the story a different way.”

Confirming the rest of their siblings decided to “not have a relationship” with Collin on the special, Hannah opened up about Collin leaving the homestead.

“We didn’t even know where he was,” she shared, “so that was a big thing for me because I couldn’t comprehend why my mom would do that to one of our siblings, you know, her own kid. That is, like, a really dark part of our past.”

For her part, Kate broke her silence on Collin via her Instagram on July 21, writing, “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.”
