This disclosure led to his removal from the household and subsequent institutionalization in 2016. Collin described this period as a dark and lonely place, where he lacked support or understanding.
Jon Gosselin, the father, became Collin’s primary caregiver after his time in the facility. However, he has been estranged from his other children for a number of years. Kate Gosselin has previously refuted Collin’s claims about her treatment towards him, according to the Vice docuseries.
