    The most interesting thing about Maddie’s comments about Collin are the fact that if you actually go back and watch the show, it’s Maddie that is usually abusing Collin and some of the other siblings throughout the entire course of the show

How can you not want to go see your child to support them, when you apparently put them there to get them help? It's like she said "fix him for me please" and then took off.

    Sadly many parents are convinced that those places are the only way to save your child from ending up in the system. He likely had behavior issues that did need treatment and sadly after the 1st few "treatments" don't work and the school is having issues and parents are stressed out these places swoop in to "help" and promise they will get your kid back on track and "fixed" all while actually only caring about the funding the children bring in. These places are known for mistreating children in the name of money and it is shocking how many parents fall into their traps. The more troubled the child is the more money they get. They also discourage visitation and tell you that visiting messes with your child's "progress" or disrupts the progress they have made or they will tell you after a visit that it caused a meltdown or your child had a terrible reaction and dissuade you from visiting as much. They limit and monitor phones letters etc. I am not saying Kate nor John nor Collin is the "issue" none of us know that because none of us lived their lives. We saw a few minutes of heavily edited footage from hours and hours of tape. It is gross how this is being made public. These kids need therapy not interviews.

Jon said that Kate cheated on him too with a crew member from their show “Jon and Kate make 8”. I’m not surprised that Kate commits more sins than Jon did. I’m not surprised that Kate gets away with murder for her sins and evil doings to Jon and kids who want to be with their dad, not her, because she knows how to do CYA (cover your ass!).

    Jon’s not perfect, but I believe that Kate has been instrumental in alienating him from the kids. I’ve seen this happen with a neighbour. My neighbour alienated her kids from their dad. He was not a great guy, he left the family and tried to get shared custody. During the custody battle, the kids would do anything and everything to frustrate their visit with Dad. My neighbour indirectly caused their behaviour, by the things she shared with her kids…that he abandoned them, that he wiped out the bank accounts. He was not a good guy. He was exposed by their mom. The kids are grown now and they continue no contact. He has tried to reach out. He has tried to make amends. He paid for their college tuition. He paid child support. They want nothing to do with him.

    I agree w you on all of it. Except I thought that Jon didn’t pay for anything after he left. Because he couldn’t. Child support for that many kids, and no job was impossible. I thought that was part of their divorce? That she was going to take the kids and their home, and he could walk away w no clue support, and also no visitation. Maybe I’m wrong. That’s just what I remember from back then? I thought he didn’t pay for any schooling and or Child Support. And that’s what gave Kate so much leverage over him. She could say…..you don’t pay, so you don’t get a say. On anything. She even moved out of the state w all their children, for away from the dad. Only because he wasn’t paying child support, she felt she could do whatever she “needed” to do.

    There is no such thing as conversation with a narcissistic and manipulative abuser. Unless you’re obvious on their team or showing them that you think and feel exactly as they want you to, there’s absolutely no way you can honestly communicate with such a person. It gets to a point to stop trying because you’ve truly exhausted all efforts with not even one little victory. Continuing to try continues to reintroduce the trauma triggers and it’s absolutely pointless to keep going that way. Sadly, the kids will have to put two and two together and form their own decisions based on whatever information they are exposed to. If they haven’t seen or spoken to or heard from their dad that long, you can only imagine what they are being shown and told to lead to that.

    No, Jon, YOU are their Father. YOU need to keep trying to reach out to them, no matter what. You need to show them that love them and will never stop and never go away. It's your responsibility as the parent to keep fighting, even if they are adults now. They've been influenced by others. Your job is to show them that they can always come back to you no matter what.

Collin is better off not having her in his life, which seems to be on a great trajectory. Blood doesn’t mean you owe anyone anything. Mady just needs to go away, go back to her Mommy who is as mean as she is, they make a great pair.

    I didn't follow this show, but my heart goes out to Collin. My husband and I had five kids, and I raised them as a SAHM, even homeschooling for ten years. Collin reminds me of my eldest, who was more headstrong and unruly than his siblings. My son is extremely bright but is extra sensitive to stimuli, and he needed both a firm hand and a chance to find his own way, both of which I gave him. He is a stable, caring, and responsible adult now. While I can't know if Collin said or did anything unforgiveable as an adult, it seems he was scapegoated at a young age, and I hope it's possible for him to at least mend ties with his siblings. And Hannah rocks. I wish her all the best.

    I’ve been reading it and I’m shocked. But I’m sure it’s true. Kate is a typical narcissist and if you don’t accept her agenda she doesn’t need you in her life and doesn’t want you in her kids lives either. Why do you think her whole family doesn’t talk to her? Because they were concerned about what filming was doing to the kids and she didn’t want to stop because then she would have to go out and get a “real” job and Kate didn’t want to work. Knowing that filming wasn’t in the best interest of the kids and her continuing to do it is not being a good mom at all. The kids are grown now and are going to college so there’s no reason why she can’t get a real job off tv.

    I have researched this issue and here is what I think happened. Collin might be an independent person or a strong willed person. Maddy and Kate are also strong willed people. Their personalities clashed with Collin. Kate should have allowed Collin to live with Jon instead of hospitalizing him. Jon seems to be calmer than Kate and handled Collin better than her. The military would not accept Collin if he truly had many psychological disorders as Kate claims.

And sure she was eight years old at the time but come on, as an eight-year-old you know how to behave and she was literally being a bully to your younger siblings not even Cara behaved this way towards her little brothers and sisters. Mady definitely knew better at eight years old and she purposely and maliciously hit her brothers and sisters, and called them names constantly. But now she wants to claim that her sibling was abusive to her? That is BS and so disappointing that Kate would put hate and her own children’s hearts.

These 8 would be so blessed if they learned to love one another through adversity and choose to forgive each other to move on and upward toward togetherness. They are old enough to be held accountable for what they say or do. It's sad that their parents issues trickled down to them. SMH.

So I tried to continue a relationship with them, but they rejected me for years. I went to a psychologist who told me after years of suicidal thoughts over the rejection to move on. He looked me in the eyes and told me that they didn't want me in their lives, so move on. I was shaken. But I moved on. I still pray for them, but I can't revolve my life around them, who hate me. I revolve around Jesus, who loves me. Last time I talked to my daughter, she called me crazy for following Jesus, and my son told me to never speak of Jesus around him. They are cruel to me. They dis-mommed me. You don't know it all. But were you a lawyer before you became a judge?

    Kate has really done a number on those children. So sad they won’t speak to their father. Bless Collin and best of luck in his military career.

    Alienation of parental affection. The judge should have put his foot down with Karen.

    Mady was an absolute madam as a child and is still a madam now. Congratulations Kate .. she's turned out just like you.

    I came here for the comments because some of the negative criticism towards this family is gross. Whether you're team Kate or team Jon, you don't know these people. Until you have multiple kids plus your family is on a hit TV show, you have every right to give your two cents.
