I nearly cried when he said, "it's supposed to be me and you", and his mum totally dismissed it. Honestly, Kate was a uniquely horrible person. 😥😥😥

It's a mama bear and her baby. Where's everyone else?" For some reason.. That absolutely crushed me.. What a horrible mom... Im so proud of this young man...He is going far in his life. Much love 💛

[Tracilynn-jrtp]

I have a feeling when the sibling do reunite, and share stories, Collin will learn how blessed he is to have been raised by his father.

The funny thing is this, Collin out of all his siblings can articulate and carry a interview like a grown man with such grace and integrity. His mother should be ashamed of herself. The world loves you Collin. We all have your back.

His mother is a narcissist and Colin was a scapegoat not unusual for a narcissist to do. I wish him nothing but the best and my heart hurts for all the pain and rejection he has endured. Peace to the World.

[NayNayQueen]

That’s so heartbreaking that he hasn’t seen his siblings in 5-6 yrs. Shame on his mom for doing this to him.

[JessaJayVlogs]

He’s clearly very intelligent, and has a great work ethic. The maturity involved to not use the interview to harbor/highlight anger the wrongdoings of his mom, but instead to talk about his future plans is astounding for someone his age. Heck...for anyone who’s gone through abandonment by a parent. Mad respect for him!

[tracyeilers]

For a high school age child he is SO well spoken. His mother definitely can’t take any credit for that! She is nothing other than a monster.

[helenturgeon]

That poor kid. It's bad enough his mother abandons him, but to make sure his siblings stay away as well? That's beyond cruel. My heart just broke for him.

[tamiella]

Kate's comment on the momma and baby bear my heart! His little voice explaining the meaning, so sweet and genuine.
The gift was to symbolize them as mother and son and she could care less.
So sad!

[samlovespi]

I know Collin said it didn't matter that Kate didn't show up to the custody hearing, but I'm sure that cut deep. What a way to tell your own kid that you don't want them. Heartbreaking.

[nicolen]

I cannot believe this young man is 18 years old. So mature, so well spoken & put together. Wow wishing him all the best ❤

[calleysharkus]

You can tell how left out and neglected he felt. Then to watch the clip of his mom saying "where is every one else?" And shutting him down just broke my heart.

[angelahayes]

Literally cried when he started talking about wanting to have a relationship with his brothers and sisters. How emotional he got talking about them broke my heart 😢

[sassyh]

So well spoken, no bitterness, not saying anything bad about anyone. What a very mature boy. I hope someday his siblings can all be together, so sad they’ve been separated for so long. :(

[ddrchamp]

Out of all those children, he is THE MOST capable, of anything and everything. I don't see a victim. I see a survivor of abuse and cruelty by his mother, and a survivor of his own demons that he seems to be conquering extremely well for a kid his age. He's very well spoken and true to himself and his emotions. Very excellent work done by Jon and Hannah. Their love and support shows, and this young man is going to shine.

[suechavez]

Collin is a very well spoken young man. My heart goes out to him for how his Mother treated him.

[yonna]

With all that he’s gone through, he’s such an intelligent, strong, rational, sweet and articulate young man. I wish the best for him and his siblings in life.

[nekolita]

5 or 6 years without conversation w siblings is hard. This kid went through it, props to him for coming out okay.

[BritneyRamirez]

The fact that he said the biggest misconception about him is hes “incapable” the fact that he was made to feel that he’s incapable (most likely by his mother) is heartbreaking. His tears for his siblings is heartbreaking
