Colin Gosselin criticizes Kate's mother for burying her to protect her reputation

Colin Gosselin has hit out at his estranged mother, Kate Gosselin, accusing the former reality TV star of trying to "bury" her to protect her public image as she makes allegations of childhood abuse in her new memoir, "In the Eighth Shadow."

"I want to make an apology, to put it simply, an apology and a confession to him, and just take responsibility for what he's done," said 22-year-old Colin.

Colin Gosselin is sending Kate's mum a secret signal after claiming she's been 'spiraled' by her future memoir.

And to say, you know, I'm sorry that I tarnished your name, and I did everything I could to bury you, to protect my reputation, I think that's very honest and very powerful for him to say ... just to show accountability because everything he's done to protect his reputation has come at my expense."

In her memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, Callie claimed that she was physically abused, isolated and forced into psychiatric medication as a child. He also compared his experience in a treatment center to being sent to a juvenile detention center, saying it left lasting scars.

Colin said he continued to have hope even during what he described as his darkest moments

After announcing son Colin's memoir, Kate Gosselin called him a "monster" in social media comments.

"I had little hope, but I always had some, and I kept at it ... I just kept telling myself that there was a better future for me and that there would be a time when I would be over it," she said.

The former child star said sharing her story weighed on her for years until she finally decided to come out.

"It's been heavy on my heart, my whole life, but especially now, I just felt it was time to do it," she said.

The rift with Keith remains deep. Colin recalled a visit from his mother when he was 13 years old and claimed that this visit left him with a painful last memory.

"He scolded me for the whole 20 minutes after not seeing me for a year," she said.

Kate Gosselin defends herself against son Colin as she prepares to release shocking new memoir.

Colin also explained the effects of the psychiatric drugs he said he was forced to take as a child, saying they made him feel like a "zombie". In his memoirs, he has depicted his childhood away from the cameras that made his family famously isolated and isolated.

Despite the estrangement, Callie said she hasn't turned down a call from Kate. But he emphasized that forgiveness does not automatically mean reconciliation.

"Reconciliation requires action and accountability."

I think we can all say "I'm sorry," but if we're not willing to take action and be accountable for what happened in the past and what happened throughout my childhood, then you know what that really means?

Colin said he is still open to hearing from his mother and hopes she will acknowledge what she claims happened in her childhood.

"I think I'll take the call out of curiosity and just hope that maybe he'll confess to what he did to me as a child," she said.

"It was very empowering to be able to come back to television on my own terms as an adult, instead of being a young child under pressure to perform every day," she said.

He also stressed that children should comment on the broadcasting of their lives to the public.

"When a child doesn't want to be on TV, that's their decision. And we have to let them make that decision."

Colin's memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood," is out now.
