Kate Gosselin beared her heart to Natalie Morales of the "Today Show" during a one-hour special entitled "Kate: Her Story," which aired Monday night on TLC.
During the interview on Monday's show, the 34-year-old reality TV mom, who has been undergoing a very public divorce from her husband Jon, reveals that she only has "a very, very small group of people" supporting her.
"You look around and very close, trusted people who you swear on your life would never ever, ever cash you in, for lack of better words, and those people do that," Gosselin told Morales. "When people leave your house and tell completely different stories, you tend not to trust people."
She added, "I'm awake in the middle of the night thinking, 'Am I making the best decision?' "
Kate also addressed the end of her 10-year marriage to Jon, saying it was a mutual decision.
"Whatever happened, it happened so quickly. I think I was on a plane coming back from somewhere and I remember thinking, 'We're not going to recover from this,' " she said. "I looked at him and he looked at me, and we were completely different people. I think somewhere down the line his goals changed ... and they felt detrimental to me and the kids."
She continued, "I still wake up every day and I think the phone will ring and it'll be ... the old Jon."
Though the "old Jon" she once knew is no longer the man that exists today, Kate says she still has love for her ex.
"A part of me always will," she said. "It's hard to be married to somebody for 10 years and try to say, No I dont love them anymore."
Even more disconcerting, Morales told the "Today Show" that the mother of eight believes her brood is "starting to show signs of stress and behavioral changes."
After the cancellation of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," Kate lined up her own show "Kate Plus 8," only to have her estranged husband block filming while gallivanting around town with a motley crew of single women.
Despite Jon's hurtful actions, Kate denied rumors that she was romantically involved with her body guard Steve Neild, calling it an "outrageous claim."
Meanwhile, on Sunday night, Jon met with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at New York's West Side Jewish Center where he expressed his regret for causing pain on Kate.
"I do apologize to Kate," Jon told the rabbi. "I am sorry for doing the things that I did, and I do ask for her forgiveness ... I have to be accountable for my actions."

Has everyone performed their civic duty and voted? No slacking until then!

Got any nekkid pics of Tim Tebow? You're my only hope...

Ah, a local hero, eh? (He kinda looks like my cousin did, when he played for the Oakland Raiders.)
All we had to vote on, was mayoral and some city council seats....but I did my duty. Frankly, when I read their "platforms", they all seemed alike, so I voted for the biggest irritants.

My sister has an easy voting strategy. Believing no one should serve more than one term in any position, she (and her husband) always vote against incumbents.

I'd do that, but since I live in red-red, the new boss is pretty much the same as the old boss. We actually have a Democrat in Congress (not my district)....and we're trying to nurture him along. His daddy would be ashamed.
To keep this on-topic: I'm so cynical I believe this entire Gosselin split was scripted, but now they've found out that no one is interested in them much anymore.

Open the flood gates, here come the tears. Oh, wah, wah, wah. You two got what you wanted: money and attention. Now....how long do we wait for the big "we're getting back together!" announcement, lots of confessions and forgiveness....and nausea. Will replied: You must be a cynic because that is exactly what I thought. November is a sweeps month is it not? Make that three on the cynic's bench. Big J Four, and I'll bring the Dramamine. I guess we're gonna need a bigger bench... Marianna
Okay, I'm not just a cynic but also a skeptic, and I didn't suspect this for a minute. I can't imagine that anyone would want to put themselves through their level of humiliaton and scorn. A lso pain, because how must Kate feel knowing that Jon screwed every woman he met? And can anyone explain to me this man's apparently irresistible hotness??

I rarely agree with you but one thing I have learned about your posts, you're consistent in your dislike of hucksters like Kate. She's one of the most phony people I have ever seen. Two minutes watching that clip and I realized she knows she's jumped the shark.

Oh good, I was wondering if if was just me who thought he looked like a weasel with a crew cut.

He looks just like our junior Congressman, Jason Chaffetz.... and I think they're both sleeping on cots about now: http://snurl.com/t27zc [t1_gstatic_com]

Spill girl spill. There must be a story behind the "cot" remark.

You haven't heard of our little CotMan? He sleeps on a cot in his Congressional office, uses the shower down the hall, "to save money". It's also because he doesn't want to expose his "pure" children to Washington DC. (Imagine what would happen if they were to learn something about history.)

That's...strange. Every other parent I know *wants* to take their kids to DC for the learning opportunities (well, not permanently). Unless you just don't want your family in town while you waddle around naked in the Congressional shower room, "saving money".

Heh. We think alike. CotMan's also the prig who refused to go through the TSA x-ray scanner because it's "porno".... so he threw a 20-minute fit and held things up.
