Now that the dust is settling a bit on the Jon and Kate Gosselin "cheating" saga, the mom of eight is speaking out and admitting her marriage is in trouble - and has been for months.
Kate spoke with PEOPLE, and here are some of the highlights:
"I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing," she says quietly. "I've been struggling with the question of 'Who is this person?' for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It's one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there's blaring, red flashing lights."
The name to which Kate refers belongs to 23-year-old Deanna Hummel, whose brother later claimed she'd been having a months-long affair with Jon.
For Kate, who has referred to her husband as "my balance, my strength and my stability," to now consider a future apart has been heartbreaking but not impossible. "You can't imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months," she says.
"It's a lot like when I was first pregnant with the babies, and it was pure shock and denial. But over time I imagined six cribs in my house, and six car seats. When your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios."
Kate does have hope, however, that her marriage can be saved. "I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again," she says.
How sad - sad if Jon didn't cheat and the allegations have put all of this strain and stress on their family. If he did cheat, then he has to face the consequences and it's hard to say if he and Kate can keep their marriage together. I feel bad for their kids, who are still so young and probably don't know much of what's happening - but they probably feel the tension in the home.
