VIDEO: Sneak Peek - Kate Gosselin Opens Up About Child Abuse Allegations on Today's DR OZ

Today, Dr. Oz is joined by Kate Gosselin who became a household name 10 years ago when her life became the reality show on Jon & Kate Plus 8. Their hands were full raising twins and newborn sextuplets. Then, after a very public and bitter divorce battle, Kate is still in the headlines. Tomorrow, she sets the record straight on child abuse allegations and her feelings about her ex-husband and life as a single mom. Watch two sneak peek clips below!

On how the media has scrutinized her motherhood, Kate shares: "I don't know why [I get media attention for everything I do]. I'm just a mom, like, all the moms everywhere. We're just doing our best and I'm really passionate about what I do and really loud about it, but, I mean, moms don't get enough credit. It's a stinking hard job. I mean, everything that we do we're putting the next generation out there. I don't take that lightly. I mess up a lot. But, I mean, I'm doing my best and I think that's the important thing to stop beating ourselves up and just to keep getting up and doing your best."

On adjusting her LIFE AFTER her divorce seven years ago, Kate replies: "I'm down a parent so I'm really outnumbered now. I have to be kind of the mom and the dad and that's hard. It's been double duty and there's nobody to back me up so that's been--it's really challenging, but it's not something--I mean, I have more than the average number of kids, but it's not something that I'm doing alone. I mean, I've found that you're suddenly tuned into--there's so many single parents out there, single moms, single dads and we're all just kind of like trying to pick up the pieces together. It's hard."

On how being a single parent shaped her children and how it makes a difference for them growing up, Kate explains: "I think the good is the fact that we've kind of really pulled tighter. They're a lot more empathetic, whether you see it really or not. Like I only have so much energy. I only have so much time. Sometimes I have to choose, you know, which sports event or which program to go to. They are empathetic to there's just one of you. We pull together. They help me, clean up THE KITCHEN and there's--that's really been the good. The bad is, unfortunately, they feel torn, a lot between parents and that really sucks."
