The system that protected Josh Duggar is despicable. Jill Duggar never wanting it to come out is sad in that she still feels shame where she should feel vindication in outing him. “Dealt with in the family” what a crock! That family is a system of abuse and subjugation. I hope that Jill continues to heal and realizes that NONE of the shame is hers.I'm going to be honest - I follow all of the fundamentalist family drama/news via Reddit and so nothing in this documentary provided anything new. With that being said - I don't see what was so outrageous about it? I never did like the Duggars, but from my recollection none of the children ever said they were hit or physically disciplined. And Michelle Duggar never mentioned hitting the kids during blanket training. I feel like there are assumptions being made because of what the IBLP director did and assuming that the family followed it strictly. Unless I'm missing something?
Yes, what Josh Duggar did was horrifying. They should have made him get professional help before he continued to spiral. But even Jill Duggar said she never wanted that to come out because they wanted it to be dealt with in the family. Whoever released it to the media should be ashamed.
