As if they weren’t surrounded by enough controversy already, Jessa and Jill Duggar who rose to prominence through their roles on “19 Kids and Counting” were recently asked to talk about their family’s issues on a public show, describing what they went through and how the scandal has been affecting their lives. However, much to the surprise of some, they seem to be holding up very strongly and don’t appear to have been broken by the scandal that sent shockwaves through the Internet. Quite on the contrary, they are optimistic about their future.
And yet, according to Jessa Duggar, it was still an event that caused huge issues for their family in the beginning and it was indeed difficult to get through the first stages of the scandal. The controversy surrounding the family was widely reported in the media, as more information kept coming to light and the problems appeared to be getting even worse for the family. At one point, many were wondering how the two were able to stay by one another for so long.
Jessa went on to say that she was crying very often in the beginning and it was particularly difficult on her. Still, she found the strength to move on and now she’s healing and she’s looking forward to some good times in the future. The two family members are currently trying to put the whole incident behind them as they are moving into the future, and they seem hopeful that they will be able to soon forget everything that’s happened.
Now, Jessa Duggar is expecting a child from her husband – the first of the couple – and she is excited about the event which seems to have affected her life on a deep level. Ben Seewald and Jessa Duggar will see their first child born around the beginning of November, and the precise expected date is November 1, according to reports.
Fans of “19 Kids and Counting” have been following the lives of both Jessa and Jill ever since the show was cancelled in light of the major controversy that it was entangled in. Many of the production’s fans expressed their disgust at the revelations, and pretty much every member of the family found themselves affected in one way or another, leading to a massive falling out between all of them.
Currently, most seem to be recovering, while at the same time more information has been coming out about Josh Duggar that has painted the picture in an even uglier light. Not all family members are doing well though – some are facing issues of their own, according to reports, and have been working on fixing them.
Recently, we’ve heard reports that the marriage of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar hasn’t been going very smoothly, and the two have been trying to figure out a way to get things back on track. According to the same reports, they have been trying to address the issue through marriage counseling.
Hopefully, they will be able to move on – it appears that the issues in their marriage might be directly related to the scandals surrounding Josh Duggar, so it would definitely be a shame to see this controversy affecting the lives of even more people in the long run. On the other hand, they at least don’t have to deal with the same kinds of issues that the immediate family of Josh himself was facing, so they should be able to address their own situation a little more smoothly.
