Who's Defending the Duggers Girls - The Real VICTIMS!

[diabeticman]

32. .....

My wife read your post. She cried, she suffered a sexual assult as a teenager and she loved your words.


She said everyone does forget that fact. The girls are the real victims who are no doubt suffering.


Her friend who is a big Duggar fan figured out it was Joy-Anna before her name was mentioned.


Her --now ex-friend --- is actually defending Josh Duggar and the family.


My wife went off and basically said:

First fans are complaining that Jana isn't married yet--Would you want to marry especially someone with your family's derange religious views. She is probably very untrusting of men right now.

second of all her ex friend was up in arms because Jessa married a man younger than she is. My wife-- Oh yes, a man should be older than the woman so he can control her and she know her place---Knowing your older brother did what he did to you and knowing the type of respect that family demands all women to show men in that family are you really going to want to be put in your place any longer?

Third--her friend complained how Joy-Anna never seemed to get much time on the show. my wife-- she probably embarrassed and angry and even scared. Not very many people are good enough actors to pretend everything is so great in a house of horrors.


I apologized yesterday because I didn't have all the fact that were still developing and I think I owe another apology to the real victims. For not being sensitive enough to stop getting wrapped up in all the headlines and not thinking of the young girls sooner.

My wife doesn't speak much about her experience ( she had been kidnapped and assaulted by a stranger.) BUT she gave me she understand of what those girls probably still feel the guilt and the mis-trust and the fear they may still experience in one form or another.
