Jessa Duggar’s latest Instagram posts seem to indicate that she’s moving on from the Josh Duggar scandals and urging forgiveness of him.
With her prior actions, Jessa made it look like Josh would face harsh consequences for his lying, molesting, cheating, hypocritical ways.
Jessa put Josh on blast by linking to a sermon about infidelity, not so subtly railing against his rampant cheating on long-suffering wife Anna.
As one of his molestation victims as well, Jessa sure made it seem like Josh was in the doghouse, if only with his (many) family members.
Not only did he do horrible things to his sister and wife, but Josh kind of ruined their reality TV careers, which Jessa is said to be livid about.
Well, blood runs thicker than intense social media shade.
The pregnant reality star posted Bible verses on Instagram that strongly suggest she is on the road to making amends with her sibling.
Read the underlined passages. Enough said, right?
She also deleted the anti-Josh post, a rarity for a family who stands by its moral and religious convictions (for better or worse) like no other.
Not only that, she shared a collage of Josh’s newborn daughter Meredith Grace (above), suggesting that it’s all about the kids, and family.
Obviously, it’s a complicated situation for all involved, and Jessa’s about-face, if we’re interpreting it correctly, reflects this to a T.
No one wants to stay mad at their own brother, no matter what, and being the bigger person and moving is a sign of a strong, loving human.
Nevertheless, if there were ever a reason not to forgive someone, or waiting a long ass time to do so, Josh has given the Duggars plenty.
He abused children. He cheated on Anna with Danica Dillon and possibly a lot of other women he met on Ashley Madison or OK Cupid.
Worst of all, he did it all while condemning his fellow Americans for their personal and sexual choices on religious grounds. Unbelievable.
Perhaps that’s why another Duggar source says:
“It is going to take a long time before we forgive, In the long term, eventually, we will forgive, it will be in our best interest to forgive.”
“Won’t happen soon. Won’t happen fast. Just because we forgive doesn’t mean we trust ever again. We are still extremely upset.”
“We are all still very, very hurt … Josh is still in rehab, and nobody is warm and fuzzy to him yet. It still feels like he is a stranger.”
Again, no one’s advocating holding grudges forever or saying that a person can’t change for the better … but well put, source.
Very, very well put.
