The full trailer for Jill & Jessa: Counting On, TLC"s 19 Kids & Counting spinoff that kicks off Sunday, December 13, has been released by the network.
And it is quite the literal tear-jerker.
Josh Duggar‘s sex scandals have humiliated his family, and clearly, you can count on Counting On showing you just how devastated they are.
As teased in previous clips, Anna Duggar is heartbroken as she recalls her initial, misguided belief (hope?) that Josh"s sex scandals can"t be true.
While she continues to bear the brunt of his infidelity, porn addiction and PTSD-inducing rough sex lawsuit, his long-suffering wife is not alone.
Tears stream down poor Jinger Duggar‘s face as she recalls the shame and hurt her brother inflicted. “It was just seeing all the pain,” she cries.
The family"s eldest daughter, Jana Duggar, is also seen sobbing too while her twin brother, John David, expresses shock at Josh’s lewd behavior:
“I don’t think there’s any way any of us would"ve known my brother was living such a secret life,” says John David, fighting back his own tears.
This focus on Anna, plus the other three adult siblings along with the titular Jill and Jessa Duggar shows a family united in … being hurt by Josh.
As for how Jill and Jessa feel?
“Everybody makes their own decisions and choices but they’re not the only ones that suffer the consequences,” Jill says, without naming names.
In a previous teaser, however, Jill takes Josh to task for hiding his depraved sex life while she went on TV and defended his past molestation.
Startlingly, Jill also admits that perhaps their faith failed them. At one point in the two-minute Counting On teaser, she touches on the subject:
“It’s not you say your prayers and everything works out. That doesn’t make everything beautiful and happy and cheery and a nice happy world."
Based on these teasers, Sunday, and the next two installments of the three-part Jill & Jessa special, should be very interesting to say the least.
