After avoiding the spotlight for several months following the Josh Duggar sex scandals, Anna Duggar has been speaking out and sharing her thoughts on what she describes as the most difficult year of her life.
Last week, Anna broke her silence with a blog post in which she described her visits with Josh while he was in rehab.
(The post conspicuously did not address the rumors that Josh got Anna pregnant on one of those visits.)
Yesterday, Anna spoke out once again, this time in an interview for the official Duggar family’s official website.
In her latest remarks, Anna did not directly address the topic of her husband’s indiscretions, but as with everything she says these days, her comments are being interpreted in the context of Josh’s ongoing scandals.
The interview focused primarily on Anna’s decision to continue homeschooling her kids.
At one point, the mother of four revealed that despite rumors to the contrary, she has received some formal training as an educator:
“After high school, I did an online Christian college program in early child education, but what has helped me the most has been taking advice from my mom, my mother-in-law, and other homeschooling veterans,” Anna said.
“It’s great to learn from other women who are further down the road. I find women with teenage children who love the Lord or grandchildren who love the Lord, and I seek to learn from them.
“It’s also important to realize that just because something worked for one family, that doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you.”
As we said, Anna isn’t directly addressing her family’s recent legal and public relations troubles here, but she does seem to be indirectly addressing the question of whether or not she and Josh will continue to homeschool their children.
As several commenters have pointed out on the Duggars’ facebook page, both parents are currently unemployed, so they may as well stick with the program!
