Josh Duggar's siblings recently appeared once again on television via TLC special Duggar show called "Jill & Jessa: Counting On." All of the embattled TV personality's brothers and sisters have spoken and shared their true feelings following the cheating, molestation and Ashley Madison scandal. The siblings let it all out and decided that they can't trust their eldest brother any longer
Josh Duggar confessed last summer that he had been cheating on his wife Anna Duggar through the controversial dating site Ashley Madison. He also admitted to being severely addicted to pornography and this was how his past sexual abuse case was brought into surface again.
As a result of this scandal which totally shocked many people, especially those who are avid followers of the Duggar family's reality show "19 Kids and Counting," the beloved program that has been running for more than seven years has been canceled. On top of this, as sponsors backed out, it was reported that Anna and Josh are facing financial crisis.
According to NY Daily News, it was actually the whole family that's going through a very tough time, both emotionally and financially. It was said that the Duggars lost $25 million after the show went off air. And for all that's happening, Anna said that at times she wish that everything is just a nightmare that she can wake up from saying "This really, this can't be true."
At any rate, although Jill and Jessa revealed through their special TLC show that they have already forgiven their brother, trusting him again is a different story. The sisters share the same view about their brother, expressing that while they have already dealt with his first offense long ago, these recent incidents were harder to face and accept. In the end, they now see the eldest brother differently.
"We have chosen, Jessa and I can say that we have chosen to forgive Josh and that is an important part of our own healing. If we do not forgive then we cannot move on," said Jill.
US Weekly also quoted Jessa as saying, "We were devastated after Josh confessed to being addicted to porn and cheating on his wife. The situation that happened when he was a teenager was one thing, but the present-day issue was really difficult to come to grips with."
Lastly, Josh Duggar's brothers also noted that they would like to distance themselves from their brother from now on. They asserted that they looked up to him and even considered him as their role model, but not anymore.
"One of the toughest things I ever had to tell my older brother was, 'I don't want to be like you anymore,'" one of the siblings John David imparted.
