Duggar Scandal

At first hearing about the first encounter with Josh Duggar, I was shocked.

My first thought was I can't believe that he did that to his sisters and a babysitter and my second thought was okay this happened when he was a teenager and he had boy hormones although that isn't really an excuse but people do make mistakes, especially young people. He was the one who went and told his parents about what he did and his parents got him help. 

Why make him feel guilty for what he did when he was younger? If you had done something that you wish that you didn't do, would you want people to make you feel guilty about? No, you wouldn't so why do it to him? Is it because his family is well-known or because he is on TV? Him and his family never said that they were a perfect family and this happened before they came on TV. They don't need to tell everything about their life before they were on TV.

This is when we only knew about the molestation, not about the Ashley Madison thing.  

When the Ashley Madison thing came up, I was still shocked but didn't feel the same way towards him. 

I was not going to defend him because it was his choice and he is an adult. He was married for many years and had three kids with one on the way. I felt bad for Anna and her kids.

Josh is, according to Jim Bob, at rehab to get some help. He went to get help before when he molested his sister and a family friend and that obviously didn't help so why would now be different. 

I still like the family but I just don't like him.
