you just don't understand how impossible it must feel to be anna duggar right now. she has no choices here. don't tell me otherwise, i know what it costs to leave.

bounded choice.

if she were to try, i bet she has no assets in her name, no credit history, no separate bank account & the feds have probably frozen everything. the in-laws would try for custody of the kids. she'd have to renounce her faith & community. she'd be alone AND dealing w this trauma

the church is ABSOLUTELY pressuring her already to forgive him.

ALSO LETS TALK ABOUT WHAT SEVEN KIDS DOES TO YOUR BODY

she's not gonna have the physical fortitude to get out alone, even if she has the mental acuity to do it. you can't parent 7 kids alone & homeschool them while pregnant in a pandemic w your husband is in jail & lose support

the extended family is keeping her afloat. if she loses that, she's gonna be underwater.
