[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to feel sorry for Anna. Now, I think she is almost as pathetic as he is. [/quote]

Same.  I used to be very sympathetic towards Anna because I know two people who left the Fundie movement once they reached 18.  One is female and the level of education she received is appalling.  Her skillset was basically caregiving and homemaking.  I met them both through my job years ago and I've seen their struggles to adapt to the traditional world around them... learning technology, learning social norms, job struggles, and the biggest of all, educational struggles.  It took them both years of hard work to be able to just survive a bit above the poverty line, but they are now thriving.

It can be done IF the person wants it... and I don't see that from Anna.  She doesn't want to be free of the Duggars or the Fundie movement.  She has plenty of resources that others who leave the lifestyle could only dream of having!

What really made me change my mind is when I read the article that said she had left the kids with Jim Bob & Michelle so she could live with Josh fulltime at his location.  She CHOSE him over her own kids.  Pathetic!  [/quote]

She can't be alone and does not have the internal  psychological  resources to separate from him apparently. She meets the profile for wives/mothers who tolerate severe domestic abuse of their children long term. She looks like a prototypical incest mother to me actually.....heavy reliance on denial and relationship, no matter how pathological, at all costs. She behaves like him. They can live in their perverse world together, I have little sympathy. She's a horrible mother in my opinion because I have seen what psychological fall out will befall their children as adults...and its terribly painful. And sad.[/quote]
