[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, personally, view Anna as 100% a victim, along the lines of Elizabeth Smart but certainly not as severe. She’s not truly able to accept any “out”, just as Elizabeth didn’t leave when she was brought to parties.

I never doubted that Anna was scared and threatened, and now seeing that creepy mug shot makes me think even more that she’s in a really bad situation. I bet JimBob threatens her life.[/quote]

This is apples and oranges. Anna can get out of this marriage. She can stop having children. I would be worried about him molesting their children after the last scandal. How can she stay with this creep?[/quote]

I think the comparison to Elizabeth Smart is a bridge too far, but I would not underestimate the degree of reproductive coercion in fundamentalist "Christian" contexts. She likely cannot access birth control, and has been brainwashed to believe that birth control = abortion = baby murder. Marital rape is not considered rape within their teachings. Young women are not educated and have no employment prospects. The road out is harder than you seem to think. [/quote]

All this is true.  If the family wasn't famous.  Anna has a very easy out: make a book deal, cash in, and EXIT to save your children.  [/quote]

It doesn’t matter how many resources you have access to if you have been brainwashed. The book Educated comes to mind. The author almost gave up living a normal life , well after leaving her home and attaining career success, to be with her crazy ass family. If it was hard for her to stay away when she was already out of it, I can’t imagine how hard it is to leave when you’re in it.
