[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The information in the link above is so upsetting. What happened to josh Duggar to make him like this?? [/quote]

Probably a combination of:

Josh being a victim of sexual abuse himself - he started molesting his sisters and the other non-family victim when he was only 12-13. I don’t think you act out sexually at that young age in that way unless you yourself have also been abused.

He never got treatment or counseling when he was a victim of abuse and his abuser probably got off scot-free as well.

His parents failed him big time by not getting him proper treatment when the molestation came out. They could have helped him and got him into some kind of real treatment, counseling, therapy … and they didn’t really. Combined with the fact that whoever likely abused him also got away with it, he didn’t think there were any consequences for this kind of thing.

As an adult, without any treatment for what happened to him in the past as a teen/tween, he got into a full-blown sex addiction (leading to him cheating on his wife on Ashley Madison) and porn addiction. He was driven to look up worse and worse stuff to get the “high,” just like any other addiction. He got interested in illegal CSAM. And since he and others around him literally never faced any consequences ever - he just didn’t think he could be caught and face real legal consequences. People who were close to the Duggars when the kids were growing up said that Josh was the favorite, treated very well by his parents, and could interact with and talk to his parents and other adults much more freely than other kids in the IBLP/fundamentalist baptist community.

He was a spoiled kid who never saw any consequences until it blew up in his face as an adult. [/quote]
