Anna Duggar has reportedly grown weary of the controversies surrounding her husband Josh Duggar, hence speculations that the mother-of-four has left their home and brought her children to her parents.
As previously reported, the ‘19 Kids and Counting’ stars came under fire when Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s eldest son was accused of molesting five girls, including his younger sisters, way before their reality TV series came to be.
After reports of the allegations graced the headlines in May, Josh released a public statement to apologize for his actions as well as to confess to molesting his younger sisters. Aside from the molestation scandal, Josh also admitted that he had been addicted to online pornography and had been cheating on Anna.
Although such circumstances have led to the cancellation of the family’s reality TV show, it seems that Josh could be losing more than TV deals.
It has been reported that his wife has already moved out of the house that she and her kids once shared with Josh. Although Anna previously stated that her decision is to support her husband, she has now reportedly fled to her parents’ private home in Florida and is in hopes of keeping some distance from the negative publicity that the Duggar family has been dealing with.
Nonetheless, a source close to the family recently claimed that Anna’s parents do not believe that Josh’s actions are justifiable grounds for divorce.
“They won’t encourage a separation,” the insider said, referring to the sentiments shared by Anna’s parents regarding the possibility of divorce. “They think she should work it out with him.”
Meanwhile, another insider recently spoke to In Touch Weekly and claimed that Anna plans to pay a visit to Josh sometime in the near future as he is currently staying in a Bible-based rehabilitation center where he will reportedly reside for six months.
“She’s looking forward to seeing him in a month or two when the first spousal visitation is allowed,” the insider claimed. “She just prays that he gets the help he needs so they can go on with their life together, despite everything he did to her.”
Josh and Anna Duggar have been counting four kids in the family as the former reality series stars welcomed their daughter Meredith Grace in July. The baby joins older siblings, including 2-year-old Marcus, 4-year-old Michael and 5-yer-old Mackynzie.
"It's definitely busier the more [kids] you have," Anna said in an interview with People Magazine last year. "But it is a happy busy. There is no better way to invest my life, my body, and my time than to my children. They are a huge responsibility and a blessing. And all good things in life require work
