No one ever taught Anna Duggar to “breathe fire”.
Amid the uproar surrounding Josh Duggar’s admission that he maintained two Ashley Madison accounts, his put-upon wife Anna Duggar announced, stoically, that she’d be standing by her man.
Some may see her choice in light of this second transgression (the first being sexually molesting his younger sisters as a teenager) as a show of wifely loyalty and Christian forgiveness.
Others see it as a decision Anna Duggar, a 27-year-old mother of four young children, had little choice in.
That’s a point one woman, Jessica Krammes Kirkland, made brilliantly when she wrote a Facebook post about the whole debacle that’s gone viral — for good reason.
Kirkland wrote, “I know everybody is laughing about this Josh Duggar story. Oh, a DUGGAR on Ashley Madison, it’s so rich!
I wish more people would talk about Anna.”
The mother of two girls, aged 6 and 2, from Georgia, writes that Anna Duggar was clearly never instilled with a sense of self-worth by the people around her — something she is doing with her own two girls, whom she’s raising “to think they breathe fire”.
In the Quiverfull Christian tradition, Anna Duggar was taught that her purpose in life is to be a good wife and a good mother and prodigious birther of children. She did those things.
“Anna Duggar was crippled by her parents by receiving no education, having no work experience (or life experience, for that matter) and then was shackled to this loser because his family was famous in their religious circle,” writes Kirkman.

I feel really sorry for her to be honest. I thought she was the biggest fool to forgive and stand by him again, but the author is right, what choice does she really have. Poor girl!
If she separate's or divorce's Josh she will get a TON of child support and alimony. I am sure someone will gladly ghost write a book.... that should keep her comfy for a while. Heck Anna and the kids on their own could make its own terrific reality show!
You miss the point, this isn't just about money, it's about social isolation. She would be ostracised from the only community and supports she has ever known.
