No, your mistake was not putting them in the trashcan!  Horrible little things.

If someone has gone to the trouble of making dinner for me I will eat whatever is put in front of me as a sign of gratitude if not actual enjoyment.  The only two exceptions are bell peppers (they do terrible things to my stomach ) and brussels sprouts.  I really hate them that much.

I personally support your hatred of Brussels sprouts. More for ME!!!!

Right? They are little green nuggets of evil.

I'll make you a deal. I'll eat and enjoy your Brussels sprouts if you eat my parsnips (shudder).

 And Mac is old enough to have the talk with about "inappropriate touching." I think she'd tell.

This family has shown they don't care if you tell, nothing will change.

[ksgranola1]

Anna's not a blood Duggar. I think she would react differently.

No deal. Parsnips are just as nasty. I will, however, eat your green or yellow beans. Or your raw carrots and cauliflower. Keep your tomatoes, though.

Telling may land you in a lot of trouble in fact- ATI blames the victims. Can you imagine being molested or worse, summoning the courage to tell your mother, than be told you must have done something to defraud your father to make him do that? Talk about horrifically scarring and damaging.

[Bad Wolf]

Roasted brussels or parsnips, yum. You can keep your turnips and swedes (rutabagas).

Yup. I have read several memoirs where abuse is detailed and when the mother is told, she explains it away or flat out doesn't believe the child's story. Slap ATI teachings on the top of that and it's even worse.This group creates a culture ripe for abuse. I absolutely cannot imagine.

Are you implying that the way jb and michelle handled the molestation situation was somehow genetic? that their reaction was a dna thing somehow? Because I believe their denial, cover up and victim blaming was based on their entrenchment in ATI and got hard.  Anna grew up on that kool aide and went along with her marriage buying into whatever coverup hogwash josh and jb told her about "his mistakes".  

 

 

This is coming from a victim of childhood sexual assault, by a close family member, (who happened to be very close in age to josh at the time), and whose parents went into denial and cover up mode as well.  I wouldn't wish that on any child.  And while we've seen no evidence that josh will reoffend with children, and no evidence he would do so with his own children especially, i would never leave my kids alone with him. period.

Exactly. She might not be a blood Duggar, but she has been raised the same way. And I think the fact she hasn't left speaks volumes.

[Shiny]

I very much believe Anna would have done the same as the Duggars. We heard Jim Bob say that the Josh Situation happens in a lot of families. I'm fairly certain people in the ATI-Gothard world are taught to cover this stuff up from a very early age. 

[season of life]

Though she has been through a lot, I cannot imagine Anna pulling her daughters out of the house if Josh abused them. He'd probably do another round at fake rehab or she would deny anything happened. Anna was raised on the same ideals and just the fact that she hasn't fled already, knowing full what her husband is, shows how little she gives a shit about her kids. 

[Bad Wolf]

Not everyone who molests children molests their own children, though of course, some do.

Here's an awful thought - Josh someday giving his daughters purity rings.

No, I'm not implying that it's "genetic." What I mean is, Anna may have seen a crack in this ATI façade after all she's been thru this past year & is looking at things differently. I can't believe all this wouldn't give her a glimpse into the fakery that is ATI.

Oh, gag.

 

[choralcrusader8613]

I think she would reason with herself that it's Josh who's the problem, not ATI/Bill Gothard.

This whole "Daddy has their hearts" thing just makes me feel squicky. Sure, I love my dad. Had he given me a ring when I was a young teen, however, I'd have reacted with revulsion. It's been pretty clear to me my entire life that my father has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with my sex life. And that's the way it'll stay.

I retch at the idea of what Anna will teach her children about sex especially after all that has transpired ...

Totally agree.
Especially in this cult, where the onus for the girl's safety seems to be on the girls.
 
I had a friend growing up where the step dad had acted inappropriately towards her. When she tried to tell her mom what was going on, her mom told her to make sure she's fully dressed when she's out of her room in the house instead of wearing a nightie  and her mom wouldn't let her have friends over anymore. But the mom stayed with the man. And when my friend had her own kids and wouldn't bring them around him, the mom acted all hurt and bothered that they wouldn't visit!  Sometimes the denial is that strong I guess?

Brussels with pancetta and chestnuts. Roasted parsnips with honey and wholegrain mustard glaze. Nom nom nom ...
