Anna Duggar’s New Nightmare: Josh’s Appeal “Dragging on” the Trauma
SILOAM SPRINGS, ARKANSAS — Sources close to Anna Duggar report that she is feeling immense stress as the legal process for her husband, Josh Duggar, continues. While he serves his sentence in federal prison, his attorneys have filed an appeal brief, a move that is reportedly adding to Anna’s emotional burden and delaying her ability to move on with her life.
Seeking a Path Forward
According to sources, Anna’s stress has become so severe that it led her to recently delete her Instagram profile. She is said to be ready to put the “nightmare” of Josh’s trial and conviction behind her and focus on her life with her seven children. The ongoing appeal, however, is preventing her from finding closure.
An insider shared, “She’s ready to move on. That’s one of the reasons she’s not on social media anymore; it stresses her out. She doesn’t want to deal with Josh’s appeal.”
Hope and Heartbreak
The reports suggest that while Anna initially hoped for an acquittal, she has since accepted the guilty verdict. The trial was a “nightmare” for her, and although the appeal may be legally necessary for Josh, it feels to Anna like it’s “dragging this nightmare on.”
Currently, it’s unclear what level of support Anna is receiving from her family, but she and her children are still living on Duggar property. The reports indicate that she may have previously cut off contact with those who did not support her view of Josh’s innocence, but it is hoped that she is now getting the help she needs. Other reports claim Anna is “coming to terms with the situation” and that in her heart, she has nothing left but her children and her faith.
The path forward is uncertain, but it seems Anna is ready to begin a new chapter of her life.
