mommaduck Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I see it as a CYA move, to be honest. Oh look! I got help for my cheating self! Now I'm forgiven and the public has to forgive me, too! Sorry, it's cynical, but I really don't buy it. He reminds me of someone. It's all about CYA when busted. 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Mom in NC Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If he is going to a rehab facility with actual licensed mental health professionals then there’s a chance he may be able to get some real help if he’s willing. Let’s hope so. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They are friends of the duggars, and don't even have degrees, let alone licenses. Someone on FJ pulled up pictures of them posing together at a party in the last year. At this point the best you can hope for is that the six months apart will make Anna realize she doesn't need him OR want him. At least it will be six months without conception. ETA: I feel bad about that last part. I love and value all children and I would have a dozen if I could. But right now the last thing she needs is to get pregnant again. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well, that answers that. Another "go take a vacation with our friends and we'll tell everyone how you got therapy and are healed and forgiven. It'll make all this negative publicity go away or work in our favour."

DawnM Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Are we sure they won't have conjugal visits? And I highly doubt this time apart will make her think that.

mommaduck Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Their "training" is probably what is called "Biblical Counseling".

Annie G Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The 10 principles of Reformers Unanimous http://reformersrecovery.com/read-the-10-principles I can't find what training the counselors have. Kind of looks like their training is limited to being former addicts themselves. So maybe Josh will get a career out of this- he can become a counselor for sex addicts. I have no expectation that Josh will stay the full six months, nor do I think he will substantially change his ways. I don't think he's remorseful about anything besides getting caught. No matter how 'changed' he says he is, I hope Anna never trusts him again, and certainly hope she never resumes marital relations with him. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds similar to the earlier counseling he had which seemed to center around physical labor. I'm not feeling this is going to be anymore effective than the other counseling was. I'm not opposed to religious counselors: counselors who are religious themselves but have legitimate training/education in counseling. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when I spend the evening talking about the falling stock market (and how it hurt our investments), joking about needing to get a job to make up for the loss, while reading about Josh being dropped off at RFD airport. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to bite my tongue because I started to ask him if he'd been a bad boy.
