Throughout the assembly, Jill instructed the pair she needed “to revive household relationships very quickly” and “have a very good dialogue collectively” in regards to the ‘hurtful issues” that occurred between them. As a substitute of listening to her out, Jim Bob had been enraged with the 19 Children and Counting alum.

“‘You wish to know why I’m crying?’ My voice was cracked, my eyes burning. ‘It’s that you just assume I’m some type of horrible particular person simply because I put on pants and have a nostril ring, and but you see that woman outdoors and reward her. That’s why I’m crying, Daddy. I’m evolving and altering, similar to that woman on the market, however you may’t see it. You deal with me like I’m a prodigal who’s turned her again on you.
