Final yr, we noticed hints that she is likely to be extra at odds with Jim Bob and Michelle — particularly within the wake of Josh’s trial.

That is smart, proper?

A brand new picture is shedding gentle on the advanced and sprawling household dynamic. And the place Jessa suits into all of it.

Final yr, followers started to suspect that Jessa was not solely distancing herself from the “primary” Duggars, however changing into open about it.

She attended Jill’s child bathe. That act alone may very well be seen as a smooth rise up within the eyes of Jim Bob and Michelle.

Bear in mind, they banned Jill from visiting their home to see her personal siblings. She will be able to solely do this with Jim Bob’s supervision. So yeah, that’s an ungainly household dynamic.

Conspicuously, Jessa didn’t truly seem in any of the pictures from the bathe.

At the very least, not within the pics that Amy Dillon King, the “notorious” Duggar cousin, uploaded to Instagram.

Followers immediately speculated that Jessa was already on skinny ice by attending, and didn’t wish to face a chilly shoulder — or harsh phrases — from her mother and father.

Jessa did affirm, on social media, that she attended Jill’s child bathe.

It’s definitely doable that she merely didn’t really feel like showing on social media that day. Not everyone seems to be photo-ready at each second of on daily basis. So … possibly that was it.

For years, Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, have been at odds with Jim Bob and Michelle over issues of perception and issues of cash.

Jill has an amazing quantity of trauma to course of from rising up in an abusive, poisonous cult. She, like everybody, deserved higher mother and father than Jim Bob and Michelle.

He allegedly made the remainder of them really feel like showing on the present was a type of spiritual service, as in the event that they had been ministering by the digicam. In the meantime, he profited.

So for Jessa to spend time with Jill (and Amy) like that … it’s not a declaration of warfare, nevertheless it raised questions.

Everyone knows that Josh Duggar’s crimes — particularly, those that led to his arrest and conviction — brought on tensions within the household.

Jim Bob coated up Josh’s crimes as a teen, had his daughters, who had been Josh’s victims, attempt to sugarcoat issues. After which this occurred. So … is Jessa completely on the outs with Jim Bob and Michelle? Nobody might fairly blame her.

Early this week, James Duggar shared a boomerang on his Instagram Story.

The brief video revealed that Jessa, her husband, Ben Seewald, and two of their youngsters had been sitting on the desk.

This was not simply any eating room desk. All of us acknowledge the Duggar home, even with out relations like Jana current for what appears to be a household dinner.

James even detailed that this was a “household night time.”

That is how he captioned the publish. He additionally revealed that Josie and Jennifer had been additionally current for the meal. As one would hope.

Evidently issues are kind of okay with Jessa and her poisonous mother and father. Unlucky. However not less than she will get to spend time round her siblings with out a chaperone. Can Jill say the identical?
