She’s probably shouldering well over half of the blame, if not all of it. I imagine her in-laws and husband speak to her in a very patronizing fashion.

I hate that false equivalancy bullshit...like just because *this* is wrong, they shouldn’t bother with *that*. ugh.

Poverty ages you really fast. That’s not unrealistic at all. Growing up in the mountains a few hours away from Dollywood, people tended to zoom into the wrinkly apple stage and stay there.

Dolly’s Mother: If you don’t remember anything else from the bible, remember this: love never fails.

Livin’ was harder! People developed fine lines earlier! Less access to sunscreen and retinols!

I just have to bring this out of the grey just so everyone can see “bobby fuck fingers”

As a victim of spousal abuse, I can tell you with certainty that you’re part of the problem. Have a great day.

she has no education or training that would enable her to make her own money. she’d be living as a single mom off the fraction of his income that he is required to pay in alimony and child support... from a purely financial standpoint staying married is a better option. If you add into that the fact that women are…

why did Daddy move to the barn?

It’s easy to call her a silly bint....but the issue with the females in that sect is a lot more complex.

You’re so right. She’s a terrible victim. She’s not victiming correctly AT ALL. Where is her sense of empowerment?? Shouldn’t she be giving interviews about how much happier she is, and how this is just the start of the next chapter? She should absolutely behave more like that. How dare she process through this in her…

How would she motivationally speak? she isnt the one with the problems. Also regarding the brother, we dont know thier relationship but he isnt in the cult any more.and we dont know what kind of cash flow he has. Poor Anna, she had her 4th baby in the middle of all this, and if she isnt depressed, Id be amazed.

It’s sad that we’re relieved the PD made a perfectly reasonable statement.

That’s what she has to do as a Christian woman, because undoubtedly she’s been forced to shoulder some of the blame for her husband’s infidelity. Because these people are awful.

I hate the word “bint”. British military officers took the Arabic word for “girl” and turned it into a word meaning “woman who’s a stupid twit”. It’s pretty racist in its origin.

Not like she has any other options. No education, four (?) kids to take care of, and all the parents (sources of money) won’t let her leave him. I’m not going to call her silly for not having the tools to escape the life they brainwashed her for.

I still think this family is more upset that their pervy brother was caught out on adult websites than the fact that he molested his little sisters.

Why are we blaming his mom?! Oh right, it’s always a woman’s fault!

Some people are just born evil. The greatest mom in the world couldn’t fix that.
