“It seemed like it was just a bad dream, like how could this happen? How do you go from being in this wonderful marriage relationship to living sort of a double life and being unfaithful to your spouse?”

Jessa insisted her family did not sweep the incident under the rug when it happened.
“It’s shocking,” she added. “It’s your older brother, somebody who you love, who you trust. Definitely, there was a period of time in our family where Josh was not to be trusted. He spent time away from home getting help.” (RELATED: Josh Duggar Checks Into Rehab)
