Duggar News: Is Jinger Duggar Still In Touch With Josh Duggar?!

Jinger hasn’t often spoken about her brother Josh Duggar, who is serving over 12 years in prison for possessing and receiving CSAM. She has said the news devastated her and that she needed time to process it all. Though she rarely mentions him now, it’s clear his actions affected her deeply. After all, the news sent a chill down everyone’s spine. But she has been one of the very few from the family to speak up against him.

Duggar News followers found out that while she doesn’t appear to be in close contact with Josh, her focus has been on personal healing and moving forward. Her husband, Jeremy, has also been protective of her when speaking about the scandal. For them, it seems keeping a distance has been part of finding peace. Josh isn’t the only family member with whom they have differences and maintain a distance from.

90 Day Fiance: Jeremy Says The Duggar’s Have Gone Through A Lot! What Did He Mean?!

It turns out the Duggar family home, known as the Big House, has changed a lot. Once filled with noise and activity, it’s now quiet and organized. Jinger said it felt strange to see it so empty compared to her childhood memories. After all, all 19 of the siblings grew up in the Arkansas compound. So, it made sense why the calmness felt strange to Jinger.

Many of her siblings have moved out after welcoming adulthood and started families of their own. Some, like Jinger and Jill, have publicly stepped away from the strict beliefs they were raised with. Others have stayed close to their parents, but even they are navigating a new normal. Jeremy explained that each family member is dealing with things in their own way.

Jeremy said it’s taken time, but people are healing and moving forward since the news about Josh came to light and shook the family. That’s what he meant by saying, “They’ve been through a lot.” Despite the public pain, Jinger and Jeremy believe the family is in a better place now. They’re hopeful about the future and the bonds that remain.
