Jill Duggar Dillard will not be holding again in her upcoming ebook — particularly with regards to sharing particulars about her controversial household.
In an excerpt from her memoir Counting the Cost printed by People on Saturday, the 32-year-old former actuality star recalled a gathering she and her husband Derick Dillard had together with her father Jim Bob Duggar and mother Michelle Duggar. And issues obtained very intense through the chat!
After penning a candid letter to her mother and father relating to the household’s points, she and Derick sat down with Jim Bob and Michelle in an try to heal the rift between them. They even introduced alongside a mediator to maintain the dialog productive and civil. However, the gathering turned about to be something however.

During the assembly, Jill instructed the pair she wished “to restore family relationships very soon” and “have a good discussion together” concerning the ‘hurtful things” that happened between them. Instead of hearing her out, Jim Bob had been enraged with the 19 Kids and Counting alum. He sat “very still, lips tight, eyes locked in a scowl” while Michelle brought up the letter, calling it “‘the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever learn.’” Jill stated she rapidly apologized, including:
“‘We love y’all and could’ve used more care. We wrote the letter together and had hoped it would help explain our feelings, but I know we kept adding to it and then we were tired and just figured we had better go ahead send it along…’”
But Jim Bob wasn’t executed. He went on to demand an apology a few textual content message he acquired from Jill, the place she accused him of being “verbally” abusive. His daughter wrote:
“I was nervous now. I remembered the message, remembered sending it in the hope that it might wake Pops up to how bad I felt things had gotten, to maybe make him give us a little space and let things calm down. I’d written about not wanting to be verbally abused, which was exactly how I’d felt at the time. I’d felt it in El Salvador as well. I wasn’t sure that I could apologize for that. I glanced at Derick as I remained speechless.”
Knowing he wasn’t getting an apology when the silence continued, Jim Bob allegedly stood up and took a step towards Jill in an “act of aggression.” She remembered:
“‘You’re not going to apologize? Really?’ His voice was loud, and there was an edge to it that I’d rarely heard. The moderator looked pale and was stuck on mute. Derick tensed, and I could feel him getting ready to step in. I squeezed his hand, hoping he’d get the message.”
Jill continued within the excerpt:
“He towered over me, his whole body fueled with anger. My face flushed red. My eyes filled with tears. Then there was a long, awful silence that I wanted to fill but just couldn’t yet. Derick’s hand was shaking in mine, and I squeezed as hard as I ever had, desperate for him to hold his tongue.”
As Jill cried and “curled up” in her seat, Jim Bob continued to scream. He claimed her emotional response on the time was as a result of she felt “guilty” for her actions. At that time, Jill had sufficient. She fired again at her dad, accusing him of treating her “worse than” her “pedophile brother” Josh Duggar, who molested her and different siblings and is at present in jail on pornography expenses. Jill wrote:
“‘You want to know why I’m crying?’ My voice was cracked, my eyes burning. ‘It’s that you think I’m some kind of horrible person just because I wear pants and have a nose ring, and yet you see that girl outside and praise her. That’s why I’m crying, Daddy. I’m evolving and changing, just like that girl out there, but you can’t see it. You treat me like I’m a prodigal who’s turned her back on you. You treat me worse than you treat my pedophile brother.’”
The incontrovertible fact that Jim Bob would deal with Jill worse than her convicted pedophile brother is disgusting.
