He’s been exposed as a child molester, lost his reality television empire, confessed to a pornography addiction and paying for affairs, and now Josh Duggar has set himself up for another fall.
In a statement released on his family’s website, Josh Duggar has revealed that he is checking himself into a “long-term treatment centre” in the search for “wholeness and recovery”.
“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh,” read the statement, “As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others.”
“He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear,” continued the statement.
“Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center,” it reads, “For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery.”
“We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change,” they added, “In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future.”
“During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family,” it concluded.
It is not known into which treatment facility Josh has checked himself into, for how long he is planning to stay, nor what he is being “treated” for.
