Has the Duggar Family Fully Accepted Josh Duggar? Here’s Some Proof

It's been a while since Josh Duggar got tangled on sex and cheating scandal, but people still don't forget. Not his family though. The Duggars seem to have forgiven and fully accepted Josh, as evident in recent family social media posts.

Jim Bob Duggar has brought his sons to the EAA Oshkosh Airshow 2016, Josh included. They took a family photo and shared it on their social media pages. Most recently, they also shared a video showing little Meredith, Josh's daughter, learning how to walk. A report from The Bitbag noted the speculations that the whole Duggar family has been ignoring the eldest Duggar child. Fans did not fail to notice how Michelle and Jim Bob did not dare mention his name in their anniversary message, but instead referred to him as "first child."

Josh Duggar may have created so much hate from fans who have been following the Duggars, perhaps out of their high expectations from a Christian family, which is supposed to be a role model when it comes to living righteously. The Duggars have actually been trying to rebuild Josh's reputation and bringing his name once in a while in the public. However, fans are quick to send harsh comments. That could be one of the reasons that the family tries to avoid mentioning him.

But one of the Christian teachings is forgiveness, and so it's not really surprising for the Duggars to accept Josh. They are family after all. Anna Duggar and Josh Duggar have reunited since Josh went out of the faith-based rehab, and reports said they are attending professional marriage counseling.

Meanwhile, "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" Season 2 premiered on Aug. 23. From last season's focus on the family getting back to their feet after the scandals and the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting," the new season features new development among the Duggar daughters, particularly the engagement of Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo. Jessa Duggar has also revealed to be pregnant with Ben Seewald's second child. Rumors said that Josh Duggar would appear sometime in the show, but that has not been confirmed.
