Jill Duggar Sees Mom, Michelle As The Safe Parent?
Jill Duggar Dillard claimed that her dad, Jim Bob Duggar could allegedly be aggressive with her. But, Counting On fans wonder if she isn’t throwing her mom, Michelle under the bus because she sees her as the “safer” parent. Was it possible that Michelle was an enabler of a narcissist? Read on to find out what TLC viewers are thinking.
Jill Duggar Dillard Seems Okay With Her Mom, Michelle
In her book, Counting The Cost, Derick Dillard’s wife seemed afraid of her father. But there have been some discussions online about whether he was the only alleged villain. In December last year, some TLC fans discussed Michelle Duggar because they noticed that her daughter seemed to feel bad. After all, she placed her mom in the middle of a nasty situation.
Jill Duggar spoke with ET and revealed that she speaks with her father, and Jim Bob Duggar keeps things polite. Meanwhile, she constructed some boundaries, and she sees her mom when she can. That’s because she believes that she understands why her mom did certain things because of the position she was in. Well, TLC fans now wonder if that position was just being an enabler, making her the safer parent.
Michelle Duggar Was The Safer Parent?
On Reddit, an OP who raised the subject of safe parents and enabling parents raised some interesting points. In part, they said:
I was just watching the podcast where Derek and Jill go on talking about their life and book and stuff… and … Jill really seems to defend Michelle a lot. Anyway, she talks about how she got joy… as her first buddy at 6 years old and the interviewer seems to be like wow that’s crazy and she’s…defending Michelle…
As the long post continued, it basically explained that the OP felt that Jill Duggar felt safer with her mom. However, that didn’t make her a safe parent in their opinion. In the comments section, a lot of people concluded that Michelle was allegedly an enabler, and it will take time for her daughter to realize that.
- Jill still sees Meech as the “safe” parent instead of the “safer” parent, and she may never progress past that stage. She is holding one parent responsible for the time being, and time will tell if she ever holds her other parent responsible.
- It’s very common in abusive households to see the enabler parent as the “safe” one. It takes years of unpacking to realize they used you, the child, as a meat shield. Spend time on the abuse subs and you’ll read the story over and over again.
- Would you want to have one sh-t parent or two sh-t parents? JB is obviously a monster, Michelle’s neglect is more subtle.
Can you relate to the thinking of TLC fans that Michelle Duggar wasn’t really a good mom, but she wasn’t as aggressive as her dad, so Jill saw her as a safer person to be with? Was one of your parents safer than the other? Sound off in the comments below, and come back here for all your Counting On family news.
