Description
A husband and wife embark on a journey of catharsis and reflection as they read an old diary chronicling the struggles of an undiagnosed autistic teenager growing up with reality TV's Duggar family and fundamentalist Christianity. Through laughter and tears, they deconstruct the past in an entertaining and unvarnished examination of a unique upbringing.

3In this introductory episode, the process of opening up begins with a serious (and occasionally lighthearted) look at the journal's first entries. We discuss the first Duggar meeting as well as early indicators of struggle with Josh. Family bands, JCPenney catalogs, home church, and congregational confession are discussed.
We react to Josh Duggar's bond hearing, continue reading journal entries, and break down how fundamentalism exploits the vulnerable in order to reserve power for a select few.
In a very personal episode, we unpack the impact of shame and self-punishment, recall how a friendship ended in betrayed trust, and discuss why the traumatic profiteering behind popular reality shows needs to end.
In part one of our final session, we laugh and cry as we discuss burning passions, the weight of doubt, and what it means to fully embrace our humanity.
In our final episode, we discuss our love story, the slow process of moving on, discovering autism, and what it means to run with the wolves.

I'm on episode 2 and this is interesting. Though the vocal fry is hard to listen to from these two
This is such a lovely love story, and you can feel the genuine love and connection between the two of you. Thank you for sharing this intimate and special story. I was not raised in the same cultural upbringing but I also made sure that no one was asking for my hand when I got married!
So I'm completely technology stupid!! If he is computer savvy, why did he not get another IP address. This again is coming from someone who would flunk a Computer for Dummies course.
