The Duggars are slowly speaking up about their ill feelings toward Josh Duggar following his family's decision for him to be in rehab due to his past molestation acts toward his sisters and his involvement of the leak of the infidelity site, Ashley Madison.

In an exclusive interview with ET Online, one of the Duggars expressed being frustrated and furious with him.

"We are all shocked and broken and furious. Who did we spend Christmases with? Who have we grown up with? Who is this person? This is supposed to be a happy time, and there is a dark cloud over our family," one member said.

"Josh's integrity is gone. It's scary. You never know who can have a double life. You really think you know someone. Josh was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and I hope he gets broken in rehab and gets the help he needs. I hope Anna finds the strength to make some changes," another member added.

Another member though expressed his hopes despite being broken and is hoping that Josh rehab would change him for the better.

"My heart is broken over this. I hope and pray Josh gets the help he needs. I believe he is getting that help. We had no idea about any of this. We love our family and we are praying for Josh. Thank you for all the prayers and support of all the friends and fans."

Previously, People learned that Josh's wife, Anna, the daughter of parents Mike and Suzette Keller, has never thought about considering a divorce in adherence to her family's strict Catholic beliefs on the sanctity of marriage.

"I don't think her parents ever thought they would ever come to a situation like this. They always taught their kids that divorce was never an option. They never even thought about cheating. But that's not how life works," a source told the publication.

Earlier this week, Anna's brother, Daniel Keller slammed Anna's decision to stay in her marriage despite his husband's infidelity.

Amidst a barrage of comments on Facebook, Daniel posted "I have told her I would pay for her to move out here w me and pay for her kids. I don't think Josh will see that this is a big deal and be truly broken till that happens," he wrote as mentioned in IB Times.
