Today I’m reacting to the Duggar/Megyn Kelly interview, pulling this one out of the archive--but also trying to highlight how these family dynamics exist. I take a look at Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's responses to their son, Josh Duggar's behaviors--all through a psychological lens of how this affects the family unit. I'm highlighting and explaining how deflection and denial can be strong agents in family unit's where refusal to take responsibility is present.
