Jill DillardAre Jill and Derick Dillard still close to the Duggar family? Fans want to know how they really feel about them — especially since they appeared on Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. Keep reading to learn more.

Do Jill & Derick Dillard Love the Duggars?

Fans are debating whether Jill and Derick Dillard love the Duggars. They shared some explosive secrets on the Amazon Prime Video docuseries. One fan took to Reddit to question their relationship. The original thread is titled, “Are Jill and Derrick [SIC] against the Duggars?”

A user who goes by the name Forsaken-Growth-5622 wondered if Jill and Derick are against the family since they went behind their back. The user noted that Derick is looking “healthier” these days and the couple doesn’t seem “brainwashed.” Other fans took to the thread to share their thoughts.

Some of them noted that it’s hard to tell. Jill made it clear that she still loves her parents. However, she’s been more outspoken and honest about their shady religion compared to her siblings. Even though she still loves them doesn’t mean that she’s going to respect them and go with everything they do.

“She still loves them but doesn’t like, trust or respect them now which makes complete sense to me,” one fan responded.

“I think the latter, I have this exact relationship with a good percentage of my own family,” another suggested.

Jill Dillard – Dealing With Unprocessed Trauma

A third fan argued that this question has been brought up before. Jill Dillard is still dealing with the unprocessed trauma from growing up in the family. She has been seeing a therapist who’s helped her see the ugliness and toxicity of her family.

Jim Bob feels that Jill is a threat to him and his family. As a result, the couple isn’t allowed at the family compound. They can only be there when Jim Bob can oversee what they’re doing.

He fears that Jill and Derick could get access to the family’s finances and contracts, which is something they brought up on Shiny Happy People.

Other fans noted that you can still love your family and realize they’re toxic. It’s also possible that Jill and Derick are looking for a genuine apology from her parents, and that won’t happen anytime soon.
