This is exactly what the author of this article is not able to grasp or is willingly overlooking. Even in their replies they seem to keep suggesting that Anna is somehow the victim or at least a devout enough wife that she isn’t doing anything to protect her children from the monster that is their father. But the simple truth is, Anna isn’t staying because of some pious devotion to her marriage over her offspring. She’s enabling this predatory behavior in her husband by keeping him around children (even if they are his own, that has clearly not stopped him) and raking in the media money that she will surely get out of this while still upholding the “Christian values" in front of society so she can walk of out this hellish saga with her head held high and demand sympathy and revenue. They’re not equally culpable but the author needs to wrap her around the fact that Anna and Josh’s entire family who let this happen are far, far more culpable than they’ve been made out to be.
