<p id=”par-1_92″>For years, Duggar family critics largely suspected that Joshua Duggar, despite all of his legal woes and scandals, was Jim Bob Duggar’s favored child. The father of 19 certainly seemed to put more stock in Josh than in his other kids and was pretty supportive, at least publicly, following Josh’s scandals and eventual arrest. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/unearthed-emails-show-just-how-much-anna-duggar-resented-her-in-laws.html/”>Leaked jailhouse emails</a>, however, suggest that Joshua Duggar saw things very differently. In a scathing email, he lambasts his parents for criticizing him his entire life and suggests his siblings might have some skeletons in their closets, too.</p>

<p id=”par-2_70″>Duggar family followers have long known the family was not as wholesome as they claimed. Josh Duggar’s recently released emails, however, shed new light on the family’s dysfunction. In emails Josh sent while awaiting sentencing on his federal child pornography charges, he shot off dozens of messages. One, addressed to his parents, had the eldest Duggar boy raging over the way he felt he had been treated by his family.</p>

<p id=”par-3_81″>In the email, Josh bemoans having sent his father a “nice” email, only to be criticized in return. He goes on to insist that his parents had spent years using him as an example of what not to do and pitting his siblings against him. In a chilling turn, considering recent events, he predicted his siblings also had skeletons in their closets. It’s unclear what Jim Bob might have thought of his son’s feelings. The emails were originally shared on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/DuggarsSnark/comments/1sywnzm/emails_josh_sent_from_prison/”>Reddit</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-4_42″>Several more emails, many between himself and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/a-complete-list-of-the-duggar-family-scandals.html/”>his wife, Anna Duggar, </a>have been released in recent days. Those emails also paint an interesting picture. The Duggar family has not released a statement about the recently unearthed correspondence. They probably never will. </p>

<p id=”par-5_42″>If Josh Duggar is hoping to address his family troubles face-to-face, it will take a bit longer than expected. While Josh was once <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/josh-duggars-federal-prison-release-date-moved-to-2033.html/”>scheduled for release from FCI Seagoville</a> in December 2032, his release date has been pushed back to February 2033.</p>

<p id=”par-6_68″>The Bureau of Prisons does not comment on individual inmates’ records or situations. Still, a release date that is pushed further out is typically the result of a disciplinary issue. This is not the first time Josh’s release date has been changed. He was previously disciplined for possession of contraband. According to <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/14596138/josh-duggar-kicked-out-remodeled-luxury-dorm-texas-prison/”>the U.S. Sun</a>, he was also transferred out of his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/josh-duggar-puts-himself-danger-sporting-sunglasses-sneakers-prison-attorney-says.html/”>honors dorm</a> due to rule violations.</p>
