Anna Duggar went through a lot this year as she dealt with husband Josh's back-to-back scandals.
Josh admitted to cheating on his wife a few months after he admitted that he molested two of his sisters and three other young girls when he was a teenager. The molestation scandal led to the cancellation of the Duggar's reality show on TLC and in August, the "19 Kids and Counting" star entered rehab to seek help for his addictions.
Anna kept silent about her husband's scandals for a few months, but the mother of four finally talked about them and said that the pain she endured was similar to being in labor.
On the third episode of the TLC special "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," Anna, and Josh's sisters Jessa and Jinger gathered at Jessa and Ben's house to prepare some meals. Being at the house brought a lot of memories for Anna because it was the first house that she and Josh lived in. The conversation inevitably turned to Anna as Jessa asked her how she's holding up, and she said that the scandals have been bad for everyone.
"I think it's a good opportunity to draw close to God and just trusting for His wisdom to take the next step," said Anna.
Anna also said that at one point, she felt as if "I've been in labor for like, days."
"Because when you're in labor you just make it through the next contraction and go on," she explained. "I think there's been a lot of that lately -- of just taking the next step and going on."
While there have been some speculations that Anna will be divorcing Josh soon, a new report claims that she has chosen to forgive him and not push through with divorce proceedings.
"This is a huge deal, because she was seriously about to pull the plug on the relationship," a source told Hollywoodlife.
The insider said that Josh was "elated" with the news and promised to help Anna rebuild her trust in him.
