One of the members of the Duggar family is speaking out about her decision to pull away from her strict upbringing in a new book.Jinger Duggar Vuolo, who rose to fame with her parents and siblings on TLC's reality series "19 Kids and Counting," is sharing her decision to pull away from her strict upbringing in her new book "Becoming Free Indeed.
Vuolo wrote "Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear" about her departure from the strict Christian teachings she said caused her to suffer with perfectionism, eating disorders and panic attacks. The Duggar family consists of devoted followers of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, founded by Minister Bill Gothard. Voulo is now renouncing his philosophies."I thought it was all true, all these teachings from this man I had followed. It was a teacher that -- I grew up thinking was teaching me the Bible. And I thought that his words were the words of God. And it wasn't until I got older, I stopped and started to examine his teachings," she said.
Vuolo said it's also difficult to talk about her brother, Josh Duggar, who is accused of sexual abuse.
