Just like most women who have ever been cheated on, Anna Duggar from "19 Kids and Counting" was initially in shock and denial after learning that her husband Josh Duggar cheated on her using the Ashley Madison website.

This was what the mother of four revealed during her guest appearance in the documentary entitled "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," according to ET Online.

"It's like, I'm going to wake up and everything's going to be okay," she said. "This can't be true."

Anna was determined to believe the best about her husband, and she admitted that it "was heartbreaking to hear what had happened."

Josh's younger sister Jill, who is now happily married to Derick Dillard, was also heartbroken over her brother's transgressions. What made the situation even more difficult was that she and younger sister Jessa Seewald had just spoken in defence of him following news that he molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Two of his victims were Jill and Jessa.

"It wasn't right for him to let us speak our words without having full knowledge of what he was hiding," Jill said. "I cried a lot of tears. My first thoughts were for Anna."

Jessa feels the same way, and could not believe someone so close to them has managed to live a double life. "Someone who you love, how could this happen?" she questioned.

However, Jill chooses to continue looking at the glass half full. Even though the family lost their reality show "19 Kids and Counting" because of Josh's mistakes, she believes that their ordeals will only bring them closer together. "We will come out of this fire, so to speak, as a family unit," she said.
