Jill Duggar

At this point, the feud between Jim Bob Duggar and Derick Dillard has been going on for so long that it's almost impossible to imagine the two men ever reaching a peaceful resolution.

And the conflict may have had permanently damaging effects on some of Jim Bob's other relationships, most notably the one with his daughter and Derick's wife, Jill Duggar.

Jill Duggar appears to have made a pretty huge statement on her Instagram Stories page.

And it has to do with her life, her family and whether the two will ever intertwine again.

When Jana Duggar joined Instagram last year, the move took many fans by surprise.

You see, according to the strict Duggar courtship rules, social media is reserved for those who have already entered serious romantic relationships.

Like just about every other family in the country, the Duggars celebrated a different sort of Mother's Day this year, as the coronavirus pandemic keeps us locked in our homes or standing six feet apart.

But for Michelle and her daughter Jill, the holiday was unlike any other for reasons that have nothing to do with the public health crisis.

Jill Duggar reportedly has one wish for Mother's Day.

It should be a simple one. It should be one that isn't difficult to be granted.

There's reason to believe that when Derick Dillard married Jill Duggar, he assumed he would never again have to worry about money.

Shortly after the wedding, Derick quit his job as an accountant at Wal-Mart, seemingly with the goal of becoming a full-time reality star, and/or living off his wife's TLC earnings.

At this point in her career, Jill Duggar has been mom-shamed so frequently and so brutally that we doubt she bats an eye when some internet stranger threatens to call CPS.

But the latest public belittling might be the most painful yet, as it pertains to her youngest son's newly-diagnosed health issues.

According to a very reliable source, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard may have found the ultimate way to get back at the former's father.

That reliable source is Dillard himself.

At this point in the coronavirus pandemic, you've probably been forced to venture out and procure provisions at least once.

And even though you knew what to expect -- nervous people in face masks keeping a safe six-foot distance from one another -- you might still have been thrown for a loop by your first experience of a world that's been completely transformed.

The coronavirus has claimed nearly 140,000 lives worldwide and killed more than 30,000 Americans,

But believe it or not, there are still folks who believe it's a big conspiracy designed to ... prevent Americans from enjoying a baseball season in 2020?

If you're a fan of the Duggar clan, then by now you've probably heard about the Derick Dillard vs. Jim Bob Duggar feud that's been dragging on for months.

These two have been at each other's throats for so long that the Dillards and the Duggars even spent Thanksgiving and Christmas apart.

While the rest of the world frets about the possibility of contracting COVID-19, Jim Bob Duggar is trying to contain a different kind of threat.

If you're a longtime Counting On fan, you know that Jim Bob values nothing more than control over his family, particularly his daughters.

As you're probably aware, 2019 was the year of the great Duggar baby boom.

Over the course of those 12 months, numerous Duggar daughters and daughters-in-law either got pregnant or welcomed children.

Very few families on the planet are more prepared for disaster than the Duggars.

After all, these are people who spend their days fantasizing about the end times and living in a home that's commonly referred to as "the compound."

The Duggars are a polarizing family.

This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.

For years, critics of the Duggar family have quietly hoped that one of Jim Bob and Michelle's many children would break away from the beliefs and traditions that their parents hold so dear.

For the Duggars, life is structured around rules, and those who deviate from the norm are subject to being cast out of the family and left to fend for themselves.

After years of blindly doing everything her parents say, Jill Duggar has developed a fondness for breaking with family tradition.

Sure, the change is largely a result of Derick Dillard's feud with Jim Bob Duggar, but it seems the Dillards have been planning to go their own way for a while now.

For a while there, it looked as though there was good reason for Duggar fans to be very concerned.

After all, the tenth season of Counting On aired its final episodes in late 2019, and then ... crickets.

Derick Dillard is not exactly on great terms with his awful in-laws. For that matter, even Jill has to beg for permission to see her own siblings.

Now, Derick has taken a liking to the idea of a Dillard family spinoff of Counting On, where they could expose Jim Bob for exactly what he is.
