The Duggar family's journey continues as Anna Duggar reveals in the second installment of "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" that no, she will not leave husband Josh Duggar despite his cheating and molestation scandals, FOX News reports.

The "19 Kids and Counting" spinoff on TLC, which aired on Sunday, showed Anna talking about her journey and heartbreak caused by her husband's controversies.

"When your world is shattered, there are a lot of emotions that you have to walk through and initially it was just crying and crying and crying and then you get to a place where you can't cry anymore and start to go on with life -- and then you start crying all over again," Anna said while in tears, calling Josh's scandal as a "betrayal."

However, despite the trials, Anna reveals that she will stick by her husband's side. "I know that there are those who feel I have every right to walk away from this marriage and I respect other people's views but in my heart, when I got married, I vowed to God first and then to Joshua, 'for better or worse, 'til death do we part'…."

"I would love him and forgive him and that I would wait patiently and allow God to work in our hearts and my prayer and my heart's desire is for our marriage to be restored," the mom of four continued.

It can be remembered that early this year, the Duggar family has been under fire when Josh was confirmed to have sexually molested underage girls, including her sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar. However, the controversies intensified when Josh name appeared to be one of the users of infidelity site Ashley Madison, spending almost $1,000 to cheat on Anna, per Gawker.

Recently, adult film star Danica Dillon also surfaced to sue Josh for $500,000. According to Radar Online, Dillon assaulted and manhandled her during two sexual occasions, giving her Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

During the second episode of "Jill & Jessa: Counting On," Anna revealed that she was "shocked" and "in denial" upon discovering Josh's wrongdoings. "I really thought everything was okay and that we had a strong marriage," she revealed.

Anna also revealed that it was Josh's decision to enter rehab for his porn addiction, saying, "he decided…he needed a lot of help." And while her husband is in rehab, Anna and the four kids moved back to Arkansas to live with other members of the Duggar family.

Do you think Anna staying with Josh despite cheating on her was a good decision?
