From discovering her father allegedly conned her into signing a contract to nearly dying during childbirth, here are the major revelations from former TLC star Jill Duggar Dillard's new memoir, 'Counting the Cost'
Jill writes about how sickened she was by the leak of something that she assumed would always stay private. She notes that she could barely sleep or eat in the ensuing weeks. The report also dredged up painful memories of what had happened with Josh, details which she deliberately keeps out of the book.
Later, when she was arguing with her father over money, she claimed she yelled at him, "You treat me worse than you treat my pedophile brother!"The Duggar Family.After Jill and Derick began asking about being compensated, she claims Jim Bob and Michelle sat their older kids down and gave them a one-time offer of $80,000 each to "start their lives."
Baby Samuel also ended up in the NICU because he'd been unresponsive at birth, and the doctors warned her that it was possible he'd end up with brain damage because a scan had revealed bleeding on his brain. Jill and Derick didn't learn if Sam had brain damage until he was several months old; luckily the brain bleed had healed itself.Peter Kramer/NBC/NBC
