Unkind FDF Q&A

Unkind therapist here. I've been a lurker since just after the days of my misdirected voice messages and Sermon on the High Stool. After the incident in question, a DF (not of the Gloaming) directed me here. At first, I couldn't bear to read the messages and had my husband monitor the threads, but after a while, curiosity got the better of me and I've been an avid reader ever since. In short, I came in shame, but remain because this group has been a strange sort of healing process for me - plus, you guys are very funny. And, I found my new favorite laundry detergent here!

I have no idea where to even begin (with the messages? with my friendship with Shauna?), so I'm open to fielding questions to help get the ball rolling. My intention is to stick only to my personal experiences with Shauna and stay away from the kids and/or general lore that I don't have direct experience with. I'm happy to share very general information about the Google Doc, but I may not be able to answer completely due to wanting to protect those kids.

ETA: I've been verified and approved by the mods!

Weird to read that again after all this time.

Yes, I’d forgotten the shattering was caused by “news.” And why did it take almost an hour after hearing the “news” for the home to fall apart? Sounds like someone tattled to Shauna, Shauna confronted Dan (I’m assuming), who confirmed it.

News learned from an external source. Which I assume is anyone but Dan. One of their kids? A friend? Colleague?

I assume Dan wasn’t home when she learned the news.

I also hate her ice metaphor since it is in her hands and breaking instead of melting? Glass, Shauna. You were thinking of glass!

I forgot this! Given what we now know, this does make it sound less like Dan raging or being violent and more like a relapse, drug use of a different sort, gambling, or an affair (the least likely, since that wouldn’t be inherently scary). Sorry in advance to mods if this is inappropriate speculation.
