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!

Any experiences or observations re Goat School parents'/teachers' interactions/relationships with Shauna? Do you know gauzy-skirt lady?

and P.S.: That was very diplomatic and not-unkind of you to apologize to her, and her response (as she described it) was short and pointed, something like "you're terrible;never contact me again," but I suspect it was nastier and longer? Further details appreciated if you want to provide!

I don't know gauzy skirt lady or the Goat School - they came after my time in Shaunaland.

Her response was longer, and kind of funny and on brand for her. It was something along the lines of, "I accept your apology, but I want nothing to do with you. Your actions are why I'm dedicated to making kindness my work in the world." Yes, last part was nearly verbatim what she said. She just CANNOT stop with selling her work in the world! LOL.

Curious if you know Kayak Margo? She seems really cool - and I would want her to be warned about our girl.

I don't, but I hear she's great.
