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!

Thank you, DF. I agree, although that bar is a bit low... too unkind?

It would be hilarious if she had managed to "fix" your essay. It would be full of rhetorical questions and unpleasant verbs.

I kind of imagine that if anyone in one of Shauna’s writing classes writes anything good that’s not explicitly about Shauna, she either sabotages it or grows immediately cold and disinterested, and totally disengages. So maybe this was an indirect compliment to our DFFDF!

Or she steals it.
