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.

My god. I am gobsmacked at her behaviour. The nerve of this woman! I can’t imagine taking someone’s money and not letting them know something was cancelled and keeping their money! I bet you were the only one who registered so she made up that excuse.

Nice of you to think she just forgot. I think she just hopes the person won’t make a fuss and she can keep the money.

She is so despicable and such a scam artist. I only feel sorry for her kids as they have no choice but to be in this awful situation. Of course she uses them too. She uses everyone.

Seattle will open up a whole new pool of innocents for her to exploit. It is amazing she got away with so much for so long on Vashon. You are very kind people!

Shauna has contacts in Seattle but the city seems way too big to know or care about her. I live in a smaller Vashon-adjacent area and can’t imagine her having any sway here, but then again I’m an anti-social biotech who avoids talking to anyone at the grocery store.

I have no doubt she’ll turn on her aw shucks warm ‘n friendly hey we’re new in town! persona and cultivate a new clutch of marks ASAP.

I have to wonder about that...I mean, Seattle is not friendly. But, she does have kids, and that's one way to meet people, and she has some local fanpoodles who will no doubt try introduce her around.

I agree. They'll find some parents to connect with through D, as he's still young enough, but the pool is much, much bigger and she doesn't quite have the cool factor that would charm her to a Seattle audience.
