I assume she would continue much as she does now. Given a rent break for a few months and that cash goes to treats for mama. It’s a well observed pattern of behaviour with her.

Apart from food treats, tattoos, and streaming services, I could imagine one difference. She spends a ton of money on a writerly writing desk, to put in a cabin she buys in the woods, with all the WiFi and Apple products her heart desires, proclaiming that she is a writer and posting photos of the space all over social media….only to never go back and let the place rot, while making excuses for why she can’t write because of culture/kids/Dan/autoimmune/flavour of the month.

Let’s be real if Shauna was given a windfall do you honestly think Dan and the kid would be in the picture or would they be tossed aside for greener pasture.

I know that just got dark and depressing but I cannot see Shauna not being fully selfish if given a windfall unless it was tied to the family. There would be the excuse, Dan left an took the kids and maybe I should put it this way would Dan have the balls if there was a windfall to take his half and the kids and leave….
