“Only those who have experienced it will understand my thought process.”
Shannon wasn’t diagnosed until after MAFS was filmed, which means he didn’t have medication support throughout the show or his childhood.
He jokingly added, “If I were on meth, I’d be so up during these 4 a.m. commitment festivities, not looking glassy-eyed and ready for bed.”

Shannon also admitted that he was “toxic” during his relationship with Caitlin McConville, but said he had his reasons.
He explained that his cruel behavior was a result of Caitlin’s negligence towards his desire to meet his child.
“She didn’t have to meet my child and she didn’t care if I didn’t meet her,” he explained, skeptical of her intentions on the show.
‘what were you doing there? Just to be another Bronte to keep your phone cover on? “
In a surprising twist, Shannon claims Caitlin wrote the word “staycation” during the last weeks of the show, but it was manipulated to look like she was ready to turn it down.
Shannon said he was “so hurt” by Caitlin’s disrespect for his child. You treat my child like nothing, I will treat you like nothing. a period!’

However, Shannon doesn’t entirely play the victim card.
I’ll have my share when I need to, and I’ll have my fair share of f***-ups, as we’re well aware,” he admitted.
Despite their differences, he acknowledged that Caitlin was right about one thing, though he chose to keep his private life private.
