In trying to put together more details about fD,
and his upbringing and where things went wrong in his developing brain and how he grew
up with questionable character and ethics, I
see afitzy provided some helpful info above:
So fD's father, born in 1911 and his mother, born 1933 had a wide age gap. Father was 22 years
older than his mother.
Was this his first and only wife? Father Dulos
was appx. 43 when Rena was born. He was 56
when little Fotie was born.
Father D. was 64 yrs. old when little Fotie was
sent to Athens College at 8 years old. Was
Fotie sent as a boarding student to live at the
school away from family?
Athens College is considered a respected
private prep school. Many future leaders in Greek politics and gov't attend the school. It
is not easy to get accepted and I'm guessing it's not cheap.

So was Mama Dulos his first wife? Married her
at 43, she was maybe 20ish. Was there a first wife? Big question here. I like to look closely
at marriages where there's a wide disparity in
ages. What's going on here.
Again, was there a first wife who divorced him,
or got disappeared or ran off?
So back to fotie, was he sent off to boarding school at 8 yrs. old because he was a PIA to
his 64 yr. old father who wanted him out of the way and A.C.
was a respectable school?
Why no other children between Rena and Fotie, a period of 13 years?
So IF Fotie was raised at the boarding school
instead of in a loving, attentive family, I could see where there may be some gaps in a normal
upbringing and a failure to form normal attachments to other people. Could also have been the beginnings of fears of abandonment and why fD panicked when JFD packed up the kids and left him.
I've talked to people sent off to boarding school
around that same age (8) and they felt as though they were being sent off to prison and
being chopped off out of the family. Not a warm, secure feeling for an 8 year. old.
Think back to your thoughts and feelings at 8 years old.
This may have been part of fD's weird wiring.
I'd also like to know what his father did for work. Was he in gov't? A businessman?
He must have been successful financially to
afford the schooling he gave fD.
So for now, I'm going with fotie was raised away from family primarily at boarding school.
