Fd was reared with a sense of Entitlement, not only with the thought that the World Revolved around Him, but also with the thought that He was the ONLY Person that Mattered, even Above his own Children.
He was Also reared to think that it was his Duty to lie, steal, cheat, and scheme to maintain the Status and/or the Illusion of His Self Importance.
Because Fd was Never told the word No as he was growing up and on into his adult life, he Absolutely Fostered this sense of Entitlement.
When someone has this sense of Entitlement, they will do Anything and Everything to Protect that Illusion. They do Not see it as an Illusion, but it Is an Illusion, non the less.
Fd spent his Entire life Protecting that Illusion.
I have said over and over, that had anyone in the Court cases, in this sad Greek Tragedy, held Fd Accountable from the very beginning, we may still have Jennifer and yes, even Fd among us.
Some will say that he would have just murdered JFd sooner.
I say No.
The Fact that Fd got away with Everything during the two years of the divorce, just Reinforced his Entitlement even more and Absolutely Emboldened him even more.
Throughout the Divorce, Fd was coddled by the Courts and his Many No Shows and Failures to provide Accurate Financials in all the Court cases, and yet, was Never held Accountable.
No Wonder Fd was Shocked, Astounded, and Yes, DEVASTATED when Judge White recently Laid Down the Law.
Fd was OUTRAGED that This Judge would DARE to tell HIM, that HE, FD would NOT leave 4JC for work.
Fd was Outraged that This Judge would DARE to tell HIM that 3 Strikes and you are back in Jail and/or Double the Bond.
Fd had Become Accustomed to Not being held Accountable in Court. It was Absolutely Devastating for him to loose that CONTROL.
SO Devastated to be told NO, that he would End his life?
Or, was he SO Devastated, that he wanted to Regain his Control by Staging a Suicide Attempt?
It must have been really tough on Fd to be knocked down a peg or two after all this time of 'Playing' the court system.
It was all a Game to Fd, to be WINNING.
How many times have we seen him grinning and smiling like a Cheshire cat as he walks out of court or after being released from jail?
This last time with Judge White? Not so much.
I am not familiar with Fd's favorite book, The Art of War, but surely there was a chapter on how to Regain his Control?
IMO.
