I've been trying to put together a timeline of MT's various positions, life, and when and where she became entangled with FD. No one seems to be able to state when her relationship with JD started.
One of the more shocking revelations in JD's divorce filing is the statement concerning spending weekends at JX with FD, MT, and her child. I can't comprehend the horror and outrage JD must have felt, but I can't fathom that MT could have gone along with this crazy scheme. FD to MT: "Hey, there are a lot of bedrooms in the house, so we can accommodate my current wife and our 5 kids here along with your daughter and you and I." Any other woman probably would have bailed at the suggestion. Now she's had to post bail.
Seriously, if MT was aware that FD suggested the above to Jennifer and didn't have serious thoughts about FD's morals and scruples and PEOPLE SENSE, she too must be as insufferable as FD.
FD is the classic youngest, charming manipulator child in a family. I imagine that the his older sister did everything for him. (BTW, where was mom??) Adler's birth order psychology might make FD an only or the youngest. Either way, this dynamic has potential to skew the kiddo's view of the world. Possible outcomes include:
"Wants to be bigger than the others. May have huge plans that never work out. Can stay the "baby." Frequently spoiled." or "Is more competitive, wants to overtake older child. May become a rebel or try to outdo everyone. Competition can deteriorate into rivalry." I wonder how often his sister let him "win."

Some have wondered when FD began to "stray." I think some of the answers are in the blog. FD expected Jennifer to effortlessly take care of the 5 children and be there for him whenever he wanted. She alludes to this when blogging about her time in Greece where everyone stayed up late and then she had to get up early to care for the children. She wondered how they did that in Greece. MT was probably a lot more "fun." She only has one child who spends part of the year with her biological father. MT can party, stay up late, be at FD's beck and call, and be more spontaneous than a drudge with responsibilities to someone other than her irresponsible husband....just thinking aloud.....
