Amen to this . Narcissists are incapable of feeling anything but their own desires . I don’t think it’s as much a character flaw as a physiological trait they are born with and is exacerbated by people telling them they are so handsome and smart and can do no wrong . MT may have some of the same traits but is no where near as flawed as he is or she wouldn’t have gotten mixed up with him in the first place . That’s why I think she was just a tool to get him what he wanted and then dispose of her when the task was done .
I agree with you that narcissists (and sociopaths) are born that way. Some become worse than others depending
on their upbringing and surroundings.
However, I doubt MT would’ve stayed around much longer. She was more and more realizing how broke he actually was/is. I think MT was fooled, at the beginning of their relationship, with FD’s charm, his lies about how wealthy he was, how successful Fore Group was.
MT finally found out that FD was not the wealthy man he tried to portray... and, unless she had a lot money herself, she would have eventually left him.
MT feared that FD and Fore Group were becoming financial failures. Her attitude, her fear, and her conversations with FD (“Hey loverboy, where’s all the money?”), including possible threats to leave him, were huge influences in FD’s plan to kill JD, get the kids and their trust funds.
Otherwise, MT, with her daughter, would be off to find another rich man.
