I rode...This was sooo typical of Douglas Beckstead. I rode his emotional roller coaster of narcissistic, blame and projection for a VERY long time. Every time I tried to get to the bottom of it, ask him normal, logical questions I was ignored. He digressed EVERY single time, unless it was a question directly related to any of his glory-hunting expeditions.<BR/><BR/>If I pressed for answers on a personal basis, as in pertaining to our relationship, he would respond with accusations and pure projection. He became enraged and said that "I was the angry one", that it was me "calling him names" when I was trying to state my position and how I felt, all the long whilst looking for answers from him. He kept this up for just over three years out of the almost seven that we had known him for. He would mix it all up with a bit of word salad to keep us dangling on the hook.<BR/><BR/>I NEVER called him any names. I was trying to explain to him, make him see how he was behaving. I was always trying to make amends for things that I now know I was never guilty of doing. I did feel as if I was going mad, until I found this site and read the other stories here about Gridney and co.<BR/><BR/>Even once Beckstead was outed, and at his own admittance (publicly on one of these threads) he has stated that to him our relationship "was all a game" and that "we deserved what we got" that included my children. He still emailed me after that and said "I was to blame". <BR/><BR/>Well Douglas Beckstead, I am NOT to blame. "I am NOT the one who looks bad". I am free of you and your guilt trips and sadistic game playing. I am happy and doing VERY well, despite ALL that YOU put us through.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your life of lies and deceit.<BR/><BR/>People know what you did to us, they know the truth. YOU know what you have done to us and others. someday I hope your conscience becomes enlightened.<BR/><BR/>We are all better of without you in our lives. I am confidant that in time the odd person that you have managed to con and convince with your lies, will soon realize the truth also.<BR/><BR/>Your self praising glory-hunting has and can only take you so far. People from your past have and do see through you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
