She married a man originally from Sydney, Australia. He took $227,000 from her. He cheated with at least six different women during their 2.5-year relationship. He had a child with one of the women. Then, 10 days after she left him, he married the mother of the child. It was the second time he committed bigamy.
Of course, it was only after she left him that she discovered the extent of his betrayal. In the beginning, she thought she'd met the man of her dreams.
Anderson found that he had told her two types of lies:
Lies mixed with truth. His story would be plausible, but she'd notice inconsistencies. When she questioned the discrepancies, he would either explain them away or accuse her of being paranoid.
Totally brazen lies. A normal person, even one prone to exaggeration, would never think of making extraordinary claims that he had made.
Anderson left him but it wasn’t until she went through the papers he left in her house and called some of the “other women” that she realized everything he told her was a lie.
Her therapist suggested that the man might be a sociopath. After researching the topic she found a book, called Without Conscience by Dr. Robert Hare, an international expert on psychopaths (a form of sociopath). His book described he ex husband precisely.
Anderson was shocked. She was even more shocked to learn that millions of these human predators live among us.
She then realized that she had an important story to tell — and a warning to convey.
After launching Lovefraud.com, Anderson wrote eight books. Her latest book is Senior Sociopaths — How to Recognize and Escape Lifelong Abusers. This is the first to document that 14 million Americans over age 50 may be sociopaths, and their behavior is just as bad, or worse, as they age. If you’re waiting for a senior sociopath to grow up or calm down, you’re wasting your life.
