Testimony from a woman who was exploited by Lundy Bancroft

What I want to say about Lundy Bancroft is that I experienced him as very calculated, and sinister. He’s articulate, intelligent, and superficially charming. He can be empathic and supportive if he wants to be, but it’s lacking genuine depth.

Looking back, I fell right into his trap. I believed him when he said the Peak Living Network (PLN) would host quarterly in-person gatherings and put on retreats at least a couple of times a year. None of that ever happened in the two plus years that I was involved.

What did happen is that I allowed myself to be pulled into helping him do all kinds of administrative tasks for the “network”. He set up a schedule for us to work together, meeting once a week at my house. On the few occasions that he actually showed up at the agreed upon time, he’d say things like “any excuse to get to come over and see you”. He told me more than once that his life was greatly enhanced, now that I was in it. …. click here to read the whole post.
