After I wrote this blog post yesterday, this report came out in the Newspaper today about Weatherstone. Exactly what I had the guy pegged for, below is an excerpt from NZPA
"The psychiatrist, called as a witness by the defence, said that Weatherston controlled the interview he had with him. He had a chronological list he was referring to, and the notes did not include the killing of Miss Elliott.
He had a lack of empathy or remorse and blamed Miss Elliott for the situation he was now in, Prof Brinded told the 17th and final day of evidence in Weatherston's murder trial."
I have experienced profound reactions when watching Clayton Weatherston, I am sure we have all met in our lives someone who may resemble this narcissistic, egotistical, psychopath. My personal experience with such a character, actually I have known of at least three men who remarkably, resemble this man.
One of whom has changed my life profoundly forever. An example of this dare I say person I knew, stalked, manipulated, played mind games, power games, he was abusive and would justify his actions by always blaming the person whom he is with. He bragged about how he nearly drove his ex partner to suicide and committal in order for him to take his kids. He said it took him 2 weeks to break her. He felt no remorse. he spent years breaking this woman down, driving her to medication, self doubt, depression and many break downs.
When I met this deceptive character he was charming, intelligent, semi professional and came across as a family man. However when he said to me after just two weeks of seeing him "I knew you were strong on the outside but vulnerable on the inside", I knew I had to run away from him. But he kept coming back. He was also still seeing and trying to break his ex.
It took ten months of obsessive behaviour, stalking, hiding on my property, texting and calling all hours of the night(sleep deprivation), threats, using other people to contact me, name calling, etc, before I had to call for help.
Why did I wait so long before calling for help. Well I had no faith in the justice system here, the police take ages to respond, he was such a charmer and so plausible he would manipulate anyone who challenged him. Because it wasn't a Domestic Violence situation as we never resided together and it was over well before it began I wasn't entitled to any real legal protection.
When this person realised I knew what he was about and who he was, he upped the anti. He tried and nearly succeeded many times to crush my dignity, self esteem, and confidence, that is how they gain control. They are so weak they need you weaker for complete dominance.
It was the final trauma after 10 months of being associated with him that, he inflicted upon me which led to me having this surgery. I wasn't the first woman, he had hurt in such a manner. He breached a temporary protection order 4 times, it didn't stop him from continual stalking. What is scary about all of this is this despicable person works in the Mental Health sector with vulnerable people. His employers know of his charges and criminal record yet he is still employed. He gets away with it because he isn't much different from Clayton Weatherston in character. Even after his criminal convictions he went and stalked and harassed another woman. He will never change, and believes he also is innocent of any crime. I daily have to see a bag reminding of his crime. But I have survived, and healed.
