Hi Ferrel,
Elsie called
to tell me about this e-mail below that we received from Louise today and I'd
like to talk to you about it. (Maybe
tonight, if you are available.) I have
no idea what Louise is talking about I can attest that we have not even
mentioned Louise in our conversations in the last few months. Also, I am not happy at all that she CC's
Mike Laberge, Gerald Gauthier, and I don't even know who S.A. Green is. I think it sounds quite disruptive to our
movement if she responds "in kind and with the full force of my own
research on his own dubious history". [I answered by phone that I had no idea what she meant
by this--FC]
[The president
is responding here to my second-support-meeting concerns, just raised at the
Feb. meeting:]
Regarding the meeting on Monday, I
am going to call Jiggs and ask that he provide me with a promise to run the meetings in St.
Albert and that if he is going to get [Source A] to chair meetings that he do
so when [Tim] is present. Hopefully, that
will save us from wrong legal advice being given out.
In addition, I agree that we should schedule Education meetings when it
is impossible to have Jiggs in St. Albert and we should also look into a more
central location to move to eventually. [Back]
Best
Regards,

A Message to
Ecmas, Merge and Geif, from Parents Helping Parents
February 13,
2001
=========================================
Once again,
today, I was reminded of the fact that my former employer, Ferrel Christensen,
is finding any opportunity to disparage me since our total disassociation of
November, 2000. I am well aware of Mr.
Christensen's activities as I am told about them on a regular basis. And while it is no secret that we despise
each other, I have for three months ignored these provocations in the hope that
Mr. Christensen would eventually cease his behaviour in a natural way as most
of us would do. Unfortunately, I have
come to the conclusion that Mr. Christensen is not like ordinairy folk, and is
unable to let go of his rage.
I therefore
wish to state for the record that I view an attack upon my reputation and my
character as no different then a physical attach upon my person. I further wish to advise, in all seriousness,
that should this libelous behaviour continue, I shall be left with no choice
but to bring our dispute to full public light.
In addition, I have drafted a formal complaint to the Human Rights
Commission concerning Mr. Christensen's behaviour as an employer, who invited
me here under the false pretense that he represented a legitimate organization
run by a board of directors. Though this
has not been filed, it will be if this behaviour does not cease and desist
immediately. I hope this will convince
the above-noted family rights organizations that I am no longer prepared to
turn the other cheek, and will no longer abide any aspersions to my
reputation. With all due respect to the
collective organizations here, Parents Helping Parents has every right to be
very proud of the work and the reputation we have developed over nearly a
decade of dedication to gender equality issues in family law. I trust that no one will take my effort to be
patient with Ferrel Christensen as a sign of weakness, for the day is over when
I accept his behavior without responding to it.
PHP will be
taking a moratorium on our activities for at least a month, to reflect on this
disturbing situation and come to a decision regarding our next course of
action. Should I receive any additional
feedback indicating that Ferrel Christensen is continuing with his adolescent
activities, I will not hesitate to respond in kind and with the full force of
my own research on his own dubious history.
We will see whose reputation withstands that kind of scrutiny.
