It has been four days since I responded to Alison Gelfand's email, offering an end to dispute and help for my daughter, Grace.

There has been no reply from her.

It saddens me to think that the other members of the family in New York are supporting a woman with no love in her heart.
Where is your voice, Toby Gelfand, of Merrick, New York ?
Or yours, Nikki Gelfand, of Merrick, New York ?

Where, too, the voice of Lou Gelfand ?

You are NOT caring for my daughter by sending her away to Boarding School.
Can you not deal with a young teenager, whose problems are ones you have heaped upon her by your actions.
We call it Child Abuse in the UK.

Are you all to busy helping daddy build his vet practice in New York ?
All Creatures.
An apt name for the family, methinks.

May God grant you ALL you deserve.

Dear Siabreen,

Im writing this as I had no opportunity to express myself before you left.

For over 8 years, we were a loving, powerful partnership.
With you, I experienced true emotion, for the first time in my life.

It was you that helped me come back to myself and, for that, I will be eternally grateful.
We produced Grace, a miraculous event and a miraculous child.
You and I together.
Thank You.

Our relationship was many thing, but never dull.

Towards the end it became too painful to be around you.
The final straw was when you broke your oath to Zelda West Meeds, our Relate Counsellor.

But the end of our relationship need not have meant the end of us as a family.
We could have survived as people and parents, even though apart.
You must have known that.

I wonder if you knew how much your keeping me from Grace hurt(s).
Even now, I doubt if causing me pain was your goal, so what the hell was it ?
(There will be no answer now.)

Thank You for being in my life.
Thank You for allowing me into yours.

I FORGIVE you completely and you are FREE.

Love and Light be with you wherever you are.

I have just been thinking about my day.
And what a day it has been.

A friend of ours turned up early at work, this morning.
He did nothing but snipe behind peoples backs and was insulting in front of customers.
Awful.

I neither pointed out his behaviour nor did I challenge him.
I WILL if it happens again.

In the afternoon, a friend appeared.
A friend I bid farewell to as she left for India, the night before !!!
So happy I was she had not gone.

Then later, in the evening, my flatmate started screaming at me.
Nothing strange in that.
I do encourage people to express themselves.

What was not nice was the atmosphere changed in the room seconds before he raged.
The light became visibly darker.

I have told him I dont want to talk to him till tomorrow.
I have supported him through many things this last 15 months.
I dont think I want to anymore.

Professor Adam Fairclough, author of several books on the Civil Rights movement in America, has been accused of lying to the Children Courts and Immigration officials in the UK and USA.

The Professor has not denied the allegations, citing possible mental health issues at the time.

The UEA, Norwich, say they are looking into the claims and will comment further soon.

I am still awake worrying about my eldest daughter, Leona.

She is overdue giving birth to her son.
The midwife gave her a 'sweep' last night, in the hope of moving things along.
She told me she is scared and asked for Angels to be with her.

I ask for them, too.

Hopefully, she will be asleep now, resting.
(I am remembering Leona's birth now and my own fear for my x wife.)
Such an amazing, scary, wonderful, exhausting experience having a child.

Be not afraid, my daughter.
Trust the process and relax.

My thought is my Grandson will be born today - yahoo.
