"9.5.2024

Somehow a 5-9 year old girl is responsible for being dumped for her entire life by her father. 

Dana"

 

This was achieved by Corinne's mother with the help of her daughter Dana.

Dana cut off all contact with her father when her father divorced her mother. The (male) judge said "You are both good parents", and Corinne should have half her time with mother and half with her father. Freda heard him say this.

This led to the idea of "contact", It was well known that a mother denied "contact" with impunity. No court would ever enforce an order for contact, as Dana, a lawyer, will surely know.

Then in came the charge of child sexual abuse, which Corinne once said she knew about, but did nothing about.

A male social worker came from Brighton to St. Albans to discuss the charges. The St. Albans Quakers sent a representative to discuss the charges with me. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/nick.pdf

You, Dana, helped your mother to cut off your very young sister Corinne from her father, a terrible thing to do. In a careless moment you sent me a card from eastern Europe saying you were travelling in eastern Europe with your young sister Corinne.

It is obvious that the moment you gained control of your very young sister Corinne, you should have brought her to her father. Why did you not? Did you believe the charges by Nick?

I’ve already said, Ivor, many, times, that nothing bad happened to me. Beyond that, I simply don’t know. I don’t know what happened between other people. I only know of my own experience. 

 

You said in another email that you’d ‘written me off’. I’m different from you in that way: I’ve never written anyone off and I won’t, and I won’t write you off. It’s not how I deal with people. This includes my two little little children. No matter what they do in their lives, I will never, ever write them off.

 

Having said that, I don’t want to ever receive any more emails like this from you, Ivor. That means; dragging over the problems from the past, anything about the family courts, things that ‘need to be said’. I’m not saying you can’t talk about it, but please leave me out, if you choose to do so. I’m ‘opting out’ of this type of email. I’m happy to receive other kinds of emails from you. Always have been.

 

I remember the kind things you did when I was little, there were lots of happy times. I won’t forget them. Climbing mountains, visiting the London museums. You taught me how to swim. You always told me when you found a hedgehog in the garden, and made sure I got to see it, even if it was past bedtime. I remember all of it, and, as a parent, I try to be like you were in those ways; bringing adventure and magic. I was lucky. Nothing bad happened to me, lots of good things happened, too. Thank you for all of those things.

See below the Blustering by Dana

Dana helped her mother whom I had to divorce. Freda had her husband and her son Malcolm ousted from the family home with perjured charges of domestic violence and worse. http://ivorcatt.co.uk/nick.pdf . Dana cut off all contact with her father and her brother, who was traumatised.

Dana helped her mother to permanently cut her 14 years younger sister Corinne off from her father and her brother Malcolm, who had been as a father to his 21 years younger sister.

 

It never occurred to me that a liar is likely to charge others with lying.

 

Ivor - all dim nonsense on your part, I’m afraid. To explain;-

Dear all,

 

Freda was an extremely intelligent and wonderful lady. More intelligent than you are. She could not have been a better mother, wife, friend or companion. Or as John Dore described her …”I think the of her as a “lady above the rest, a lady of great quality”. She was never coercive and did all she could to support you and your career in every possible way, including proof reading your books and even adding all the Alice in Wonderland quotes at the beginning of the chapters of ‘The Catt Concept’.

She was extremely clever, friendly, fun, kind and cheerful.

It was a great tribute to her that after her untimely death in 2006 she required three funerals/memorials , as there were simply too many people to invite in order to fit in any venue, Church, Quaker Meeting House or Village Hall.

Her friends were lifelong;- From her earliest school days, to fellow students of Law at Kings College London University and from her Law Lecturing at London University, St.Albans FE and as head of educational guidance for adults  at Hertfordshire University, from her MA course at Sussex University to her later years as a Governor of a Quaker School, her role as Elder at Lewes Quaker Meeting and her active role at the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Synod on Spirituality amongst the Christian Faiths of England, in the U3A and with her English Literature and Art courses and Playreading  and as a devoted grandmother to her two grandsons. 

 

In marked contrast to my mother you have to do what you can in a limited amount of time to make amends for your appalling treatment of your wife and four children. I also believe you have treated friends such as Eugen, Jenny Harbridge, John Dore and Archie Howie ( to name but a few!) in a disgraceful manner.

Do not waste this time.

 

This week I have copied your own letter stating clearly that you wished to remove me from the UK state system of education. It was your choice. For the last 17 years you have constantly lied saying that Freda had demanded this and that you would never have left the state system. You lied in saying that the cost of our education had almost bankrupted you. Corinne received a full 100% scholarship to Christ’s Hospital. This even included uniform, boarding fees and book allowances. Malcolm and Graham received full 100% scholarships to their respective schools also. 

We can say that you constantly lie, or that you are an old man and constantly get your facts wrong. The choice of definition is up to you. 

You manner is coercive, cruel and rude. Your emails have an unpleasant and bullying tone.

You have time to change your ways. To apologise for your behaviour to all of us.

It is not too late.

On the subject of coercive behaviour you repeatedly demanded that my mother must sign over ownership of the house to a group of venture capitalists which would have left us all homeless had the venture gone wrong. You bullied her and made her life hell. She was brave and true and held out. That is why we had a home to live in.

 

Please go to church or quaker meeting or counselling or confession and make your place good before us or your God while there is still time.

We will all have a chance to forgive you.

 

Best wishes,

Dana

Dear Dana,

Does   https://www.lawteacher.net/cases/barclays-bank-v-obrien.php have a bearing on what happened in our family?

I need your comment on  http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/ivall4.htm and http://ivorcatt.uk/rh25cbl.htm

Otherwise I will remain silent. The problem is you once said I lied. Admittedly this was only once, but I cannot let that slur rest.

See my websites start with;

Riposte; I make the commitment that anyone wishing to counter any assertion made on my websites will be guaranteed a hyperlink to a website of their choosing at the point where the disputed assertion is made. Vodafone

No one except my eldest daughter has been allowed to get away with such attacks (which actually have not occurred except that from her). My career is highly controversial, and the fact that Ivor Catt always tells the truth (even as a lapsed Quaker) is historically important. I do not exclude when lying will save lives - when the roundhead comes to the door and asks if you are hiding a cavalier. Or when memory struggles over events I recount which happened more than a half century ago and I was traumatised by the events - my wife sabotaging my then threatening to be spectacular career. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x5cz2.htm

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toys_in_the_Attic_(play)  " .... an unexplained large sum of money, Carrie and Anna suddenly find that the position of power they have always held has become unbalanced, leaving their lives in chaos." Freda was Carrie or Anna.

Freda was losing control of the family, and would destroy the family rather than lose control of it.  Her destruction was very effective.

It included getting a secret court to evict her eldest son on a (presumably false) charge of domestic violence. This traumatised him.

Freda had 20 people who described themselves as her best friend. They were lame ducks, and not being a lame duck, I was not a proper associate of Freda. Apparently they assembled in a "Memorial Service" for Freda. Extraordinary.

Think about it. There are a whole sweep of cases in which husbands coerce their wives into agreeing to give venture capitalists a lien over the family property. If the wife refuses the husbands becoming toxic and aggressive.

In each of the bank cases the wives were forced into agreeing to sign over their interest in the property.

In each case the husband’s business failed.

All law students are taught that the number one financial duty of a mother is to ensure that there is a house over the heads of the children.

Pathetic nonsense Ivor.

You were very very dominant and often extremely cruel.

I remember with sadness when we were young and all sitting around the dining table. You threw my mother’s payslip across the table at her and said “This is the pittance that you bring in”.

You humiliated my mother constantly. You also were exceptionally cruel to my eldest brother, Malcolm.

After he had braces fitted on his teeth he found it hard to eat. You made him sit on the floor to eat his meals saying “If you eat like an animal then you have to eat off the ground like an animal”.

You were extraordinarily unkind. 

My mother tried so hard, all I can imagine is that you were jealous of her and her ability. She was never sacked from any job. You were sacked from all your posts as far as I can recall.

You somehow felt you were in competition with her instead of allies.

Please try to see the error of your ways. It is not too late. Please pray or seek counselling.

I am grateful that you helped to feed and clothe me until I was 17. I am grateful that you encouraged my sport and paid my school fees jointly with my mother when Herts county council voted to end the assisted place scheme. This meant that although I came top on one of the four entrance exam papers out of 1200 candidates and scored very highly in the other three papers, no scholarships were available. You have never let me forget this and have constantly moaned all my life that we all “tried to bankrupt you”.

All your other three children were entirely free for their secondary school education, that is from the age of eleven onwards. 

People are generally kind and forgiving.

Please seek forgiveness whilst there is time.

Please apologise for your constant and disgraceful attacks on my mother.

Riposte; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/dana989.htm

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A few months before, Katsman had got excited about Spiral, and talked about getting a consortium together to finance and develop it. He was the London representative of a major New York firm of lawyers with interest in hi-tec investment. However, my wife Freda had scuppered that negotiation by trying to take control. Her technique was to tell K that I had mental problems and so he should negotiate with her. Foolishly, K responded with enthusiasm to this development, presumably feeling that with the inventor and his wife divided, he could control the project and clean up. Both Freda and K should have realised that with the inventor himself discredited, the project had no future.
I would have dearly loved to be in a position to bid up K against Sinclair, and so create a market for my Spiral patents. However, this was scuppered by the enemy within, Freda. So I faced Sinclair from a position of weakness. However, I would do my best. Riposte; 
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/dana989.htm
Even before the K debacle, I had recognised the enemy within who first showed her colours clearly over the Heaviside biography. My career path was built around the discoveries in electromagnetism by an extraordinary engineer Oliver Heaviside. He had worked on his own for some decades a century ago, and his brilliant work had then been forgotten until I

stumbled on it. My career development required that Heaviside be revived. The discovery of an unpublished biography written in 1950 by his best friend Searle would be a major element in the resuscitation of Heaviside. I had completed editing this biography with Freda's help some years ago, but then she had blocked its publication giving specious reasons. This was the first clear evidence that she was attacking my career, which had begun to nourish her envy.

Pathetic nonsense Ivor.

I was 14 when Corinne was born and left home in June 1984 when I was still seventeen. I never returned to live with either of my parents after that date. I have supported myself entirely financially from that date onwards for the rest of my life and whilst I have not had much money and most of our accommodation has been rented, I am proud that I have never succumbed to bullying by you or anyone else.

 

The only money I received from you after I left school was the one year in which you were forced by the government to pay a parental  contribution towards my University fees.

 

You bullied me and threatened that you would not pay this contribution unless I did what you told me to do. I refused.

I was forced to go onto campus at the start of my second year at University not knowing if I would have to give up my course.

This was shocking bullying.

 

I was never involved with your nonsense.

I cannot be blamed for your nonsense and nor can Corinne.

You treated us all disgracefully and with great cruelty.

You have no excuse.

 

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

On another occasion Dana (verbally) said she should thank me for paying for her education at the private “Haberdasher’s Girls’ School”.

I was only an engineer, so I could not pay for the schooling of all my three (later four) children. However, our two first children won free places in two of the then (among the) top (for academic results) 20 private schools, Haberdashers’ and St. Albans. My wife argued that we should pay for our third child, Dana, to go to a top private school, so we did. (Engineers could not afford to pay for any of their children to go to public (i.e. private) schools. In my second book “Computer Worship” I discuss the class origins of engineers.)

Pathetic codswallop as usual.

I left home at seventeen and did not live with either of my parents ever again after that date.

I had zero to do with your divorce.

You cut off from your children, all four of us.

I wrote to you several times a year begging you to at least send a card to Corinne. You did not phone her, see her or write to her from the age of nine onwards. Despicable cruelty.

Your behaviour to all four of us was disgraceful.

It is not too late to apologise.
