It does not change the fact that you Terry were the reason Darryl took his own life. Why did he attend the meeting with Gary in the first place
-you alienated him from his daughter and refused regular access to a father who was regularly involved in his daughter's life.
-Darryl had to prepay his lawyers fees in full as he knew you were so crazy and would never be able to be reasonable and fair in the separation and divorce process.
-the 24 hours before he took his own life
-During the counselling session you said that you were afraid for your safety and could only meet during the day as you were afraid of Darryl
-you disclosed during that session that your parents car and property had been vandalized and suggested it was Darryl
-You, Terry made a false allegation to Children's Aid about pick ups at Tim Hortons and on the evening of May 11, 2019 Darryl was interviewed for three hours by Children's Aid as you wanted drop offs at a police station. After him showing hours of video of you and your family and pick up and drop offs the Children's Aid said you were the monster.
-On the evening of May 11, 2019 Darryl was up all night preparing to see his accountant as you Terry made a false allegation to CRA stating that he was evading paying taxes. His accountant said "Who hates you this much - his response -Terry"
-on May 12, 2019 Darryl was contacted by the police about the alleged vandalism on your parents property

While I do know from what Darryl shared that Gary Direnfeld did not conduct himself ethically, please do not shift blame on something that you are responsible for...Darryl is no longer with us as you drove him to take his life. You need to live with that.

As the complainant in this case I cannot be happier that this day has finally come after a long four year wait. The words "dishonorable and disgraceful" are an understatement to what my deceased husband and I experienced on May 11th, 2015, in Gary Direnfeld's home. I only hope the discipline issued by the College is in fact appropriate and representative of his offences.

Hey Terry yes it has been a long long journey. There were many registered complaints that had to be gone through- the college will post the discipline details on Friday.
