Daniel and reality: Difference between revisions

To say the least, Daniel's childhood was troubled. Daniel was brought up in an unstable household, and before he was even a teenager, [[Travis Larson|his father]] had disowned him and left [[Elisabeth Shimer|his disabled mother]]. This eventually led him to be taken out of his home by the state of Colorado due to alleged neglect he faced at the hands of his mother. This placed him in the care of his grandmother, [[Nancy Shimer]], as well as the [[Tennyson Center|Tennyson Center for Children]] for a brief time.  

In reference to reality, Daniel's grandmother was a known [[Enablers|enabler]] of Daniel's bad behavior. It has been alleged by both Daniel's mother and father that when Daniel would act up (or have violent episodes), Nancy would seldom put down binding consequences. She would instead give Daniel what he wanted or let him get away with disobedient actions to appease him and/or get him to calm down.
