Elisabeth Shimer: Difference between revisions

Elisabeth would move to [[Colorado Springs|Colorado]] in 2009<ref>https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100000130337751%2Fposts%2F348916081789400%2F</ref>, when Daniel was 11. According to Youtube comments, her reasoning for moving to Colorado was due to the mental and physical health support, which both her and Daniel would need (Elisabeth more so, as at this time, she was in a wheelchair). Though, not long after, she would have no custody over him, as [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] would begin living in the [[Tennyson Center]]. While the reason stated for Daniel being taken away was due to neglect and abuse, it is unconfirmed as to what Elisabeth (or Travis) did to him. [[File:Elisabeth's Tweets.png|thumb|387x387px|Elisabeth's tweets about her "music career"]]Daniel has stated that his mother “couldn’t take care of him anymore,”{{Citation Needed}} and given the fact that at this time Elisabeth was disabled and in a wheelchair, it is very likely that her disability impacted her ability and to care for him, resulting in neglect. Even so, it is hard to tell what is true about Elisabeth and what is not, due to Daniel constantly going back and forth on whether he was abused or not. This seems likely, though, as in 2010, Travis and Elisabeth had parted ways. According to one of Elisabeths facbeook posts, this occured after Travis told Elisabeth to stay away from Daniel, as he'd "never get better". With this absence, it most likely added an extra factor of difficulty to parenting Daniel.   

Something that is interesting to note about Elisabeth is her affinity for singing, which most likely influenced Daniel to pursue a career in singing. On her YouTube account, she would upload several videos of her singing, the most infamous being tributes to various people, namely Daniel. One of these videos was directed towards Daniel, where [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/Wd4lJI8KWas she sang "I Won't Give Up", which was posted on the 28th of September, 2014.]  

Elisabeth's relationship with Daniel can be best described as shattered. Daniel has claimed that Elisabeth was abusive to him during his childhood, though the exact nature of this abuse is unknown, as one time he said that she and Travis beat him with belts for "15 years", and at another time, saying that she had never abused him at all. However, in Facebook posts made in the early 2010's, Elisabeth would wax poetic about how much she loved Daniel. Even after Travis left her in 2010, Elisabeth still made an effort to try and get her back into her life, but eventually gave up on Daniel herself.  

This would not serve her in the long run, as In June 2022, Elisabeth would soon came out about Daniel beating both her and his grandmother for "ten straight years", painting ''him'' as the abuser. This got to a point where Daniel was even arrested, [[11/6/17 Arrest|having to serve 44-45 in prison for 3rd degree assault]] against his mother.  

In the comments, Elisabeth would go into further detail on a number of topics relating to Daniel, including Daniel's various disabilities that were beyond autism (such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), his history of physical violence against both her and [[Nancy Shimer]], the interpersonal relationship between the three of them, and how Daniel even went to jail because of this physical violence.<ref>[[:File:ElisabethShimerPapaGut(1).png]]</ref>
