Elisabeth Lee Avey (née Shimer) is the ex-lover of Travis Larson, adoptive daughter of Nancy Shimer the mother of Daniel Larson, as well as his late siblings, Joyetta and Olivia Larson.

Though Daniel's father has remained a rather unpopular figure in the Daniel Larson community, the same cannot be said for Elisabeth, who has remained consistently disliked, even by Daniel. However, this should be taken with a grain of salt, as Daniel's definitive opinion on her is not clear, main due to his delusions and other factors in his life. Elisabeth is a very unknown character in the Daniel Larson story, and it is impossible to know if anything she or Daniel says is true.

Elisabeth has been accused of being neglectful and abusive, which is questionably true, although somewhat substantiated due to the fact that Daniel was relocated and sent to the Tennyson Center during his childhood. Despite this fact, Elisabeth has, in turn, accused him and remained adamant that Daniel was the abusive one, hitting her and his grandmother, Nancy Shimer. Despite these constant accusations of abuse, Elisabeth’s behaviors seem to have rubbed off onto Daniel during his childhood, as much like her son, she too has an interest in music.

There are also extremely tenuous claims that Elisabeth had possibly sexuality assaulted Daniel when he was a young child, which may have kicked off his pedophilia, if ever found to be true This claim comes from question Daniel asked on his Quora page "Has your mother ever given you a hand job as a kid?" as well as a testimony from a person claiming to be a caretaker of Daniel's, claiming he has "history of child sexual abuse (to him and by him)." Although it’s called into question as to what this means.

Nonetheless, after Nancy's death, Elisabeth wished to keep absolutely no contact with Daniel, presumably having put a restraining order on him along with Travis. This is most likely due to the physical assault she had endured, although the claim of this restraining order on him has yet to be confirmed.

Biography

Not much is known about Elisabeth's early life, but what information can be found will be pieced together to form a somewhat consistent timeline of events.

Elisabeth is the adoptive daughter of Nancy Shimer, who had presumably adopted her through connections from her job as a social worker. Elisabeth was adopted prior to Nancy's divorce, although her relationship with Nancy's husband and biological children is unknown.

While unconfirmed, Elisabeth most likely suffers from the same mental disabilities Daniel has, or is at least somewhat mentally challenged. These claims mostly come from her appearance, which is generally not seen in able-bodied individuals. This is very much possible, as disabilities such as autism have very high heritability rates. However, until further information comes out, it will remain unknown what exactly she suffers from.

In 1990, Elisabeth enrolled in YPIA (Young Peoples Institute of Arts and Academics), where she graduated from in 1993. From 1995 to 2004, Elisabeth enrolled in Antelope Valley College, graduating in Music and Performing Arts.

Not long after enrolling in AVC, Elisabeth would meet Travis Larson, who, not long after, would help conceive Daniel with, to which she'd give birth to him on November 15th, 1998.

Later on, on March 27th, 2001, Elisabeth would conceive children with Travis once more, this time being twins. She'd soon give birth to Daniels siblings, being the twin girls, Joyetta and Olivia Larson, though the twins passed away the following day from RH incompatibility.

Elisabeth would move to Colorado in 2009, when Daniel was 11. Though, not long after, she would have no custody over him, as 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 and Travis did to him.

Elisabeth's tweets about her "music career"

Daniel has stated that his mother “couldn’t take care of him anymore,” 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.

With her new husband, who she'd get engaged to on January 1st, 2011, she would co-own their business, Avey Incubator Inc in 2010, which sold animal incubators.

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. One of these videos was directed towards Daniel, where she sang "I Won't Give Up", which was posted on the 28th of September, 2014.

On Elisabeth's Twitter account, she would frequently post about going to a music studio to work on her original songs, although these claims of having a music "career" and having "fans" are obviously untrue.

Sometime after Daniel was adopted by Nancy, Elisabeth was soon given access to see him once more, though the exact date is unknown. She had also made a tribute video to Joyetta and Olivia, wherein she sang "Angels", sharing various pictures of them after birth. Elisabeth shows an intense love for both of these children, although by the time the video had been posted, it had been well over a decade after their births, presumably showing more love for them than Daniel.

Later life, and poor health

Since Elisabeth was roughly 20 years old, she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of lupus, an incurable genetic autoimmune disease found predominantly in women, which caused her multiple health related issues.

As of March 10th, 2010, Elisabeth has been put on chemotherapy and immunosuppressants, as well as having a multiple sclerosis scare, which turned out to be her lupus acting up. In 2015, she went into partial assisted living, where her^{[See discussion page, do not cite]} health would continue to deteriorate further which is evidenced by her posting on Facebook about her being in and out of the hospital on a daily basis.

On February 8th, 2016, Elisabeth posted on Facebook that she is paralyzed from the breastbone down, causing her to be in a wheelchair permanently. This should be remembered, as her being in a wheelchair would not prove to be positive within the coming years.

Relationships

Like many other aspects about them, not much about their relationship with each other is known. But, according to Facebook posts, their relationship deteriorated around 2010, coming to a screeching halt after Travis called Daniel a lost cause, insisting he would never get better.

After this, Elisabeth insisted that she did not need a man in her life, claiming Travis to be "..obsessed with sex" and not caring for others feelings. These posts kicked off a constant theme of not needing a man in her life. However, this did not last very long, following her engagement on January 1st, 2011.

After their breakup, Travis left her for another woman not long after Daniel was taken away. Following their breakup, Travis had at least one daughter with his new partner, named Aurora Larson.

Daniel

Elisabeths relationship with Daniel can be best described as shattered. Elisabeth was known to be abusive and neglectful towards Daniel throughout most, if not the entirety of his childhood, resulting in the myriad of mental health issues Daniel has today.

The exact nature of this abuse is unknown, as she soon came out about Daniel abusing her she has shifted the blame on to Daniel, painting him as the abuser. She wrote comments on Facebook in the early 2010's about how he loved Daniel, yet when looking at her latest Youtube comments, there is clearly not much love there.

Elisabeth on Daniel

Elisabeth commenting on Papa Gut's video.

In June 2022, Elisabeth would leave multiple comments on two videos by YouTuber/TikTokker Papa Gut, detailing her experiance with Daniel while he was living with both her and his grandmother, although these comments would not become known to the Daniel Larson community until 3 months later, until they were shared on the R/Daniellarson.

In the comments, Elisabeth would go into further detail on a number of topics relating to Daniel, including Daniel's various disabilities (beyond autism, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), his history of physical violence against both her and Nancy Shimer, the interpersonal relationship between the three of them. What is interesting to note is that Elisabeth speaks of Daniel going to jail following him physically assaulting both her and his grandmother.

However, it should be noted at this point that the relationship between Daniel and his mother is very strained. It is therefore questionable whether one can believe her comments.

“ I'm Danny's mom and yes we have moved here for the services. He doesn't just have autism he has severe bi polar and shizophrenic. He has beaten me and my mom... he has lied and has fantasies about so many things. He does not want to listen to authority...he is not famous but wants to beleive he is.he does what he wants and if you dont let him he gets violent..if you want more information contact me ”

Elisabeth elaborating on her relationship with Nancy.

Following this comment, Elisabeth made her third, and last comment on Papa Guts video, where she elaborated on her relationship with her mother, Nancy Shimer, where she claimed that Nancy had not liked her moving away, which resulted in Nancy spreading lies about Elisabeth. Additionally, Elisabeth reaffirms the claims about Daniel's mental health issues.

“ This was all a lie ...she just didn't like me moving away so she spread lies. And yes she did pass away in 2018.I love my son but he does have many mental issues and can be very violent at times ...he beat me and my mother before she died and had beaten her for 10 years straight...after she got custody of him...yes he should have stayed there. My mom let him get away with everything and gave him everything that's why he is the way he is... I wouldn't put up with his behavior ”

Although it is uncertain if Elisabeth can be trusted as a reliable narrator due to her tumultuous history with Daniel, the YouTube account which posted the comments has been verified as belonging to her.

Other Social Media Accounts

While there are various social media accounts that can be verifiably identified as Elisabeth, there are also several TikTok and social media accounts with her name, but none of them have been verified, as most are run by people using her photos to impersonate her. Most of them re-upload videos from her YouTube channel to try and add validity, but some have caught the communities attention by leaving comments on Daniel's videos. But what is important to note is that none of these accounts are real, as most of them have been created very recently and have no information to prove that they are the real, authentic Elisabeth.

When seeing an account claiming to be Elisabeth or any of Daniel's other family members, take it with a grain of salt, as it is mostly likely run by trolls or impersonators.
