Dear Abby: Information Requested for Estate Planning Might Have Been Fraud

The mother disputed her son Aaron's abuse claim, leading to estrangement; Aaron is now an adult and his siblings support his accusation against their uncle Joe.

  • A 51-year-old mother and grandmother says her adult children and grandchildren have blocked her after family disputes, leaving her excluded from their lives.
  • When Aaron was 10 his mother says Aaron was sexually assaulted by his friend Eli, who was 13, prompting her to forbid Eli from visiting as both boys were underage.
  • Months later Aaron told his mother the abuser was his uncle Joe, a claim she disputes and told him to stop lying; Aaron is now an adult whose siblings believe him and who remains friends with Eli, while Joe says he knows nothing.
  • The mother asks how to get back into her children's and grandkids' lives, while Dear Abby advised healing requires agreement on what happened when Aaron was 10, including if his accusation is true or a blame to see Eli.
  • In the syndicated Dear Abby column Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, raised questions about whether the boys might have been experimenting, adding uncertainty to the case with contact details at www.DearAbby.com and P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
