Anchorage, AK, October 28, 2026 —
A person in Anchorage has asked advice columnist Eric whether to disclose deeply troubling family secrets to the relatives involved. The secrets include a past sexual assault, an unknown sibling and the molestation of a deceased brother’s daughter by another brother, according to the account provided.
The person is considering whether to tell family members about the abuse and the sibling. The perpetrator’s wife is described as unaware of what happened. The account does not specify which family members the person may tell first, how the unknown sibling relates to the family, or when the events took place.
The question centers on whether the information should be shared, but the available summary does not include Eric’s response or indicate that the person has made a decision. It also does not identify the advice column’s publication, provide the names or ages of those involved, or give further details about the assault or molestation. Those details are not available in the account and cannot be established from it.
The circumstances described involve serious allegations within a family and a person weighing disclosure to relatives, including a spouse who is said to be unaware. No additional account from the relatives is provided, and no further context is available about the family’s circumstances. The report therefore remains limited to the advice-seeker’s question and the brief description of the secrets at issue; it does not establish what happened after the question was submitted.
