Winter was so very cold this year, especially the home of Nancy and Bob. But life was as lovely as summer time for the rest of the neighbors this day. Bob and Nancy seemed to be living the good life, but in her heart she knew he'd never change. Her best friend Melissa tried convincing her that he was still that same loser as usual. Nancy always ignored anyone who talked bad about Bob. As long as she had a man and the drugs he gave her daily, she could care less what anybody said. As of this particular day, Nancy finally grew tired of trying to quit drugs and leave Bob. These were the two things that she was truly addicted to. Her neighbors, Alicia and Barry, also felt that she  deserved better and should move on. Their friendship ended due to Bob and his deceitful ways. Barry was tired of listening to them arguing every day and night, so he threatened to punch Bobs lights out. Nancy protected him as usual, which angered Alicia also. Nancy and Alicia were friends and neighbors before Bob was around. Nancy screamed many times for Alicia and Barry's assistance, when Bob would beat her up. Her excuse to them for staying with him was always said," It's not easy for me to be alone and I tried very hard to, but never succeeded". It seemed that she was a magnet for disrespectful and obnoxious kinds of men. As if she was hard up and desperate or something...or ugly. On top of everything else, she has a loser ex boyfriend and ex husband who still linger around her home. Which also contributes to the abuse from her new relationship.


She has yelled and screamed at the top of her lungs, constantly disturbing her neighbors late night hours, along with drug traffickers every single day. Bob is a low budget drug dealer, pedophile, who takes her car and doesn't return it for days at a time. She tells everyone her business about how He steals her credit cards, her money, sleeps with her friends, and never buys food or pays bills. He has caused her to have no friends and her family won't come around anymore. They know what he's doing to her,  but won't help because she cries wolf constantly. Now she is left alone with these demons and thinking  suicidal thoughts. She has a young daughter April, who is in her father's custody due to Nancy's drug issues. When April visits her mom , Bob is continuously hanging around her and her friends. Many of the neighbors often wonder if he is trying to sleep with her or a friend of hers. There were many rumors that he slept with women and their daughter's. Some folks say that he even video taped women having sex with him and their daughter's.


 Poor Nancy has fallen victim to the evil demons lurking in this world. There is absolutely no love in this relationship and no woman should accept this abuse. If a woman is that afraid to seek help, then maybe someone might step up and help. For Nancy, she needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Maybe she needs to seek prayer and guidance from our heavenly father. Many of her family and friends have tried to help but she has to help herself. If she is really afraid to get rid of this dude, then she needs to go to law enforcer's. On one occasion, she told her neighbors she ordered a restraining order on this guy. A day or two went by and he was there at her home again. It is truly a shame to be mentally and physically abused. Lots of women will pretend like everything is peachy, but in reality they are definitely unhappy campers.
