I agree. Women are almost NEVER held to account for what happens in the marriage. The courts almost always side with the woman. They take away his entire life's work and possessions because SHE wants out. If she wants out, go but without destroying who has provided for you all these years.

I think it’s so difficult to spot the warning signs of domestic abuse when it’s psychological rather than physical and so, many women think like Nancy; “is it all in my head?” Thankfully Nancy was able to see the truth & managed to survive this monster! Hope he is getting what he deserves each day in prison & Nancy is living a grand life!

From one survivor to another: Don't know if this will help you, but it's one of my tools: i remind me of the parts where i kept or took back control from them, and where, when i couldn't fight _physically,_ i fought back _mentally._ Things like: Nancy won because Richard thought she was more cowed than she was & so two things _never_ occurred to him: *[1]* that an eye-bolt that can be screwed _into_ a wall can be _unscrewed_ *out* of it, and [2] that Nancy was a *_person,_* she was *not* an *_object_* without any volition & he was not powerful enough to make her _stay_ where he _put_ her just because he put he there.

So much moxie! I’m glad she survived to be with her children.

She most likely wouldn't have survived if he hadn't left her alone. I wonder why he went upstairs. Good thing she was plotting an escape and that it worked. What a relief that this didn't end in murder. She and her children are so well spoken. Hopefully, they all received proper therapy in order to deal with this extremely traumatic situation. What a very unhinged man Richard is. He can't be trusted to live in society and is exactly where he belongs.

My ex tried to kill me when I left him, he had me in the apartment at knife point and like Nancy I was telling him what he wanted to hear, he would calm down then get all crazy again. We were sitting on the bed (I was beat up by then)When he tried to stab me on my leg I jump up pure instinct, I stayed standing trying to figure out how to run. He tried stabbing me in my stomach I moved and the knife got stuck in the wall heater, I took of running and I know God unlocked the doors for me because all I remember is me in my front lawn running away to his aunt and uncle house cause it was close by, they didn't want to call the cops. He showed up there and I hid in yhe closet with the kids, his uncle told him yo leave and I run to my aunt's house and called the cops. None of my neighbors called the cops or came out to help me when he was beating me up 😢 He was 6'2 and 250lbs I was 5'4 and 99lbs, I was no match for him.

That is insanity!

If you're in a relationship where domestic violence is a common occurrence take all your valuables & run but don't tell your partner/spouse the who, what, when, where, why you're going to run. In fact, leave out the "I'm gonna leave you" & "I'm taking the kids too" parts out totally when you're arguing with them. Never let them know what your next steps or your plans are. Run when they least expect it & don't look back. If it's come to this point, it's not love anyway it's only a bad habit.

So he burned down her house twice? The first time should have been a long prison sentence. He shouldn't have been allowed bond.

To live in a constant fear must be so hard for Nancy and her children. She's just so brave. I salute her.

He is high pitched crazy ...

Yes, "ACTING" crazy. 🙄 Look at his lawyer when he says the divorce was the first shot- that is the face of a defeated man.

It's incredibly difficult to comprehend the mindset of someone who would resort to such extreme and abusive behavior. Threatening someone's life, especially in a situation where emotions are heightened, is absolutely unacceptable and deeply disturbing. It's important to prioritize your own safety and well-being, and no one deserves to be subjected to such treatment. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel threatened or unsafe, please reach out to trusted friends, family, or authorities for support and assistance. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.

What did society do to this man for him to snap like this??

he was... allowed to post bail. after.. commiting. Arson. Buring private/public property. BAIL. WHAT?

I am so pissed off he literally burned down her house and left threatening messages and they still let him buy himself out of jail. Its fucked. Her death would have been 100 percent possible and the trauma of that day would have 100 percent never happened if the detectives took his bullshit seriously. He stalked her, violated the protective order, and yet he was allowed to fuck around. Hope things have changed...

There are spirits, guardian angels, ancestors & higher powers working at the most uncanny times. Maybe it’s God for some, but a higher power, nonetheless.

That’s the only word for all that, miraculous.
