She lives with her two sons and brother-in-law.

Her youngest boy is the eccentric, braniac tween Shane (Alexander Gould); the eldest is sardonic, hormonal teen Silas (Hunter Parrish). At the end of season 2, the jig was up: Both knew about Mom's job. And by the end of season 3, Nancy had proven a parent of increasingly dubious skills, with a neglected Shane claiming to see Dad's ghost and Silas becoming a dealer himself. As for her flaky but warm-hearted brother-in-law, Andy (Justin Kirk)? He just dropped in one day, and never left.
