Once, Rex tried to run down a pregnant Rose Mary with his car in the desert after they\u2019d argued about how far along she was. There was the time Rose Mary and Rex argued about money and whose responsibility it was to support the family. The fight was so loud, it brought out the entire neighborhood and ended with Rose Mary dangling from an upstairs window after she tried to jump out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There were also times when the fights were started by Rex after stumbling home drunk.<\/strong> He\u2019d scream at the kids and destroy the house, and often, he became violent and threatening to Rose Mary. For example, after the family had moved to a house in Phoenix that Rose Mary had inherited, Rex broke all of the family heirlooms and threw Rose Mary on the ground. They each grabbed a knife, but within minutes, they were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-laughing\/\">laughing<\/a> and back in love.&nbsp;Rex and Rose Mary Walls may have loved each other, but their relationship made life difficult for their children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas in Phoenix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Walls typically celebrated Christmas after the holiday to take advantage of discarded decorations and presents. But on their first Christmas in Phoenix, Rose Mary decided they would celebrate on the actual day instead of a week after, as was their custom. She took the children to the thrift-store, giving them each a dollar for presents. They bought an almost-dead tree and decorated it with Grandma Smith\u2019s antique ornaments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rex cracked his first beer Christmas morning and didn\u2019t stop. By the time they were ready for midnight mass, he was fall-down drunk. Rex disrupted the sermon, calling the Virgin Mary a sweet Jewish girl who got pregnant. He said Jesus was the world\u2019s most popular bastard. They were quickly escorted out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, Rex was still belligerent. He opened a gift from Rose Mary: an antique lighter. Swaying drunkenly in front of the tree, Rex said he wanted to really light things up. He held the flame to the tree, which caught immediately. The family grabbed blankets and water. They knocked the tree down and stomped out the fire, breaking many of the ornaments and destroying the presents in the process. Rex laughed through the whole thing<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;Rose Mary and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/rex-walls-the-glass-castle\/\">Rex Walls<\/a> were unable to give their kids the Christmas Rose Mary had promised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Past Catches Up<\/strong>: Rose Mary and Rex Walls Move to New York<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years after moving to New York, Jeannette heard a strange story on the morning radio news. A van had stalled on the New Jersey Turnpike, creating a headache for the morning commute. Clothes and furniture had fallen from the van and were strewn about, and a dog was running wild among the traffic jam. Jeannette thought it was a strange story but forgot about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that night, Jeannette found out that Rose Mary and Rex Walls had moved to New York. Jeannette knew right away that the people from the van were none other than her parents. Jeannette didn\u2019t join in Rose Mary\u2019s glee about the news. She was used to being on her own and didn\u2019t want any interference. Even so, she went to Lori\u2019s to see them the following day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeannette Walls&#8217; parents Rex and Rose Mary Walls spoke a mile a minute about their trip to New York and their adventures during the day. All of the kids were there, but none of them joined in the merriment. When Brian asked why they\u2019d moved to New York, Rex thought it was a silly question. Obviously, they\u2019d come to be a family again.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who are Jeannette Walls&#8217; parents, Rex and Rose Mary Walls?
