Best Father, or Not

While Rex Walls was not the best father, he came through for his kids when it counted. I was most shocked by this when he came up with $1,000.00 to help Jeannette pay for her last year in college. The strange thing is, the Walls were always trying to come up with money for food, but somehow he always came up with money. How Rex came up with the money is a mystery to me, and I don't even think the rest of the Walls know. In the beginning, when Jeannette and Brian were in elementary school, they had no food in the house. Rex heard this, as if for the first time, and brought in a whole grocery bag filled with food for their lunch. Rex had his bad side also. He would spend a lot of grocery money on alcohol, or just waste it. He was also always taking money that was not his, from the whole family, since he was in charge of the finances. Rex let his kids down in many ways, but when it was least expected, he pulled through and provided the kids with what they needed.
