One time in Midland, Jeanette heard some noises while she slept. He came up with different ways to give gifts than the traditional way, like the one time he gifted the kids stars when he couldn’t afford anything for them. Rex also never dimmed his kids' imaginations. and that helped me become a good person today,” Brian spoke. “My father valued compassion, character, strength. Rex also believed strongly in character and personality, as Brian Walls said in an interview at a school. He would either be too drunk to work and get fired, or he quit to “work on his research.” He never wanted to live a normal life, and that caused his family great pain because he trudged them along. He left his secure home to be in the air force, he constantly left RoseMary’s mother’s house even though that was the only stable home the kids had when the grandmother was alive. He was afraid of stability, ever since he was a kid. However, even though he went through all this struggle to make sure his kids were never scared, he still messed up every chance he got. Despite all the bad things going on in their lives, he always turned it into an adventure because he loved his family more than anything. He was considerate, as many bad things he did he never wanted his family to suffer or be scared. Once the kids got old enough they could see through their father’s lies, but he still made up stories. He always made up random stories about mobsters and the FBI chasing their families. Another thing about Rex, is that he never told his kids the truth about how bad things were. He is not physically or emotionally attached to anything outside of his family, and even then sometimes he forgets them. In one of the first times in the book they moved, Rex tossed out their cat because they weren’t being cooperative. He can easily leave and not care for anything left behind without any remorse. He had no attachment to any home they lived in, no matter how long they have lived in it. He does this to avoid bill collectors and find new jobs whenever he gets fired.

Rex uproots his family constantly, often in the middle of the night and having to abandon every piece of living they had in the previous house. Rex left to go into the Air Force, where he met RoseMary and they got married and had children. His dad was a railroad clerk worker, and they seemed to take care of their son very well. He grew up in West Virginia, with his two parents. He never stays in one place for too long, and certainly never in urban areas. He is the father of Jeanette, Lori, Brian, and Maureen. Rex Walls is one of the most eccentric and entertaining characters in The Glass Castle.
