At the end of the story, after they moved to New York City everyone was moving out and living on their own. Now that they are in New York and living alone Jeannette hardly was seeing her parents. A little while after they moved to New York Rex was in the hospital and then died from a heart attack. “ ‘It’s just the machines keeping him alive at his point,’ “(Walls 280). At this point the rest of the family didn’t believe that this is not how he would have wanted to end his life. Even though there were rough times the Walls family was still able to stick together and know what they all want for each other.

Jeannette was saying that her family was staying in a motel, in Las Vegas for about a month. Jeannette talks about all the casinos, “Brian and I played hide-and-seek among the clicking slot machines, checking the trays for overlooked quarters, while dad was winning money at the blackjack table”(Walls 32).
Jeannette talks about her falling out of the Green Caboose, she shows how she’s more worried about her Mounds Bar then herself, “I rolled several yards off the embankment... grit in my eyes and mouth... blood was running down my forehead and flowing out of my nose... I was still holding the Mounds Bar, but I had smashed it during the fall, tearing the wrapper and squeezing out the white coconut filling, which was also covered in grit”(Walls 30).

Starting on page 129, In the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, The Walls family goes to visit Rex’s side of the family and decide to stay a few weeks. While they stay, Rex and Rose Mary drive the Oldsmobile back to Phoenix, Lori, Jeannette, Brian, and Maureen were left home with Erma, when Erma decided to mend the inseam of Brains pants, Lori and Jeannette walked into the room while Brain was crying and Erma was inappropriately touching Brian. When Rex and Rose Mary got back from their trip, the girls tried to explain what happened, but Erma twisted it and Rex and Rose Mary believed her, “Erma relegated us to the basement after that”(Walls 147). This shows signs of neglect, sexual assault, and mental and physical abuse for example, “Erma reached over to slap me, but Lori caught her hand... Erma jerked her hand out of Lori’s grasp and slapped her so hard that Lori’s glasses went flying across the room”(Walls 147).

When Jeannette and her family pulled up to their Grandmothers house in Phoenix, Jeannette was amazed to see her Grandmothers huge, white, mansion. Jeannette states, “It was a mansion, practically, so big that Grandma Smith had had two families living in it, both paying her rent”(Walls 95). The family was so excited and very great full  that they were able to stay, however, Rex and Grandma Smith didn’t get along to well, “Grandma would yell at Mom not to let that worthless horse’s ass take her grandchildren”(Walls20). Grandma Smith says this because she disagrees that Rex is capable of taking care of 3 children while going off and getting drunk all the time.

When the Walls family arrived to Battle  Mountain, Rex was able to get a job as an electrician in the barite mine. The kids were able to get enrolled into Mary S. Black Elementary school and they were excited to learn along with other students rather than learning everything with their dad. After,  they thought things were going to get better dad loses his job and the kids were worried that they were going to have to move again but then with Rose Mary’s teaching degree she was able to get a job teaching at the school. “Once mom started teaching, I thought maybe we’d be able to buy new clothes, eat cafeteria lunches, and even spring for a nifty extras like the class picture the school took every year” (Walls 76). Although that she got the job, nothing financially changed on what the children where able to get.

To start in the beginning of The Glass Castle Jeannette was three years old. At this time she was boiling hot dogs and then when she got up on the chair to stir them and then she could feel heat on herself. “I turned to see where it was coming from and realized my dress was on fire” (Walls 9).  This here shows do show where the child abuse was in the family because neither of the parents were there for her when she was making hotdogs at only three years old.
