Rex has a hard time staying sober, even when he's with Rose Mary. Rex is an alcoholic, and this problem directly effects both his wife and children. During happy times, Rex is sober, Rose Mary is encouraging, and the children embrace the father they love. When things get tough, he goes back to the bottle, and even Rose Mary can't do anything to stop it..... though she tries.
