What goes up must come down. Nothing lasts long for the Walls family, and that includes peace. Once they moved to Phoenix, it seems like their situation will finally change. That maybe they'll start to live comfortably. They have a house, a father who has a job, and sufficient amount of inheritance money. Unfortunately, it didn't last long; addiction is hard to kill. Their father never stopped drinking; he'd destroy the house, go into an angry fit of rage, and he'd get violent.

With the failed attempt of their adventure living in the Grand Canyon, they have no choice but to move in with their father’s parents. He was hesitant at first, but complied for his children. I now understand his behavior and hesitance. I have no words to describe my emotion; Brian was molested by their grandmother, highly implied that the same thing happened to their father. It saddens me to know this happens, not just to their family, but to many others. Even after leaving their house, their situation kept going downhill. Their mother got a job, but the children barely ate and their parents refused aid. I understand why they would make that decision, but saying aid would get them “scarred for life.” ….This is their best and fastest solution, honestly their children have been in more scarring situations.
