Loving.... Jeannette adored her father. She believed in him until he destroyed her belief. The love, none-the-less remained.

Abusive..... Rex's neglect, in addition to his erratic and sometimes dangerous behavior often put his children at risk..... sometimes with tragic consequences. He was selfish. For me, the best example of his abuse is illustrated when he uses his daughter as a distraction, so he can hustle money in a bar. Rex never thinks twice about Jeanette.... only himself.
