Sadly for Bree, her life has gone through many changes. Rex's death, a battle with alcoholism, her unsettling marriage to Orson, her rivalry with Katherine etc. have lead to a change in character. Now in season 8, rather than hiding the mistakes she's making, she is flaunting them. A bad decision on the writers behalf.
